I'm about the pull the trigger on a larue rail but I want to buy the tools needed to do the job first. Just wanted to check and see if I needed anything else.
1. Heavy duty punch to remove FSB. Do I really need one of those bench blocks? 2. barrel nut wrench. I think I will get this looks heavy duty. Wrench 3. Action block. I was looking at the Spikes Tactical Worx Block. Is this a good buy or should I get the DPMS one? 4. Already have a torque wrench. Anything else I will need or any advise? Thanks a lot. |

2. I would get the DPMS Armorers wrench or similar. It is built very strong and has more uses than just the barrel nut. 3. Those are nice. I have a similiar one made by DPMS and works great. 4. Good. The DPMS Armorers wrench has a space for this also. |

Looks like you have most of it.
I would recomend a set of good punches, a ball peen hammer; small and larger, a small dead blow hammer is nice as well. A good vice, bolt down or clamp on is a must. I would also get/have a 1/2" drive and or a 3/8" rachet or breaker bar (using a torqe wrench to get a nut OFF may not work well). Also a 3/4" wrench for the flash supressor (most all are 3/4" but not every one). Also get a block of some sort, hard wood or a hockey puck to use as a spacer if you need it. I have a huck of sheet plastic I have pin holes drilled in to push out roll pins. I would also pick up a combo tool, DMPS offers one. Just nice to have. |
