Guys,
I'm installing a parallax tactical keymod rail on my AR and I'm running into an issue with the barrel nut. Their proprietary design is a sleeve nut with 1-1/8" x 1/2" flats so to torque it I would need a crows foot socket to go on my wrench. Problem is that I'm trying to find a socket that big and I've nearly exhausted all sources (HD, Lowes, Sears, Auto stores, etc). I've seen the part on the snap-on site however I'd rather not drop $50+ bucks on a one time use tool. Do any of you have an idea on where I should continue the search?
Here's a link to the rail itself:
