Got this CMT handguard with a barrel, cannot find a barrel nut wrench for it. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts?

It is not a wrench. In the box there is a flat tool that slides over the nut and you use a torque wrench to tighten it up. If you contact customer service they will probably send/sell you another one.

It looks like the one in the link below. It's easy to throw away in the box if you are not looking for it.

Used handguard, I didn't have a typical box, lol, but I'll send them a message and see if they can do anything for me!

Yeah, i wouldn't go using a castle nut wrench. That barrel nut is made of aluminum and is spec's at 50 to 70 ft/lbs. You might bugger it up real good with an improvised tool. Still, if youre in a hurry and are handy, you could make a tool out of plate steel or aluminum.
