JP Barrel nut tool.

Rustyzx9 · Mar 5, 2017

I'm needing to buy or borrow the proper tool for removing a JP Barrel nut. The regular AR tool that I have isn't quite the right one for this job. Thanks in advance for your help.

what does the nut look like? post a pic please

This is a pretty good look at what I'm working with. The barrel nut has 4 holes in the face and 2 of them seem to be smaller than the other ones seemingly making the thing proprietary. The ar tool I have works on everything else I've got except for this.

I appreciate that, but it looks like you're in Missouri... might be further than I'm willing to drive for this project. Lol.

I have a pipe wrench and some tube to use as a cheater bar.

I'm pretty sure the mail runs from there to here & back.

I've installed one of these handguards before & don't remember using any tools other than what I already have in the shop. I think I used my barrel wrench that just has 2 pins.

Could you use a Park Tools SPA-6 Adjustable Spanner from your local bike shop?

I'm pretty sure that's what I used too. I dont remember there being smaller holes either.

I can get my hands on an arc welder, that bastard will be tight after that.

A tool with 2 pins would be prefect... mine has 3 at the moment. Lol. No grinders or arc welders needed for this job, thanks though. Lol. Well, maybe a little grinding.

Let me see if I can find my wrench. I've been using my magpul armorers tool lately.

I'm just going to cut a pin off the wrench that I have. I should've thought of that myself.

What a pain in the ass.... turns out that 3 holes are small. After some file work I got the wrench "modified" and the new handguard installed. Big thanks to everyone for all the help.
