NAS1291 low-height self-locking hex nuts.
Identify selected NAS1291 A286 all-metal locknuts, compare the C3M and C4M thread references and request a quote from Webson.
// DIMENSION GUIDE
Nut thread, width across flats and height
Schematic only; not to scale. Letter labels are keys for this illustration. Use the applicable part specification for dimensions, tolerances and measurement conventions.
// PART IDENTIFICATION
Keep the locking construction in the callout
NAS1291 is a low-height, lightweight self-locking hex-nut family. The C3M and C4M parts shown here use all-metal construction in A286 with an approved dry-film lubricant. They are different selections from the MS21083 nonmetallic-insert family.
Check the thread, hex clearance, nut height, material and surface treatment against the drawing. Thread size alone does not establish an acceptable replacement.

Thread and material entries support part identification. These selected records are not the full series, an acceptance drawing or a live inventory feed. Include the required specification issue and documentation with your inquiry.
// PART-NUMBER EXAMPLES
C3M and C4M identify different thread sizes
NAS1291C3M identifies the 10-32 selection; NAS1291C4M identifies 1/4-28. For these references, C identifies A286 and the M ending is associated with the dry-film-lubricated configuration.
Retain the complete suffix. A NAS1291C4 callout without M is a different configuration in the reviewed standard; it should not be quoted as interchangeable with NAS1291C4M.
// FAMILY COMPARISON
Compare nut families before proposing an alternate
| Item | Reference |
|---|---|
| NAS1291 C...M selections | A286, all-metal locking construction with dry-film lubricant |
| MS21083 | Low-height nonmetallic-insert locking construction |
| MS21042 | Reduced-height self-locking nut family with its own requirements |
| NAS671 | Small-pattern plain nut, nonstructural and nonlocking |
These descriptions explain the distinction between families. A change in series, material, finish or locking mechanism requires review against the controlling requirements.
// REFERENCE SCOPE
Match the required standard issue
The selected C3M and C4M identifications were checked against NAS1291 revision 13, dated February 28, 2010. Use the issue required by your drawing and purchase order for full dimensions, qualification and acceptance. This selected-part reference does not establish the latest revision or a blanket replacement for other standards.
