Please Note: If you intend to connect an Aero Precision Handguard to a standard threaded DPMS/Aero M5 upper receiver, you will need this M5E1 Handguard Barrel Nut.
If you have an M5E1 Enhanced Upper Receiver, you do NOT need a M5E1 Handguard Barrel Nut as the barrel nut and rail mounting platform are forged directly on to the upper receiver itself.
