PS: In a pinch Vise Grips also work.
How do you remove a smooth barrel nut? I watched my LGS try to use the cheesy tool included with a Wheeler wrench . it did not work. I did not stick stick around to see how he finally did it. But I now have a model 11 with one so I am looking forward to the task.

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

I made a wrench out of 1/2 x 2 flat bar that works but a lathe or milling machine is required
Sharpshooter supply sells a good wrench that will do the job

For mine, I start with the heat gun. If that's not enough, I get the "Blue Wrench" out. ;-)
