Barrel Wrench Source? was created by wielywilly-g
Hi,

I have the full float tube on my LAR-8. I want to change it to an Advanced Half Quad. Does anyone know where I can buy the correct barrel nut wrench? I talked to RRA on the phone this morning and they said they were going to be selling vice blocks and the wrench in the future, but for now I would have to send my rifle back and have them install it for $50.
I have to believe there is something avalible.
I saw Edge posted in a different thread about Brownells .308 Armorer's Wrench. Will it work on the RRA?

Thanks,
Bill

I think your going to have 2 wrenches on that one. You will need a plummers strap wrench heavy duty one and a barrel nut wrench. If there is enough demand for them I will start making them again.MSH

I just ordered and received a 308 Armorer's Wrench from Brownell's. They got it to me in 2 days to Hawaii. If you do a search for 308 Armorer's Wrench it'll show up. It seems to be pretty heavy duty and solid. I haven't used it yet though.

I called Brownell's and asked for a gunsmith tech. The guy I talked to said their .308 armorer's wrench would not work on the RockRiverArms .308 barrel nut. I don't know, but it must be somewhat different than most others.

The Duck of Death...lol, Nice name. That from "The Unforgiven"?

Ya, I got the one that works with ArmaLite barrel nuts.

Yes, that's from The Unforgiven. I thought that part was pretty funny.

Willy-g Brownells tech reps are correct I trained the 2 sr reps in basic and advanced black gun class. Post a picture of your rifle and let me see the handguard area and I'll see what you need.MSH

I have heard that RRA was the odd man out on some stuff...didn't think it would have been on the barrel nut though....MSH, being he has the free float tube already, i wonder if the DPMS one would fit.?? being there are two different ends to it...I also googled it..

these are the links I came up with...don't know if any of them will work...but MSH would know.

www.dpmsinc.com/store/products/?prod=639&cat=1450

One of these would have to work, I would think..

Well on RRA's site they say not to use any barrel nut except those made specifically for an RRA because they have a unique receiver thread. I dont no if it is bs or not though. It says it right under the picture.
