KeyMod Barrel Nut Replacement

[thirtydaZe]

I'm currently waiting on a reply from BCM, but thought i'd ask here.

Last night, in the process of one of my slowest projects ever, i was attaching my barrel to the upper receiver.  at the end of the day, when i was torquing it down with the supplied tool, it slipped, and basically stripped the notches the tool locks into, and burred the exterior of the nut.

I managed to get the nut off, but was using a different tool as the supplied on wouldn't fit over the burrs.  this is when this tool sheared off and left me with nothing.

So, before i think a replacement might be difficult to get, i lock on my vice grips, and get the nut off, obviously ruining the exterior of the nut.

anyhow, BCM doesn't seem to carry one, that i can find, as a stand alone.

Hoping someone has a solution for me, would Hate to have to buy another free float rail.

doesn't look like a standard nut is going to do it.

here's what i have, if you see the pic, you can see that nut.

They seem to be.  I'm learning as i go i guess.  I will be taking this one real slow.  I had been waiting to do this a couple weeks now, wife went to be last night, so before i knew it, i was wrenching away (in a hurry).

My own fault, wont happen again.
