I am looking to upgrade my handguard on my PA-10.  Currently, I have the Magpul MOE.  I am looking to get an SLR ultra light weight free float rail, but am not sure what barrel nut to choose when ordering.  It gives me the drop down options of 1. DPMS/SR25 or 2. AR10.

This is what i am hoping to get.  I already know it needs to be High Profile (seen some people that bought low profiles and it did not line up)

Thanks for helping the newbie!

Don't know where you saw that the PA-10 is high profile, but it's not. You need a low profile handguard and SLR doesn't make one.

Also, the PA-10 will be DPMS pattern for the barrel nut.

WOW!! Thanks for that before I got royally screwed.  SLR has some DPMS low profile handguards.  (http://slrrifleworks.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=66_107_113)

Gotcha, guess I didn't think they had a low profile because I was needing one shorter than 12" and their shortest looks to be 14".

Good to know!  I have purchased the Black Rain Ordnance 15'' modular rail (http://blackrainordnance.com/bro-mod-15-fde/).  I am going to check if it fits, if not, its going back.  Brennan at firearms4less is a super nice guy. Basically said if it don't fit, send it back for full refund.  

If not, looks like I will be getting the SLR.

Thanks for the info!

I got the same measurement.  I called Palmetto state and asked them before I purchased anything.  They said it is Low profile and DPMS format.  So I Googled just that and got a bunch of results.  I guess today when my rail arrives, I will actually be able to determine what kind of idiots work for PSA.
