| I'm ordering tools tonight for my first build. Wondering what all I need to get. A buddy of mine said to check out Brownell's and get roll pin punches, files, and vices. I'm just not sure what punches to get and is there a press to go with it? and what kind of files? (Brownells has 3 different kinds of ceramic but I don't know what I need) Thank's y'all. I tried a search but cannot get the search feature to work. Says no results for everything I search. |

Get yourself an armorer's wrench. The Gem State armory one is excellent. I bought one and am very happy.
Buy a set of roll pin punches they work better than regular punches. A small ball peen hammer or brass hammer is good. 8 oz or less. You need a vise. You will want the block that goes in magazine well to hold it in the vise. Get the upper clamshell holder too or better yet a Geiselle reaction rod. If you need files you bought some junk parts or have done something wrong. Never hurts to have a small pick and jeweler's screwdriver set. A set of allen wrenches can be handy to have around. |
