So I've decided to take my MOE handguard off and replace it with a free-float rail. One part for being a longer handguard and heat shield, one part hiding the old FSB gas block's pin holes.
Anyways, I have this tool (TAPCO AR Armorer's wrench). It worked great installing a free-float onto my AR-15. It even managed to get the standard barrel nut off the AR-10. However, the 3 pegs on the back side of it (used for installing free-floats) only fit AR-15s. The 3 pegs are not spaced far enough for the 308 AR barrel nut. Has anyone used an armorer's wrench to install a free-float barrel onto a 308 AR-10? If so, can you tell me which one you used? I'm looking at this one but there are some reviews saying it doesn't work for 308 barrel nuts. Of course, those people may have overlooked that the description said that it is not meant for standard barrel nuts and just free-float style nuts and tried to install standard ones with it.
Also, if anyone lives near Westminster and wouldn't mind letting me borrow yours (either me coming to you or you coming to me, the difference wouldn't matter to me) to see which one fits my barrel nut, I'd appreciate it!
