Its 12.5 inches. It's not attached. I just lined it up to show what it would have looked like had the barrel nut fit.

If that's for sure Armalite threads, at 12.5", then I'm in for it.  Same question, though - did Christiansen send you the wrong barrel nut?  I can't believe that the only make that in Armalite pattern - as easy as it would be to make it in DPMS pattern, too.  That's a question worthy of a phonecall to them, and would rightly solve your dilemna rather easily.

Yup, I called AND emailed just to make sure. I asked explicitly if its Aralite comparable and he said yes.

 

 

              

   Thanks for your interest in our products, and for taking the time to email us. If your upper is a DPMS thread, our barrel nut will not thread on. We do not offer a DPMS thread barrel nut, unfortunately. I have one of my AR-10 uppers (Anderson) that I cannot run one of our handguards on, because of the thread difference.

 

Thanks,

No DPMS nut available. Not sure why they did that.
