I am going to be installing a YHM Diamond Specter FF, will a GI barrel wrench work?

yes. that's what i've used to install 3 different YHM FF tubes.

for the jam nut i just used a brass punch and hammer to tighten it up. you also might want to find something to keep the FF rail lined up with the upper while tightening the jam nut. i used a detachable carry handle. if you don't have that you could probably use a length of 1" dowel rod and some scope rings if you've got any laying around.

Depends, some barrels are to thick for the GI Barrel wrench.

Thanks for the replies, hopefully I won't need a to order a different wrench.
The Big Brown Truck should be here tomorow with my forearm.
