KRG W3, what tool to torque front action screw?

[748rpilot]

OK so clearly I'm retarded, but what freaking tool do you use to torque the front action screw on a KRG W3? It's a 6mm hex, OK fine, but the channel is so narrow, none of my 1/4" hex drivers will turn in the channel.

I have a set of Chapman gunsmithing tools but the barrel on the extension is too large and the bit doesn't line up with the screw.

Fine, use an Allen wrench. How do you put a torque wrench on an Allen wrench?

I guess I just don't understand how I'm supposed to torque the front action screw to a particular, specific value. If someone can point me in the direction of the correct tool I'd really appreciate it.

Get a fix-it stick torque limiter and their extended action bit.

I bought this kit and added the extended bit…you don’t need a kit per se but I find it to be enormously useful.

Even so had to buy the KRG extended hex wrench

I saw the long hex bit sockets at Home Depot and just assumed they wouldn't work because of the circumference.

Turns out they did, thanks for the suggestion.

El cheapo-cut a 6mm hex wrench and use a 6mm socket-- You could epoxy those two together.

Done this before. Im not a big fan of using ball end Allen keys(fix it) on stuff that you can get straight on, it's a good way to eat up fastener head or slip and booger it up. Ball end Allen's do not have the same amount of engagement as a regular Allen key, turn wrenches for a living.

Yep - That’s what I do for my bravos (3/16). Just keep the socket and cut Allen wrench in the torque wrench box. A single Allen wrench from the hardware store was like $2.
