| Ok, I have "several" stripped lowers and parts kits to put them together. Now I need the tools to do so. Any recommendations for all in one tool kits or should I just buy what I need separately? I don't want cheap tools that break easy, and I already have torque wrenches, and other basic tools (ie home and car) that I can use. I will eventually be building the uppers also. I have built bolt action rifles before, chambering, headspacing etc. Thanks for any information. |

Quoted: Yup 1/4" Works awesome Quoted: Quoted: Get a clevis pin from Home Depot/Lowes for the pivot pin installation. Other than that your basic hand tools should work for the lower... Yup 1/4" Works awesome  |

Get a Geissele Reaction Rod ...and the Little Crow Gunworks AR-15 Trigger Guard Roll Pin Pusher I use both all the time and find them invaluable.

I did my first stripped lower yesterday
I second the reaction rod comment best tool ever. The pivot pin detent flew 6 times before I used a small flathead screwdriver to hold it down and then swapped it for the pin. If you're willing to wait get something else for the pivot pin. The guide here mentions a tool and I guess the clevis pin works too. I got a roll pin starter punch set from amazon that billed itself as AR specific, 4 punches and it's been working fine for me very inexpensive |
