Hey guys.
I'm wanting to have some work done to my AR.
I'm looking for a place I can buy and have a rail installed.
Interested in modular rails 9-10"
16" carbine
Thanks for your help

If you find the one you want to buy online, order it and I can show you how to install. Very simple process.

Either way an armorers wrench should work. One side has regular barrel nut pattern on it.  Other side has free float pattern on it.

You can, but be careful not to bend it. But yea you can push the gas tube into the upper then slide it completely out right beside the FSB. But to get the barrel nut off you'll have to remove FSB anyway.

And the rail you got is the exact same one I had on a 24" ar that I sold a while back. It was 15" though. Should be an easy project

It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.
