Does anyone make a nut wrench with more than three pins? I would like to see something with a few more because for some reason whenever I remove a nut with a three pin wrench the wrench puts all the torque on one pin and it never fails that one or two of the notches in the nut gets malled up.

I was looking at the PRI wrench at MidwayUSA last night, it does not seem to bad on price at $22!

The PRI is the best barrel nut wrench there is. The only downside is that it can't be used (without modification) unless the flash hider and FSB are removed.

I like the wrench Troy includes with the TRX rails. It covers about 3/4 of all teeth, tightens up around the nut as you apply torque, so no slippage.

I bought this wrench and have had very good luck with it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZVKMVY/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title

But it only has 3 pins. I have removed the OE barrel nut with it and installed, removed and reinstalled the barrel nut and it seems to work alright.

You wouldn't know the name of the beast would you?

it just comes with the battlerail and is to be used with your torque wrench - you might check with Troy to see if it is sold separately

Question, is that wrench for that barrel tube in particular?

I like the armorer's wrench sold by BCM. In second place is a 24" Rigid pipe wrench. If I don't need to reuse the barrel nut and it doesn't come off easily with the armorers wrench, the pipe wrench will make short work of it. For me it's safer than the wife finding an upper in the freezer, playing with a torch or busting my knuckles.

Both, one end is for standard barrel nut, the other for Troy barrel nut.

Best one I found was made by a buddy with a plasma cutter and a mig welder!
