The standard RPR barrel nut wrenches won't work because the threaded portion of the nut ahead of the AR15 splines is larger. I bored a Brownell's AR15 wrench to clear and it worked slick.
The Ruger barrel tenon is 1.2", so you'll need a barrel vise that works with that size. I used a standard 1.25" barrel blank, so the inside of the Ruger hand guard nut needed to be bored larger. There was lots of material left when I was done and it'd still work with the Ruger barrel.
I'm pretty sure the usual players will be making barrels and tools available for the big RPR shortly.
