AR-15 Maintenance Stand
i can't take credit for this list. it was given to me a couple months back by another arfcommer. i copied it into a word document so i could save it... glad it did.
hope this helps.

ETA - this is a general group of tools for building the majority of units in the AR platform. i wish i could remember who posted it on a thread where i asked the same question as you in order to give him credit. it IS a great list. i would suspect that the tools listed here will do the trick on almost all the builds you will encounter.
i asked for the information because i didn't want to buy the "super armorer's kit" for $1000.00... having some of these items already, this list was a no brainer. i substituted a little here and there, but after i picked up this stuff, what i have used from it has worked well.
