i was looking at getting the 9.5 fsp lite rail and was wondering how the rail keeps from turning because of the way it is attached using the barrel nut holding that bolt-up plate. I suppose if the barrel nut is torqued to the higher end of spec it would be extremely hard to turn the handguard. Would anyone suggest using a star washer like the one on the grip screw? I would think that would give it a more positive lock. Im probably over thinking this but would still like to hear what you all have to say

Once the rail is bolted onto the back plate using the six hex screws the rail isn't moving. I've never had a problem with mine moving & no star washers are needed.

sounds pretty straight forward.  any advice on where to get the best price? cheapest ive seen was $315 with the wrench now on ebay. . .  I almost got one for $250 on gunbroker but someone beat me to it.

If you want one that's in stock from one of the major dealers then you will pay $322 for one from Rainier Arms unless you are LEO. I got mine from Operation Parts a while back for $299 but they don't appear to be in stock with them right now. Good luck, killer.
