Go to X-Ring they have several different types in stock and can explain the best way to use them.

For the Barrel Nut buy one with a 1/2" Drive Square Hole.  That way you can use a breaker bar or torque wrench on it.

Use the Breaker bar to break a barrel nut loose or to try to index the nut for the gas tube. ask them to explain how you dont want to over tighten it!
