I feel like a rookie asking this question... although maybe I am haha. I built my AR a couple of years ago and have since altered it multiple ways. I just ordered a 15" Troy Alpha rail and have questions regarding the installation of it. I had a buddy of mine at the Sheriff's Office remove my fixed front site and add a low profile gas block. I had a 9" Daniel Defense Omega rail on it before but had another friend of mine that works at a gun shop install that rail for me, so I have no experience doing so.
I want to do it myself this time, but am fearful I'm going to mess something up pretty bad. What are the common errors that happen when installing a rail incorrectly? I guess what I'm asking is if installing a FF rail is something that someone could figure out fairly easily on their own, and if they did make one or a couple of small mistakes, nothing major would come from it. I know there are always major screw ups that could be catastrophic, but for the most part is it fairly straight forward and difficult to do something that would completely jack up my rifle? Damn I'm tired... I don't even know if I'm making sense anymore lol Thanks y'all for bearing with me through this! Ya'll are the best.

The Troy uses a standard barrel nut. I visited DDs website and it appears the omega does also so it should be a piece of cake. Thanks for your response! Sorry I'm just now responding, I just got the rail in the mail yesterday and installed it today. The Omega rail wasn't too bad... but the Troy rail was SUPER easy to install. Thanks again! |
