Every component of the AR15 Lite Rail™ has been meticulously assessed, thoroughly shot and tested, improved upon, and manufactured tough enough to become the new benchmark in AR rail systems.

The AR15 Lite Rail™ is specifically designed for those who demand peak performance.

CONGRATULATIONS!By following these simple instructions, you have now successfully installed the finest free floating rail system available for your AR15-style rifle.

NOTE: Prior to performing the following installation, remove flash hider, front sight post/gas block (taper pins drive out from the ejection port side to the safety selector side), handguard cap and barrel nut. You do not need to remove the barrel.

1. INSTALL BOLT-UP™ PLATE AND BARREL NUTWith the counter-bored side facing the muzzle, slide the AR15 Lite Rail™ Bolt-Up™ plate over the barrel all the way to the upper receiver. Then slide the barrel nut over the barrel and thread onto the upper receiver hand-tight. Make sure that the gas tube hole in the AR15 Lite Rail™ aligns with the gas tube hole on the upper receiver.

2. TIGHTEN THE BARREL NUTTighten the Daniel Defense AR15 Lite Rail™ barrel nut and torque to 50 ft/lbs using the Daniel Defense AR15 Lite Rail™ barrel nut wrench. Bolt-Up™ plate will remain loose.

12.0 FSP ADDITIONAL STEP: Insert the front sight base into the FSP opening on the rail system, install the gas tube with the gas tube roll pin while the front sight base is inside the FSP opening. Once the gas tube is installed into the front sight base and inside the FSP opening, slide the rail system and the FSP onto the barrel as one unit. Stop when the FSP hits the shoulder of the barrel.

Note: With the barrel nut and the Bolt-Up™ plate installed properly, the Bolt-Up™ plate will still move.

3. ALIGN AND ATTACH RAIL TO BOLT-UP™ PLATEPlace the AR15 Lite Rail™ over the barrel and mate it with the Bolt-Up™ plate. Insert two screws from the muzzle end through the bottom holes on either side of the rail into the bottom two holes in the Bolt-Up™ plate and hand tighten.

4. TIGHTEN THE RAIL AND REPLACE FSB PINSInsert the four remaining screws from the breach end of the rifle through the Bolt-Up™ plate into the AR15 Lite Rail™ and tighten all six screws using the supplied allen wrench in the following pattern: the center screws first, the bottom screws next, and the top screws last.

Replace taper pins in front sight block (driving pins from right to left), making sure the gas tube is fully inserted into the upper receiver. Reinstall the flash hider.
