Armalite barrel nut
Very sturdy piece. Haven't used it yet but it's there for the task when needed. Been looking for this piece for a LONG time! Thanks Brownelle
Would you recommend this?
Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Right tool is a must
As usual I just couldn't leave well enough alone. I just had to have this ym free float. I was not aware that it took an armalite ar10 style nut instead of the dpms style I was used to. This Lil tool got me back up and running. Fit was tight but it did the trick
Well built for the price
I installed an Armalite free float tube on my AR-10A with this wrench and it worked as advertised. Very well built for the price. Some reviews are a little miss leading, this will work with a stock barrel nut on the AR-10. Pictured is the wrench fit up to a standard barrel nut I took off the rifle. So no need to buy 2 wrenches to replace an Armalite barrel nut.
Works really well.
Perfect fit for my AR10. If you purchase this, you need not purchase the free float nut wrench from Armalite. I recommend this PRI part.
Great tool
Fit my 20 hole free float barrel nut snug. I like the heavy duty construction and the five extra long pins. Right tool for the right job. Nothing like some of the cheap combination tools.
At last!
I at last have a barrel nut wernch that works!! I used it on a free float tub nut and it was the best wernch that I have used fit was perfect easy to use great product!!
WORKS GREAT!
This thing works great. It goes on a little snug. Just a light tapping with a mallet worked well for me. I liked the fact that it went on snug as then the tool would stay put while my hands were off of it. I used a torque wrench to tighten the barrel nut and I had no fear of slipping or breaking. This thing is a WRENCH! It is made of real steel. The reverse side fit my floating hand guard nut as well.
Works only on old style AR-10 barrel nut
The newer (A2 and on) AR-10 has a smaller barrel nut that has the outside dimensions of an AR-15 nut. Construction looked good, probably the right tool for the job on the correct rifle. Note: The PRI AR-15 wrench will not work on the AR-10A2 because the barrel diameter is larger than the AR-15 and the hole in the center of the tool is not large enough to fit. PRI tells me they plan to make a new version of this wrench with pins for both style nuts on either side.
