However, all you need is an adjustable spanner wrench.
Most any well stocked tool store will have one or more styles available for sale.
In the unlikely event that it does come loose and you are going to re-tighten it yourself instead of letting the factory take care of it for you, you should buy some feeler gauges so that you can re-verify the Barrel/Cylinder gap before torquing down the barrel nut |
I appreciate the reply. It's true that they've been sold for a decade or more, yet people are still reporting loose barrel nuts and other issues in the past few years on various forums and seller websites. I'm considering the 325 for it's uniqueness, but I would rather not have to send in another gun to the factory for a simple thing like a loose barrel nut. I have feeler gauges, so I only lack the wrench. Also the tool contacts the inside of the barrel as well which a spanner wrench wouldn't do.
To a previous poster, EWK does sell a tool for the TRR8, but not the 325.
