More install help
01

Position the band

Fit both halves around the barrel and shroud at the marked location.
02

Torque to 15 in-lb

Tighten the M3 screws evenly. Thread locker is pre-applied; Vibra-Tite Red or blue Loctite works for re-installs.
03

Re-zero your optic

A small point-of-impact shift is normal once the barrel is supported. Re-zero and you’re set.
Why Tricktech

Fewer products, made right.

We don’t flood the market with “good enough.” Every Tricktech part takes months of development before it ships, and we only release it when we’d put it on our own rifles.

Design

Built by enthusiasts. Function comes first, but the part should look like it belongs on the rifle.

Production

Modern CNC equipment holds tight tolerances, so fit and finish are the same on every part.

Materials

No shortcuts. We research and pick the right material for each job, like 6061-T6 billet for the barrel band.

Support

Real people who know the product. If something isn't right, we'll make it right.

Built to last

“If a better product exists in our space, we've failed. That's the standard every Tricktech part is held to.”
