| Hey guys. I cureently have 5 ar-15's all colts iwth two bushy m-4's on the way. I am wanting to do two buildups just for fun and am wondering what the best tools are out there for assembly and maintence. What do you guys consider to be "do-without" tools or fixtures and waht brands up upper holders, lower holders, barrel wrenches,etc. do you prefer and why. I am starting with nothing but a really good set of hollow ground screwdrives in a set of 8. Let me know what is in YOUR TOOLBOX!! |

I Don't use Lower Holders for anything...YMMV For an upper I use Peace river blocks or DPMS vise blocks or both depending on Circumstance. Barrel Wrenches I use a J&T Multitool or a GI barrel wrench... because I have them. Torque wrenches seldom use them but I have them... drift punches I have had for years... Ball Peen hammer I have also Had for years... |

You NEED a good vise, for sure. You NEED a good set of punches; for FSB work, you want quality. You NEED a good barrel wrench; I use a DPMS armorer's wrench The usual screwdrivers, hammers, allen wrenches (common tools) You can do all AR service and assembly with the above. Things that are nice: Action block, torque wrench, dedicated collapsible stock wrench |
