survivalshop Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) What does the manufacturer recommend ? Who's the Manufacturer of the HG ? Some of these require a Proprietary wrench . You may have to buy & use their wrench. Looks like you can use a Spanner type wrench , as a last resort , but if you to use a Torque wrench for set up , your won't be able to .

98Z5V Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 The pins on a standard AR armorers wrench work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony b Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I used a strap wrench on a similar barrel nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pending what APF says - and they should offer a damn wrench if their stuff is so special, or different - is an adjustable spanner wrench.

survivalshop Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Is this a AR 15 HG ? Its the only one I see on their Sight . A close up of their Barrel nut shows a smaller section at one end of the Barrel Nut . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
