Highly recommend for anyone building a reliable rifle." – Sarah L., Competitive ShooterFrequently Asked QuestionsIs this jam nut compatible with muzzle brakes that have a 1/2‑28 left‑hand thread?No. This jam nut is designed for the standard right‑hand 1/2‑28 thread used on most AR‑15 muzzle brakes.Can I use this jam nut on a barrel that has a different finish (e.g., chrome‑moly or nitride)?Yes.
