Does anyone know where I can locate a sws barrel nut for a noveske marked sws rail. I have contacted sws and they have no more squirreled away! Please help!
Gunsmithing Sws barrel nut.
- Thread starter Westhunder
- Start date
Call novekse and see if the newer NSR nuts will work. I have used both and i remember them being pretty close dimensionally speaking. i did not mic them up tho, so apply salt liberally.
I ordered one.... .250 from a go...... I was pissed bc I already had to grind it down to fit in the handguard (too long)
where is it interfering? ill have to put this info away in my notes in case my SWS nut is unusable
The holes are a certain distance from the face of the receiver.... the handguard holes are not the same distance from the receiver. The distance of the holes from each other is the same, however the handguard hits the receiver before lining up with the holes in the barrel nut.
No sws made them and has no more of the old nuts available. I don’t think they are in business anymore at all. The barrel nut had a proprietary wrench you had to use to get it on and off too, stupid I know
ahhhh hole to nut face offset is different. good to know. As far as i can tell, it seems like SWS is no longer doing business. Sad, as i really quite liked their rails. You might try Randal @ ar15barrels.com. He might have a few squirreled away or maybe a line on some NOS.
You just help me find the nut. I’ll put a strap wrench on it.... rock set it on. Don’t care if it never comes off again!
I have the SWS rail in 308. I purchased this rail off of gunbroker and turned the nut down a bit and it worked fine.
YMMV.

I found a nut and handguard on tacswap, I’m going to use that nut as a template and have a few machined and sell for those that find themselves in the same situation. Just FYI for all of you that helped!
I did but I sold the rifle that the rail was on and sent the wrench with rifle.
