Hi all,
I'm looking to swap the flash hider on my M305 with a Matador Arms Hammerhead but the castle nut is being stubborn. I've had the flash hider off before (thanks to Hungry's M305 clinic), so I know the problem is not the spot welds. Likewise the front sight set screw is out.
I'd like to keep the castle nut & flash hider intact (no need to damage stuff unncessarily). Does anybody have a source for USGI Castle Nut Pliers in Canada? I took a peek at Brownells, but the ship cost is....excessive (plus our dollar in the tank doesn't help much). I called TSE in Calgary, but no luck there. Figured I'd ask here as part of my ongoing search.
Alternately, if anybody in the Edmonton area has a set, mind if I use them for 5 minutes?
Thanks all!

), and the castle nut was loose enough to unscrew with my fingers. So, while I don't need these anymore, I'm still keeping my eye out for one of these tools for next time.
