7075-T6 Aluminum – Strength Without the Weight

The Q Honey Badger Barrel Nut is machined from high-strength 7075-T6 aluminum, the same alloy used in premium receivers and hard-use aerospace components:

• Material: 7075-T6 aluminum for excellent strength-to-weight ratio GunMag Warehouse+4OpticsPlanet+4GrabAGun+4

• Strong enough to lock the barrel and handguard down under hard use

• Much lighter than steel, helping keep your Honey Badger or AR-15 fast-handling and well-balanced

For builders chasing a lightweight SBR or carbine, 7075-T6 aluminum is the premium choice for a durable but weight-conscious barrel nut.

Clear Anodized Hardcoat – Gray, Corrosion-Resistant Finish

Q finishes this barrel nut in a clear anodized hardcoat that shows as a subtle gray tone:

• Finish: Clear anodized hardcoat, gray Black Market Arms+5GrabAGun+5Bauer Precision+5

• Adds a tough, corrosion-resistant outer layer that stands up to:

  • Heat from prolonged shooting

  • Solvents and cleaning chemicals

  • Humidity and field conditions

• Clean gray look that blends perfectly with Q’s Honey Badger aesthetic and other gray/anodized components

You get both functional protection and a premium appearance that looks right at home on a high-end Q build.
