Thanks in advance. Medium pipe wrench I ended up using an adjustable wrench, couldn't seem to get a good snug fit from any of my SAE wrenches. Buffer tube wrench had a slot that fit well but the wrench was flimsy and awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue109 Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Pretty sure ive only ever used a crescent wrench for flash hiders. I have a smallish thin one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

392heminut Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 I have a 12" Crescent wrench that ground down to a thinner profile for something several years ago and have been using it on muzzle devices ever since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should really call that a multi-tool. It makes a good hammer when you need one too. Edited October 20, 2017 by DNP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Sergeant Posted October 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thanks again guys, good stuff & love the humor. Im helping a friend work on a gun in the future and he happens to have OCD. That said, I’d better have the right stuff and about 6 options. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
