Are there any quad rails compatible with PSA barrel nut?

[DustyGmt]

I have a PSA with the 15" free float Mlok rail. I've heard that the PSA barrel nut it a bear to get off. Was just curious if PSA's free float rails are a proprietary set up or if there were QR's out there that would be compatible. I don't build and tinker enough to know if each manufacturer uses their own proprietary set ups, if you are familiar with PSA's and have one of their FF uppers, it's just two nut and bolts that tighten around the cylindrical barrel nut.

I see alot of quad rails for sale come with a barrel nut. It's not beyond my skills to take off a barrel nut but I kind of just want to swap the Mlok for a 15" free floated quad rail and don't want to buy a bev block and all the rest of I don't have to. Any suggestions?

Barrel nuts for free float handguards are typically proprietary.

Out of curiosity, why would you want to swap a Mlok handguard for a quad picatinny handguard? You can put picatinny sections on the Mlok, if you wish.

That's my question, why would you want to swap an M-lok handguard for a quad rail? They're boat anchors.

Because it looks cool and by extension I look cool with it.

I just like that it's old school and like the look. Plus I have a few with Mlok and have one set up with a 9" QR and I like the gun, I thought I'd like the look of one set up with a 15" QR, the one I specifically want set up with a QR has a SS bbl, MBT trigger and 4-12×44 optic, Bipod, Fixed Magpul stock and OG VFG. Not looking to make an Mk12 clone, but something approximating it. Plus I'd rather have a quality QR than a cheap Mlok.

Other than that, no reason.

Last quad rail I had, the rifle weighed 11lbs.

Yikes, 11lbs doesn't sound very appealing but it's not really a run and gun type of AR anyway so I can deal with a lil added weight since it will basically be shot from bench, Bipod or rested position. I don't know what any of my guns weigh, but I'd guess that it weight about 8 or 9 lbs right now. Now I'm curious, I might weigh them.
