They will absolutely fit. Though it does take a little work. You will need to bore out the ID of the barrel nut since KAC barrels use a smaller OD barrel extension. I've done a handful of them, so feel free to send me a PM if you need some help.
I usually machine the back of the rail as well while I'm doing the install to eliminate the gap.

An FDE set I did for myself.
The fit before boring out the ID of the barrel nut
Skimming a bit off to get it to clock correctly.

If you're able to supply all the parts, I usually do it for $70-85 depending on whether or not you want the back of the rail machined for a flush fit. Send me a PM.
Hello Unclemoak, I realize this is an old thread but I am interested in the work you do and had a few questions. First, did the URX rail in FDE show above come in FDE or did you get in creakoted? I am thinking about purchasing a URX rail but I have only found it in black. If I do decide to go this route do you still do the work or sell the wrenches? Thank you.
Looking good!!!
Very nice. I like the cerakote job who did it? I have a URX rail on order and I need a good place to get it cerakoted.

It came black and was Cerakoted FDE.
I absolutely still do installatiom work and sell SR25 versions of the URX wrench if you want to tackle it yourself.
Great, Just got the handguard today. I will be sending it off to be cereakoted very soon. I will either have you do the install or just buy the wrench. I have bored out a barrel nut before for a heavy barrel ar15 so I should be able to do it . Can I just PM you when I'm ready to either buy the wrench or have the work done? I saw your post on m4carbine too those wrenches look nice. I can't believe that wrench is so expensive, it is 322 dollars on Optics planet. I plan on only using it once but it would be nice to have If I ever want to take the handgaurd off. Thanks.

I make those too for substantially less than KAC does.
Old thread, but do you still make these?
@unclemoak
That is a great question. Do you still make these?
FYI, I never got a response and moved on to another Handguard. No point in paying several $$$ for a tool that will be used once.
