| I just got my wrench to take of my post ban collapseble stock and put on my no ban collapsable and for the life of me I cant loosen it. I believe it may be lock tighted. Its a RRA. I have some Liquid wrench but im not sure if it will take the finish of or not, will it? thanks. |
| The one with the one notch is called a spanner wrench and it will not work with the new type castle nuts. You need one of these www.bushmaster.com/shopping/gunsmith/223-telewrench2.asp |
  But I want to do it now. |

I presume you got a new castle nut with your new collapsible. If you do not care about the old non-collabsible, you can use a big ole pipe wrench and get the old castle nut off. Do the standard installation drill of the new collapsible. The single pin wrench can tighten the new castle nut down sufficiently until you get the right wrench. When you do get the right wrench, tighten down with just a bit of BLUE loctite. edited dumb mistakes |
| I should have clarified my previous response. You can use a spanner wrench, but it is not as good as the 3-prong. Right tool for the right job you know. If you are really desperate and cannot wait, leverage is your friend. Vise the lower and take the spanner and insert say a 3 ft. section of lead pipe on the handle. With that much torque that sucker will break loose. |
