CAR-15/M4 BUTTSTOCK WRENCH Reviews & Ratings

Dedicated wrench has four precision-machined teeth that ensure full, non-slip engagement of all four notches in an M4-type receiver extension nut for easy removal and installation of collapsible carbine buttstocks. Transfers all the torquing force to the nut for fast tightening or removal without risk of damage to nut, extension tube, or receiver caused by the wrench slipping. Includes the handy add-on features of our universal M4 buttstock tool: pry blade/screwdriver, ½' square torque drive opening, fixed stock receiver extension remover, and a convenient hole in the handle for hanging the wrench on a pegboard. Heavy duty steel construction, machined from a single piece of .312” thick steel, with a durable black oxide finish.

SPECS: Steel, hardened, black oxide finish. 7-1?8" (18.1cm) long. Fits current-model M4-type receiver extension nuts with four square notches.

Great Tool Must Have

I teach AR-15 armorers classes. Great tool. Handle needs to be longer without the sharp end. Will break staked castle nuts and red loctite loose. A must for an AR-15 Armorer.

Good wrench with limitations

Excellent wrench with 100% engagement on all 4-slots on the castle nut. Limitations are when working on a rifle with a Magpul ASAP on it. The wrench cannot fully engage the castle nut because of interference with the ASAP plate. I like this wrench to break loose a heavily staked castle nut because it engages all four contact points.
