    Apart from the Olympic Arms "Firsh" that was mentioned by az doug in post #6, were there others using this design before Troy?

    It looks interesting. I have another build and will consider this rail.
    Correct, it is a proprietary barrel nut.

    Torque specs are provided. Threads for the rail screws are roll form tapped not cut so they are stronger. The large holes have helicoils.Our nut design is very different from the other guys. The inside of ours is bored and does not have a scalloped type nut . They go on nice and straight.
    thanks

    That is a very good idea to provide torque specs on those parts. I should have been clear that I was referring to the Troy rails.

    Thanks
