For those who have the Noveske NSR hand guard mounted to an upper without the little pin hole for the anti-rotation pin, have you had any issues with the hand guard rotating? I'll be mounting it on a rifle that I will be shooting classes and matches with. I don't know if this is a non issue or not. So I'm kind of looking for opinions or experience with the NSR on an upper without using the anti-rotation pin.
Thanks, Russ |

I do not see the rail moving.
I have one pinned and one not. There are six screws holding it in place. Only way I see it moving is due to a loose barrel nut or improperly torqued screws. A dab of removeable loctite and they are not going anywhere. Noveske even uses loctite on their screws with the anti-rotation pin in place. It is a solid rail design. |

The issue is aligning he rail and making sure that the rail doesn't unscrew the barrel nut itself. Relying on the gas tube alone to prevent the nut from loosening is okay. You probably won't find anyone complaining that their barrel nut loosened on them. It's tough to do that when you're taking the AR out of its padded case over to the posed position for photography.
I decided it would be worth the expense to have ADCO drill my VLTOR MUR uppers. You'll have less alignment issues with your iron sights. |
