 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 .

The pins on a standard AR armorers wrench work?

I used a strap wrench on a similar barrel nut.

What's too small?  The pins on the backside of that? 

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

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 .

hi guys!!  first off, after extensive research and goin to sites that had a tool (most were out of stock, no back order, or discontinued) i found the Precision Reflex that had a DPMS pattern tool that was a full handle ( i really don not like the crow foot type) so it showed up today, will take pics tomorrow for everyone's SA, maybe it will help someone out.

thanks so much guys!!
