M&P 15-22 barrel removal

[Madhouse]

Has anybody found a good how-to on barrel removal?

My buddy and I are going to thread our barrels.

I found a little information on one site where an aftermarket place had removed the barrel, supposedly it takes a special tool from S&W.

Guys on another forum making their own barrel removal tool. Essentially a 1" tube with 4 prongs at 90 degrees each. These prongs are inserted into the barrel nut. Removing the barrel nut allows the barrel to come out.

There is also a guy online making and selling a 15-22 barrel removal tool.

Is this it? Google found it on photobucket.

Ill bet there's a hook spanner wrench kind of like this that will work.

Theres also automotive wrenches that work similarly. Maybe someone with access to a Matco or Snap on truck can get some input

This image is a ball joint wrench.

Amazon has more
