Anyone in the Clackamas County area that has the tools to swap a barrel nut? I bought a new hand guard. I do not work on these things enough to invest in the tools and do not have a vise. Beer of your choice.

What handguard do you currently have installed, and what handguard are you installing? Most free float handguards have proprietary barrel nuts. Some come with barrel nut wrenches, others might need a special size crowfoot wrench if you plan to use a torque wrench.

Also, do you have a mil-spec or billet upper? Most billet uppers won't fit into the standard clamshell vice, so you would need something like a Bev Block or Reaction Rod.

I have the majority of tools you might need, and would be happy to help, but lack of a vise will be the biggest problem. As much as I'd love to help, I don't feel like unbolting my vise and lugging it around...
