Forward Controls Design CN5F A5 Castle Nut, OD Green

CN5F castle nut for Vltor A5 system The CN5F castle nut is an advanced iteration of our original CNF model, crafted to meet the specific demands of the Vltor A5 system. Since its inception in 2018, the CNF has set a standard for reliability and performance and the CN5F builds upon this legacy with precision engineering and thoughtful design enhancements. Extended length for Optimal coverage - the CN5F is 0.1 inches longer than its predecessor, maximizing coverage of the threaded area on a receiver extension (RE) without compromising backward compatibility. This ensures that even the longest carbine stocks can fully collapse on both the Vltor RE-A5 and our RE5F. Compatibility and Functionality - while the CN5F is specifically designed for the Vltor A5 system, it maintains compatibility with standard TDP spec length REs. However, users should note that the additional length may prevent full stock collapse on these standard REs. Enhanced Staking notches - addressing common feedback, the CN5F features longer and deeper staking notches. This design ensures that once the castle nut is installed and staked, it remains securely in place, requiring deliberate action for removal. This reinforces the original design intent of stability and permanence in critical components. User-friendly design - the CN5F eliminates the discomfort associated with traditional wrench notches, which often serve as unintended serrations. This improvement enhances the installation experience, allowing for smoother and safer handling. Robust construction - machined from high-quality 4140 PH steel, the CN5F is built to withstand rigorous use. Its Cerakote Olive Drab Green finish not only provides a durable protective layer but also adds a tactical aesthetic to your firearm. Proudly Made in the USA - as with all Forward Controls Design products, the CN5F is manufactured in the USA, ensuring the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. The CN5F castle nut represents a thoughtful evolution in firearm components, combining enhanced functionality with user-centric design. It is a testament to our commitment to innovation and quality, ensuring that your equipment performs reliably in every situation.
