About four months ago I bought a C-More four rail free float forend on the EE. I decided to get off my duff and install it tonight only to find out that I don't have a way to tighten the lock-nut that keeps the rail from spinning.
Anybody know where to buy a wrench for the lock-nut? I have a YHM free float tool, a CAR buttstock spanner wrench, and a multi-tool armorer wrench and none of them mate up with the lock-nut.

I put a couple of these together a few years ago before YHM's were so prominent in the marketplace.
I seem to remember having to make my own special spanner wrench, but I'll be damned if I could find it now. We had a CNC mill sitting in the shop at the time, man I miss that machine... McMaster wil have hook spanners and pin spanners. One of them is bound to be close enough to work. Maybe C-More sells a wrench? |

Nah, I already went over to their website to take a look. It states that "although the installation is simple, special tools are required and is best left to a qualified expert."  I just need the damn wrench to install it! |

You could try a rubber strap wrench from Sears/Craftsman. It should get it tight enough that and some Blue Loctite.
