Sorry if this has been asked a million times, I searched but couldn't find anything.

I just picked up a DPMS lower and have ordered a Del-Ton M4 kit w/ chromelined barrel.  I want to be ready for when it arrives so I am trying to figure out what tools I need.  Does the Del-Ton kit come with the upper already assembled or am I going to have to assemble it?

Also, in the "Assemble" guide at the top of the forum it says that you need a small brass punch.  Does it need to be brass or will a steal one work?

Thanks in advance.

I have never bought a DELTON Kit but I would bet that it will come assembled and testfired and headspaced already, most other due,

as for the punch, it does not have to be brass, brass is softer and will not do as much damgae as a steel one, For the lower, I would higly recomend buying a set of roll pin punches, they will make the job alot easier, If ya need anything else just ask

All you really need is  a Spanner Wrench , I used metal punches, screw driver, some clp.

What sort of Spanner Wrench do I need.

Also what brands/suppliers does everyone recommend for magazines.  I already ordered a few of these www.cdnninvestments.com/ar230pastmag.html

The Del-ton Upper will come assembled- -clean it, then push the pins in and go shoot.

The spanner will be for tightening the nut on the buffer tube that holds the 6-position stock in place.  I bought a DPMS Universal Tool, and have only used it for the one collapseable stock i've installed so far.  There is a cheaper tool for just installing that nut, but Del-ton don't list it.
