He is not making and marketing his barrel nut wrenches to the general public. They are priced at a point almost no one will pay. There is a lot of work and hand fabrication in these.
The one I bought from him for my 6940 Monolithic I was hoping would also work with the M5 since they use the same castellated barrel nut, but it don't. The upper receivers between the 6940 and M5 are very different.
I paid the high price for the tool because I wanted one for my 6940,s, discovered it didn't work with my M5s, sent one of my M5 uppers to Ken and he is making M5 wrenches from me, himself and his shop only.
No one has a M5 Barrel nut wrench except the Colt factory or a private individual machinist who might have made his own. Basically no one has one.
Ken told me in last email he had received my M5 upper and was ordering the material. He has been fantastic to work with.
My 6940 wrench is a work of art.
