Well the last part I need for my AR is on the way and I was wondering if anyone in the area of Range 14 had some tools I could borrow for assembly. Not planning on building another gun so I would rather not spend another $100 for tools if I don't have to. Basically looking for a lower/upper receiver block for a vice and a punch set. Thanks in advance.

Still looking for someone who will let me borrow some of their armorers tools for a day. Anyone feeling generous?

I used Allen keys to assemble mine. A hammer rapped in duct tape, a lower rapped in duct sale, pair of needle nose pliers, and a pair of normal pliers, both rapped in duct tape lol if Ur in the ocean county area I can give yah a hand one day

Well I didn't want to go that route but thanks for the tip because I never even thought about using allen keys. I just don't understand why someone wouldn't want to loan out their tools to a complete stranger I would have made it worth their while but I completely understand the sound of crickets in here but figured it was worth a shot. Any tips on securing the upper receiver to tork down the barrel nut without causing damage?

Not close but i have some tools you could use. Nothing to assemble an upper though, just a lower. I didnt have a vice, i used my knees to hold it or my foot with the lower wedged against something (floor/trim). But if i had a buddy to help hold it/give some guidance it would have been MUCH easier.

 

I basically have punches, starter punches, stock wrench and various other tools. Assembled my lower without a problem. Only thing i had trouble with was the screw for the pistol grip, thank god i have a power drill/screwdriver, b/c without a vice to hold the lower, there was no way i could get enough torque by hand to tighten that little flat-head screw.

Unfortunately, you live no where near me...
