I just got a Daniel Defense M4 quad rail (I know it's old, so am I, get over it). For some reason I've been wanting to built an upper with a 14.5" barrel, FSP, and quad rail.

Hoping that someone has the wrench it takes to put it on. The rail and the wrench have been discontinued for a while.

The instructions say I can use a strap wrench so I might have to resort to that.

No. That fits their other rails. The one I need is unique to the M4 rail.

I'm not sure why they say it fits the DDM4. I know that wrench does NOT fit what I have.

Here is the wrench I need:

I can almost promise you a strap wrench is not going to be strong enough break a barrel but loose. If you can get me some dimensions I can cut you one out on a water jet.

It's not the barrel not, just an oversized aluminum nut that holds the handguard to the barrel nut.

In that case it may just work. My offer still stands however. I would need a blueprint of sorts.

I would love to get one if it's not too expensive, maybe I could mail you the nut?

Absolutely. I could make a few. Just pay for shipping and be patient. :bigsmile:

That would be sweet.

Not sure if there's a market for them since the rail and wrench are both discontinued.
