ASG Armalite M15 Barrel Nut

[Ryan_F]

So I'm wanting to add a Nuprol Bocca Series Two rail on my gun. Can't find out anywhere on how to remove this type of barrel nut, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I reckon a standard armorers wrench would do it.

Cheers, any specifics on how to do this? Will be my first time removing the barrel nut so I don't want to end up bending the inner barrel. I'm a wee bit scared not going to lie haha. Also, I've attached a few more pics.

Stick the nub on the wrench in the hole on the barrel nut and rotate:

Yes - if you read the text above too quickly you come up with a very different sentence....😜

 

Alternative methods (for bodging it and probably inflicting some kind of damage):

- Vice grips

- Stick the nut in a bench vice and rotate the receiver

- A drill bit of identical size to the hole, into the hole, and try twisting it off by hand
