Tools for a Stag-10

Check RDSC's website. They usually have items in stock, but they have a fast rotating inventory.
 
Get a receiver extension installed, and since that's a common part with an AR-15 you can then use this vice block from Geissele:

Geissele also makes a Reaction Rod for the AR-10:

As for an armorer's wrench, besides the standard barrel nut tool, most quality rails should come with their own armorers wrench or adapter to a socket set. A regular AR-15 armorers wrench and/or standard shop tools should handle everything else just fine.

The forearm I got doesn’t have a wrench. There lies the problem.

Can’t use a AR-10 barrel nut wrench on a DPMS/SR-25 pattern rifle.

Same kit as the AR-15 works fine? Used the wrench today to move the barrel nut 1/16" - 1/8". Handguard was canted just a bit...drove me nuts after a few weeks. I could see it was off in my 1-4x24 scope.

All the basic tools, punches, hammer, wrench, etc., worked for my Stag-10.

I ain’t spending that kind of money for a one or possibly two time job, lol

reaction rods are a poor choice for anything other than torquing muzzle devices. You're putting an incredible amount of force on the tiny little indexing pin and the aluminum slot on the barrel threads when torquing a barrel nut.

I bought these: https://www.plastixrevolution.net/products/223-ar-15-308-ar-10-upper-receiver-vise-block

can't beat the clamping area on the blocks.

That’s what I have been thinking. Looks like a good tool in theory.

I’m going for the Wheeler vice block as it’s available on sale. Sucks the pins won’t fit the Stag so shims to the rescue.

Was your Stag10 a factory build .308? I tried a Wheeler wrench and it didn’t fit.

Looks like tools are getting thin and I haven’t found a solid answer of what AR15 wrench will work. Some sources say they don’t work. Some say you need a larger AR308 one... but then someone says that AR308 specific one didn’t work and they used a AR-15. Lol
