My armorer's wrench is apparently out of spec. I tried to install an Aero BAR nut today and found that the 3 small posts on my wrench are not properly spaced, so I can't even use it. I tried bending them into position using my vise but they're too far off. Anyone in the vicinity of Lynnwood have a wrench I can borrow for a day? It would be much appreciated.

I'm in Kirkland. You could come down and throw your AR on my Geisle "Power rod" (it acts like a recvr block) in the vise, and use my wrench.
Or I'll be heading up to Lynnhood tomorrow to help Sinus move and could meet you for a hand off - say... at Lowe's - around 11:00. You'd have to get it back to me the next day around 9-9:30 same place or manage to bring it to me sometime this weekend? _________________ “Finding ‘common ground’ with the thinking of evil men is a fool’s errand” ~ Herschel Smith "The “A return to First Principles in a Republic is sometimes caused by simple virtues of a single man.

Thanks, Jim! I can make a trip to Kirkland in a little bit. I'll PM you my # so we can coordinate.

If that falls thru, I have one you could borrow as well but am in the Puyallup Area.

The Geissele reaction rod isn't going to help you. It does a great job of holding the barrel, but you still need the wrench for the barrel nut.

Yep, Jim hooked me up with the tools and I installed the BAR nut with ease. Eventually I need to just get a new wrench made in the USA to the proper specs, rather than this cheap Chinese POS I have now.
