ok, so had a ksg in the past and it was very good. buddy wanted it so sold it to him. did some upgrades, got a flash hider, and tool, and put it on.
easy peasy no probs.
flash forward 3-5 years decide i better get another KSG. got a nice green one. i have a hider for it, go to change it out and they have changed the nut from 4 grooves to 6 . cool. soooooo have anyone here have a tool they would rent or loan out? i did try a brass punch, but only half heartedly and it did not move. when did they change up the front end? i have a set of mcarbo followers and tool for that, they are also chanced no threaded section in the caps to fit the tool

Invariably there is a tool. For every fastener, there is a driver, but most of us make due with something else unless we're performing those types of repairs frequently.

You could try placing two proper diameter punches in the notches and use another lever in between them to give the torque needed. Snap ring pliers, the 90 degree ones? Tape the nut or a piece of rubber to protect it and get medieval with a pair of slip joint pliers? You, know...get creative.
 
Wouldn't it be easier to make a tool out of flat metal stock? I'm thinking of the tools that are provided to remove the fore-ends on Rem870's or even to open those ultra-cheap plastic two-piece trigger locks that we see being sold in bulk at gunshows; the tools have a pair of prongs that are properly spaced to engage two opposing notches on the round nut and are then simply twisted to remove the thing. Just have to get the size/spacing correct, and you could even use a fairly thick piece of metal that would allow you to round out the profile of the two prongs to get a nice snug fit in the grooves.

You likely have a collection of home-made DIY tools already, specifically targeting individual applications on various guns; just add one more to your arsenal.
 
ill fab something up. problem is these are put on with a impact and are loctighted. known to be hard to get off/ i allready tried a real good fitting set of snap right plyers. no go
 
buying a socket and grinding to fit is a common solution, cheaper than buying the actual tool as well I believe. Plus you can use an impact driver to get it off.
