    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but my search yielded this only thread with my question. I'm installing an Omega X rail with the newer style barrel nut with the round holes on the long side. DD included a wrench that is shaped like a traditional spanner, but has 3 rectangular tabs on it. I can only get one tab to engage one hole. The middle tab touches nothing and the inner tab bears on the side of the nut...not near a hole. Is this the correct wrench/fit for this barrel nut? The wrench is stamped AR LITE/RIS. This appears that it might work, but will likely mar the nut. Here is a pic of the fit:

    The nut that works with that wrench looks like this:



    Call DD and get the correct wrench before messing something up.

    I spoke with DD and they confirmed what ASH556 said...they are sending me the correct barrel nut wrench. Two thumbs up to Daniel Defense for great customer service!
