[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3176107, member: 5412"] Sorry about getting back to you. If your talking about this nut, [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181122/2df25914899548a5d90f0e8140680a56.jpg[/IMG] I don’t have a spanner to fit that. What I used was a tool I got with some Dawson Sights to drift out the front sight on a pistol. Short piece of aluminum with a piece of Teflon on the end. Just used a small hammer and tapped on it to back it off. I suspect a small piece aluminum tubing could be filed down to do the same and not mar the finish. As far as files, just a general half round, rat tail, or round file will work. It’s just wood so a high end set isn’t necessary. You’ll use sandpaper more than anything. The stock I put on mine required very little fitting. Most are cut out and rough finished with computerized equipment programmed to match factory specs of the receiver your going to mount it on. It looks intimidating when you start, but when you get done you’ll be thinking, this isn’t that tough. [/QUOTE]
