I used Liquid Wrench, heat, and a 3 prong heavy duty tool with a 24 inch cheater..........
the nut did not budge, and I broke the tool. The tool says "viewpoint marketing". Anybody know how to contact them? I need to replace it for the person I borrowed it from.  Plan B is to send it to ADCO. |

Any chance this was put together with loctite as a duty weapon?
There are a bunch of different types of barrel nut wrenches out there. I have a special one I made just for armalite nuts. If you do much upper work, DPMS (yeah, I know) makes a wrench just for freefloat tube work. It will reach into really tough spots from around the receiver for the 1 piece type tubes and it uses 1" long 10-32 screws for the pins so they are easy to replace should you break one. I have yet to break one, but I sure have tried. If all else fails, send me the upper and I can get it apart for you... |

Thanks for the reply. The 10-32 pin idea is great, and I would make a tool, but I need them threaded, so I will just go ahead and send them to ADCO. It is the Match Armalite, and there is a good chance it is loctited. Maybe they used Green, because with the heat and the amount of force I used, red or blue should have popped loose. |
