I have a carry handle/sight for a flat top that's just sitting in a bin.

I admit it has been a while since I put together my lower, and I have only done one, but I swear I had to use a specialty wrench for the nut that secures the buttstock.  Did I imagine this?

It can be done without the specialty wrench but the wrench is nice to have.  Usually, they're pretty cheap too.  I'm sure several of us have them and wouldn't mind loaning to another member.

How much to convince it that it would be more useful atop my PSA (assuming the Brown Truck of Happiness shows up and the driver rings the doorbell this time..... darned brown-clad ninjas!)?

The upper is already barreled, but the castle nut on the lower looks like it needs a special spanner of some sort.....

How about $20 for the carry handle?

You can tighten the castle nut on the lower with a pair of slip joint pliers.  I've used a rag to keep the jaws from chewing up the nut or you can use the special "spanner".

Are you in Omaha?
