The youtube videos I meet prove a large Allen wrench that I practice not have. What Allen wrench do I demand? #two 02-21-2015, 08:22 AM scooter123 Member Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Metro Detroit, Michigan Posts: vi,710 Likes: 171 Liked 3,929 Times in i,952 Posts I have Hex Keys upwards to 1 inch in my tool box at work so I would not consider the i yous need to exist "large", in fact it's rather small. I practice non accept the 15-22 but tin can tell you that on a standard AR15 the grip is mounted using a ane/4-28 screw and the Hex Key for this size screw is three/16 inch. So, what you need is a three/16 inch Hex Central. BTW, I've never like the terms Allen Wrench or Allen Screw, because Allen is simply a brand. I was taught that these are Socket Head Screws and the tool used to plough them is a Hex Key. Yeah, picky picky picky. Notwithstanding calling a mag a clip gets a lot of people going and I'chiliad the same way about tools.

I was raised in a garage and body shop and yes, we worked on large diesel trucks and farm equipment (large at the fourth dimension, I gauge) and I've never even seen a hex central past 1/2-9/xvi. What in the HECK do yous apply a 1" allen wrench for and why would you routinely (obviously) take a set up to that size in your toolbox??? #four 02-21-2015, xi:33 AM GhostMutt Fellow member Bring together Date: Jun 2014 Location: The N, Uk Posts: 1,174 Likes: 899 Liked 1,249 Times in 650 Posts Yeah what ^ said You are going to demand a long one obviously...oo err missus. Or get i of those screwdriver sets with magnetic removable heads with a pick of hex key sizes....that should run across y'all right for all your add together ons and doo dads all of which seem to use hex keys. Likewise exist vigilant when removing the stock grip for the spring and detent may catch you by surprise. This is all you actually need to scout..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj2JVlLSZWk....

Simply exist careful of the springs. AR grips don't have the indentation for the take down spring so be sure to install information technology straight and you won't have issues. I don't know if in that location's a blind nut for the hex spiral, so accept care not to over tighten. Most loose hex wrench sets come in long and brusque. Obviously yous'll demand the long one. #half-dozen 02-21-2015, 02:45 PM Macoffman Member Bring together Date: Jan 2015 Posts: 52 Likes: 0 Liked 10 Times in 8 Posts Thanks everyone. I have tons of hex keys around only none were long plenty to fit inside the handle and accomplish the screw.
