Just joined the AR club and bought a msr15.

Finally joined the ar club. I just bought a savage arms msr15 recon and I need to get sorted out with tools to take this thing apart and keep it tidy and clean. There are a lot of options for tools but thought I'd get a few opinions on what's good to start with and what to look out for. I've done a few searches already but I'm a bit overwhelmed haha.

Cheers!
I appreciate the help.

If you're just taking it apart for cleaning, should be tool-less, you just need a cleaning kit.

If you're going further and removing the barrel or anything, then it depends on the job what you'll need. A reaction rod and barrel wrench gets you a long way, as does a set of punches and a hammer.

A 556 cartridge can help take it apart. Sight tool maybe.

I'm thinking more just cleaning and maintenance for now. Good to know that I don't need anything else then a cleaning kit for now

Welcome aboard! Be careful though these are addictive lol

Field stripping for cleaning is easy, no tools needed. There are lots of YouTube videos out there on disassembly/cleaning/reassembly

Enjoy the new toy!
