I bought the TNA reaction rod though the more research I’ve been doing I’m finding more and more people are suggesting not to use the reaction rods to attach the barrel and that it’s only for working on muzzle devices like flash hiders. Apparently it can overtighten the extension or loosen it and cause issues with the barrel. Are these legitimate concerns? I’ve been having a heck of a time finding any reputable vise block in Canada for the stag 10’s... or is there a barrel vise that won’t scratch up or damage the barrel? I picked up an MRA barrel and want to do this right.

At the risk of sounding stupid, what proprietary parts are required for a Stag 10 build? Is it only the upper and lower? I can't seem to find a clear answer.
The propriety parts are included in a receiver set. The take down, pivot and detent pins are proprietary. The only thing you have to watch for is when you buy handguard that you get a DPMS high handguard.
Whose gas block adjustable did you go with? On a side note I picked up a Triggertech Adaptable that I dying to try out.Also installed my new barrel on my lightweight 308 with a titanium BCG. If anyone uses a light weight BCG, make sure you use an adjustable gas block. All of my AR-10s use an adjustable gas block set at about 80% open, the lightweight BCG's gas block is only about 20% open.
