Anyone know who has these in stock? Used my Google fu but no luck...... anyone anyone? Thanks

I took a quick look and didn't find one. However Brownell's has their version in stock, and as a bonus, it's 50 dollars less.

I show it IN stock at Brownell.

On my way do they call it something other than a Reaction Rod?

Just follow Topher's link

AR-15/M16 Barrel Extension Torque Tool

$49.99

Thanks guys.I found it. Thats alot cheaper than the Geisseille one... But I still spent 200. On other stuff.....lol. thanks again....

Just be aware that the brownells version does not have flats on it. I welded it to a piece of square bar stock so I can grab it in a vise.

Unfortunally I really wanted a Geissiele but when I emailed them they couldnt give me a time frame when new production would start so I had to settle for the Brownells model... worst case senerio I will do what you did or just grind the flats . I will have to wait and see what it looks like... thanks for tbe reply though... this wouldnt happen to be Mark would it?

I have the Geissele. Its a great tool.

Shane45 does it work better than tbe clamshell and bar type that uses the upper lugs? Iam doing a lite weight build with a A2 Armament upper and lower and I dont want to put alot of stress on the upper wben torquring the barrel nut....

If you decide you don't like the rod from brownells, I'll buy it from you -- been thinking about getting one myself

 

Only downside I can see is if it doesn't fit through the upper receiver -- I've been reading that it might be a little tight on certain brand uppers

Heavyopp... well I will let you know in a few hours UPS has it on the truck and I should be getting it sometime this afternoon...

So...  initial thoughts?

The brownells tool is all we use at our shop. You have to put flats on it or weld it to square stock. I've taken barrel nuts off that have broken those polymer upper holders.

Heavyopp... looks like a good soild tool... iam going to use it on this new build and will let you know... Tier One .I see what you mean about grinding the flats or welding some square stock to mount in a vise....thanks all who responded....

Kimber -- I can help out with the welder if you need -- I have a few...

Cool thanks for the offer... got any square stock?

I think your close to me so if you need to borrow it just let me know..

I'm sure we could find something --  let me look around my piles  -- Even just a piece of 1/2 plate welded to the bottom would give the vice something to grab -- I have plenty of 1/2 plate

 

And we are close -- probably 15 minutes 

Awesome..... just let me know what you find... thanks

I was browsing MidwayUSA the other night and I saw it.

Why don't you like it?  

Its a bit short and it dosent have the flats so you reallg have to tighten it down in the vise... I mean its no big deal.. it works fine

I'll tell you what --  I have an upper that I want to put together -- Let me borrow it and I'll weld something to it to make it easier 

 

Not sure what I'll use -- Need to see it 1st 

 

PM your schedule this week -- Can run over one evening -- I believe you're in somerset -- I'm in Middlesex, a few minutes from the victory bridge
