Rieckman Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I would call Tim at Taccom. He'd probably be the fastest and best response. Link to comment
Matt1911 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 If it fits tight, then yes. Link to comment

Thanks https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1007133147/pri-barrel-nut-wrench-ar-15 This is what I've used for Taccom barrel nuts... Use lithium grease and torque them down to 40 pounds... Tighten once, then loosen, then tighten again... Good to go... I've had this tool for over 10 years and it's always worked well... Try yours first... If it doesn't work for some reason, get one of these. Link to comment
moonshoxx Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Yahtzee. Thx folks. Ill post pics when done Link to comment
TRUBL Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I personally use the 5 pin one......and it works fine. Try the 3 pin.....be carefull, if you slip, you will need to clean up the sharp edges Tim Link to comment
Timido Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 https://www.2uniquellc.com/product-page/ar15-m16-barrel-wrench-plate These tools are high quality. This is what I use and it is nice stuff Link to comment
moonshoxx Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Looked at my wheeler again and it is only two pins. May not be worth the risk. Link to comment
dlightning Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Err on the safe side. Although it is only 40lbs. Mine only has two bins also and no problem. Link to comment
