So I bought this Tapco Intrafuse AR stock wrench to remove the castle nut when I replaced the tube and stock on my Stag 8, but the wrench didn't fit right. It was too tight, and I could only fit 2 of the three legs into the notches. Was there a different wrench I should have bought?

I bought some generic armorers tool, and it works fairly well for the castle nut.

 

Like this one.

Does it seat fully around the castle nut or did you have to screw with it?

I used a flat head screw driver and a hammer. It worked very well and i didnt need to buy another tool

It fits fairly well, I have Magpul ASAP's on my ARs. The ASAP gets in the way of the wrench but it is still very usable.

This is the wrench I actually prefer. I like grabbing three notches instead of one. I sometimes have to tap it in from the side but it doesn't slip.

I had the wrench packed up and ready to go back before I read the replies. Understanding that I'm Italian, I unboxed the wrench and tried it again on the castle nut, this time moving the wrench onto the nut from the side. It fits perfectly. I'll throw it in my tool box for another day. Thanks for the replies.

Italian is no excuse...Knuckle Head! They make Berettas don't they?

Yo Kraut! You don't like Berettas?

LOL. I resemble that remark!

As mentioned, it must be slipped on... not other way to do it...

 

On a second note, cguiro suggested a good alternative. My RRA barrel nut isn't standard to anything... you need an adjustable spanner for it, nothing a hammer and flat head couldn't take care of. but, you need a spanner wrench if you plan on putting it back on. You can destroy the threads installing it that way if your not careful.

 

And a adjustable spanner is they best ar tool out there if you have multiple rail systems. they will work on anything.
