[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2132196, member: 93138"] That's terrible! You should fix that ASAP! You're welcome. Wish that I could recall where I sourced that barrel nut wrench from. Might try Brownells, see what they have. Other guesses are Primary Arms or Rainier. It is big and burly enough that I rarely need anything more to loosen a barrel nut. The Magpul holder is just about everywhere, although Gieselle offers a tool that works similarly in that both engage the barrel shroud locking lugs so that you're not torquing on the upper receiver directly. There is a little bit of torque in the upper receiver during barrel nut tightening when using these tools, but it is limited to within just the threaded spigot. If it is decided to first try hand turning a chamber reamer (you can rent them) in the existing barrel I will suggest that you'll still want to pull the barrel out of the upper receiver as doing so will make the process much easier.
