| In changing out my stock Magpul MOE handguard to a DPMS free float rail. Does it take a special tool to remove the barrel nut on a DPMS LR308.Is this something I should let gunsmith do or tackle it myself. Thanks |

Yourself. Do not go cheap on your armorers wrench. And either user your own, or borrow the use of a buddies bench vice.
I highly recommend a Upper Receiver Vise Block Clamp. They make life soo much easier. example: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/210021/wheeler-engineering-delta-series-upper-receiver-vise-block-clamp-ar-15 YOu'll be glad you have this stuff if you plan any future tinkering. |

Thanks for the info, you are right probably cheaper to let gunsmith do it. I would have to buy vise, armorers tool and receiver block. Gunsmith said he would do it for $40.00 to $50.00. Thanks I did the same with mine and it does take a standard armorers wrench. As long is it the factory barrel nut. |
