AR15 Handguard Tool

[Imissedagain]

Was looking at the variety of those tools online.
Which one would be best, if it will be used everyday,
to remove and replace the HGs?
Thanks,

I don't know the best anything despite years on gun and car forums. But using one everyday got my interest; LE trainer?

Are you planning to use it on standard configuration handguards with the delta ring retainer?

 

[ColbyBruce]

I use this tool, inexpensive and simple.

For Colt 6920s.
The old Sporters were easy with hands.
Those round bar stock tools, have read that they bend with everyday use.
Need something well made for gunstock work.
If necessary, will make one.

Wheeler Delta Series tool

I've got guys (and gals) tromping in/out my door at least weekly, if not daily. The Wheeler Delta Series locks in tight, compresses the D ring (or whatever spring loaded design you have) and for sure hasn't bent out of whack yet.

Can't recall Midway or Brownell's, or maybe even Academy Sports, but was one of them.

I ordered a handguard from Midwest Industries and since I could barely budge the delta ring by hand, I also ordered the handguard removal tool.


Worked great, made it a 5 minute job to change the handguard.

You should be OK with either of the tools depicted above. I have one that looks like the one snubbyfan posted and it works well, but it wasn't expensive and there may be improved versions out there.

I like the one Snubbyfan posted.
Looks like that is the Bushmaster.
Prefer that to one that has welded parts.
Just put fresh wood cutting blades on the large and small bandsaws, so if I can't find any metal, close to what's
needed, will order one.

Thx again,

The only metal in the shop, needed to be band-sawed, so bought this one from Brownells, along with a buffer tube, for a butt stock project.

What is the purpose of the item, circled in red?
Picture is from the Web as our 6920 handguard covers that area.
Thx,

Uncle Sugar taught me that was for a bayonet.

Thanks for the bayonet info.
Technically, it might be called, the bayonet extender mount?
