That's a fact. Even with the Noveske barrels nuts being threaded on both ends and the threads on each end being offset, i've had to use shims to correctly time them. Without the shims, the torque value was either below spec, or i got it as tight as i could and it still wasn't timed correctly. I will say that for a barrel nut that requires timing, ALG got it right with their EMR. They include a special barrel nut wrench, shims, and extremely detailed and easy to follow instructions on how to time the barrel nut correctly, which resulted in a perfectly timed barrel nut on the first try...and no cursing was necessary!

That would be awesome if they released a rail like that. Hopefully something compatible with a wide range of uppers. I was really bummed when i found out a Geissele rail wouldn't work with a Mega billet upper without having to modify one or the other.
In the meantime, their new quad rails make me want to order another GFY set. As if i need another AR."It's time to start slapping people." - George Carlin

I have used a few different rails: BCM, Fortis with milspec nut, Fortis switch, SLR, Geiselle, Samsons, Noveske, SMOS, Midwest Industries, Rainier Arms/Seekins BAR style.
I will agree its nice not having to time a nut, but I far prefer the looks of the Noveske NSR's and SMOS rails. I've never ran into any issues with timing following Noveskes instructions. I have had to flip one around before. I feel like the extra little effort is worth it....JMO

I once had an NSR barrel nut that just would not time correctly with proper torque (i think Noveske says 40 ft.-lb.). but, i was able to time it at 35#, so thats where it stayed. so far so good.
In other news, i finally finished my GFY build from the parts i bought during the original deal SMOS offered us WEVO folks. It's gone through a lot of changes since i started, but i'm real happy with how it turned out. I'll post pics soon, maybe even resurrect Pyzik's SMOS build thread."It's time to start slapping people." - George Carlin

My SMOS GFY set is finally a complete rifle. Given the awesome deal SMOS gave us on the receivers, my goal was to build this rifle for as little money as possible yet not sacrifice quality in the process. The only thing i purchased specifically for this gun was the barrel. Everything else was on hand, or became available for use in this build as parts came off other rifles for various reasons. After a lot of swapping around of parts trying to get this gun just right, i went with a Ballistic Advantage Modern Series barrel chambered in 5.56 nato with their pinned low profile gas block and melonite gas tube, a Smith Vortex flash hider, Troy BUIS, Magpul MOE furniture in FDE, an Aimpoint ACO in a QRP mount, Rainier Arms Raptor charging handle, ALG QMS trigger, RCA nitrided BCG (i blacked out their logo with some cold blue), Impact Weapons QD receiver end plate, Strike Industries magazine catch and button, and a Noveske takedown/pivot pin set for shits and giggles.

Very nice build. Well, I mean, if quality components in a highly functional configuration with aesthetically pleasing clean lines is your thing...
I'm with feldge, though, please report back on the performance of the barrel. I want, and expect, to see BA meeting their 1MOA guarantee.

I have 2 6.5 Creedmoor barrels from BA and they both are sub MOA barrels.

I know. I couldn't help myself!
Thanks, guys. I haven't shot this barrel for accuracy yet, but i've got a BA Hanson series barrel that will shoot sub MOA. I have high hopes that this will be similar in performance."It's time to start slapping people." - George Carlin
