Local spot to buy Free Float Shims

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where I could buy free float nut shims such as the ones in the link below? I'd prefer to get them local and complete my build instead of sitting on it for 2 weeks while it ships.

Just curious, why do you need these? Having a hard time trying to align the gas tube with the hole on the nut without going under/over the torque specs?

 

 

Thats usually the reason. With milspec barrel nuts I prefer to try a different barrel nut, but if you have specialized barrel nut for your handguard that gets expensive quick. 

 

My guess is you are going to have to order them. All the main gun parts places should have them and you can expedite your shipping.

That is the issue. free float with proprietary nut. I have two rifles that i need them for. 

 

On a side note, the screws are pretty much stripped on my YHM gas block so that's going to be a bitch to remove as well. A few road block but ill manage

 

I am going to see if I can get them expedited shipping from somewhere not insanely far away
