I am working on my first build and am using an LT 11" handguard. The prongs on the barrel nut wrench feature on the AR Multi-tool (Sherluk Marketing) that I have wouldn't line up with the holes in the LT barrel nut. I knew that the good folks from Sherluk would be at a local gun show this weekend so I took the tool (and the barrel nut) to show them today. None of the wrenches or multi-tools that they had at the table would fit either. They did however fit on the barrel nuts that this company sold. I noticed that some of the AR multi-tools that I have seen on the internet only had two prongs where mine had three. So upon returning home this afternoon I removed the center one with my Dremmel, still no luck. The pins seemed too wide. At this point I was getting rather frustrated and being the genius that I am I decided that the best thing to do would be to bend one of the pins with a hammer (stupid). It promptly snapped off and flew to some unknown location where at this moment it is safe from me and my hammer. Now I need a new barrel nut wrench before I can proceed, damn. I am wondering if there is a special kind required for LT barrel nuts, if it is possible that I have an out of spec barrel nut, or if the company that I originally purchased the multi-tool from is suspect. If anyone out there has some advice to offer it would be greatly appreciated.
