[ARCHIVED THREAD] - tool for installing a fixed buttstock

Posted: 1/9/2009 6:21:13 PM EDT

I just ordered a complete a2 buttstock assembly to attach to my stripped lower, and I am wanting to know what tool or tools I need to install it. I know the brownells GI combination wrench would be best, but $36 is a bit much for a one time use.

Does anyone know of another tool that can take its place or where I can find one for cheaper?

Yep, C wrench for the tube and a flat screwdriver for the stock screw. No $36 tool needed.

Good, I was hoping that it wouldn't be necessary to by any combination tools. I figured a wrench like that would work on the extension tube, but I just wanted to make sure before my stuff arrives and I can't attach it.
