Can I borrow your AR stock tool?

[BeaverMeat]

Wanting to swap stocks on my two Vz58s and I need the AR stock spanner to remove the tube. Not looking to spend $40+ on a tool that I will most likely only use once.

Or... Is there any "farmer" rig technique to removing the castle nut?

Screwdriver and hammer. Go easy. Might mar it up a bit. Wrap screwdriver in black tape should help. You could borrow my wrench but would cost more than $40 to ship it there and back. Lol

Standard ar buttstock tool won't work? Should only be about 15 depending on the dealer

Punch and deadweight hammer... I suppose.

And shipping tax etc, etc. Will do some searching around again.

Castle nuts are universal. Commercial and mil-specs are same-same.

Fair enough, I'd offer to let you borrow mine but if I recall your on the wrong coast. Shipping there and back would likely be close to the cost of buying one

spend the $40 once you are done, flip it on EE to recoup most of your money back.

There's a cheaper tool that do only the castle nut. It should be around 10$

wrap the nut in duct tape, channel locks

Just got one from Wolverine. They were 8.95.

Just use vice grips with no padding underneath. If your too cheap to own the right tools to do the job what do you care what it looks like. LOL just kidding, this is the kinder/more gentle cgn, wrap it in leather then use vice grips should work fine. I've bought the tool for 3 or 4 $ from brownells when on sale but still not economical if that's all you are shipping.

Cheers

you could likely buy a universal tool at princess auto or cdn tire. but a brass punch and hammer is probably easy enough.
