IRUNGUNS, do you carry LMT/lowers and complete rifles or Knights Armament lowers? Those would sell like hot cakes...

Look to your front! Mark your target when it comes.
Cheapest pistol kit is 316$, cheapest rifle kit is 341$. Similar kit will be cheaper in pistol version because there's no buttstock.
Most tools you should own if you have a normal toolbox (wrench, punches, hammer, etc) except 2:
1-the barrel extension tool. It's fairly cheap at brownells: https://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-t...prod27452.aspx
2-An armorer's wrench. Typically around 40$.
If you look at the video on brownells page, you'll see a tool in a vise. It's the armorer's wrench.
There's a million other tools that can help like a vise block or an upper vise block. A lot of videos you'll see don't use the barrel extension tool to fix the barrel to the upper, but that's a "wrong" way to do it. When you do that, you apply a lot of torque on the upper with the wrench. When using the torque tool, all the force is applied on the barrel only. The barrel is made of thick steel while the upper is made of thin aluminum, so the barrel can handle a lot more than the upper can.
Thanks for the info Vinny. Much appreciated.

They have complete upper.

Buying tools is annoying if you're gonna build only one AR in your whole life, but otherwise you can amortize the cost over multiple units. Or you can sell them on the EE when you're done. Heck, I would probably be a taker for a once used barrel extension tool at a good price.
The advantage of the tacfire kit over the PSA is that you end up with a rifle that's Optic Ready with free float handguard instead of a delta-ring handguard and a big FSP. At the end of the day, when you're done building the tacfire, the PSA and the Tacfire will be different rifles, and if you have budget for both, there is a place for both in one's safe. If you have only budget for one, the tacfire will definitely end up more expensive after you factor in the price of the tools, especially if you account for the sale of your current lower.
IRG, will you be getting in any more of the kits pictured above?
