    Does anyone have a spare DD 762 Lite Rail Barrel Nut Wrench? It is different than the AR-15 lite rail wrench. I would be more than happy to purchase it from you via paypal if you have one. Unfortunately DD discontinued the wrench and sent the consumer up shit creek without a paddle. I may have to use a pipe wrench on the barrel nut and trash the whole assembly if I can't find one. Thanks for the help.
     
    I sent an email to Daniel Defense and here is their reply:

    "Good afternoon! Unfortunately that item has been discontinued quite a while ago and we no longer make those wrenches. I'm very sorry.

    I've had that same issue in the past and I used a vise grip. Throw a shop rag over the barrel nut and clamp down on the barrel nut and give it a turn. Make sure it's in a vise. You may get a tooth mark or two on it, but it won't be seen once you get the handguard back together.

    Sorry I can't do more on this. I'm wishing you luck!"

    I have purchased several DD rails and barrels in the past, but this is the reason I will never buy another Daniel Defense product again.
