I am looking for something like the brownells critical tool kit, Brownells is out of stock and I am impatient. I checked most of the Dealers here, can anybody recomend a place I can buy now?


Thanks
 
I did a thread search and came up snake eyes, I am hoping for a kit with the vise blocks and punches and armours tool. This damn ar shortage is making me angry!!!
 
I have yet to find a Canadian dealer that deals in all the specialized tools such as the punches. OST carries armourer's wrenches. I'm not sure who, if anyone is carrying vice blocks.

Have you tried seeing if you can get just the items individually from Brownell's? Maybe they are out of the pre-packaged kits but not the component tools that make up the kit.
 
Ya I can get them individual but its like twice the cost! Might have to bite the bullet and just buy a pmag and use that for the lower build. I have seen people use it as a kind of lower vice block.

Another sponsor, Hical has a Clamshell vise + armourer's wrench kit. I just got one. It's decent.

I saw the one at Hi Cal and noticed that it doesn't have the bolt carrier insert.

All the video's online that I saw said that it's a "must". Is it truly a "must" or just don't crank the snot out of the vice block and be careful about it?

You don't need special tools to assemble a lower. I personally made my last one without specific AR15 tools. Just tools from the toolbox......

And that's the pure beauty of working with AR rifles versus the M14 rifle platform that needs specialized tools for the tweaking process.

Have at 'er. Let us know how the build went/goes.

So are you saying I don't need a upper receiver vice block or I don't need a lower receiver vice block or I don't need both? (sorry, I'm missing something in translation)

Exactly

It can be easier with specific tools, but they are not essential. The only tool I bought was the castle nut wrench(12$). If you have standard tools(including punch set) at home, you are able to build your AR15.
 
Awesome, Thank you for your reply.

I was starting to get worried about having to spend another $100 on a vice block set (I just wished that Princess Auto sold them--lol).
