What will I need to replace the standard for end with a DD Lite-rail? I understand I will need to remove the barrel and Delta Ring but is there a simple procedure to follow and tools needs. Also will I need a headspace gauge and new gas tube. Thanks.

First, read this tacked thread.

You will need:
Armorer's wrench
Upper receiver block
Bench vise
Daniel Defense Lite barrel nut wrench
1/2" drive torque wrench
Punches
Allen wrenches

You should not need a new gas tube, unless you mess it up some how. You also shouldn't need headspace gauges.

You will need:
Armorer's wrench .. AIM has them and shipping is cheap
Upper receiver block .. If you have a flat top this one is the best
Bench vise .. A small $25 one from Home Depot will do
Daniel Defense Lite barrel nut wrench This one works for the DD lite nut and castle nuts (Great wrench)
1/2" drive torque wrench
Punches .. Make sure to get "roll pin punches" for the roll pins (gas tube pin) drift pin punches for the FSB pins
Allen wrenches .. Ball end Allen wrenches make life easier

You should not need a new gas tube, unless you mess it up some how. You also shouldn't need headspace gauges.
