Vise blocks

[SksA1]

Do i really need a vise block to assemble my upper and lower?

And if so where to find them? Instock...

If not whats the best way to get the barrel nut torqued on?

It sure is a good thing to have. Contact Brownells, they have them on sale right now.
Regards.

I didn't have one when I built my AR, didn't really have a problem but I'll buy one eventually.

Its the way to install the barrel nut and not damage the upper receiver from clamping force.

i used the clamp style blocks where they hold the upper and you put it in to a vice. i used C-clamps cuz i dont have a shop but it works well if you can secure it.

I suppose you don't need a vice block, but you greatly incease the chaces of crushing your receiver or completely destroying your finish. The blocks are cheap and easy to make for people with time on their hands, but are also easy to purchase from Brownells in a package with everything else you need to pull apart or build ARs (no export permit required).

I paid about $100 for the "critical tools kit" from Brownells. What a great buy that has proven to be. I can see how you could get by without the vise blocks but with them it is so quick, easy and you don't need to worry about marking your rifle. The right tools really do make the job so much easier.

Barrel blocks are cheaper and accomplish the same thing. Some prefer them when removing stubborn flash hiders since this puts no torque on the receiver.

Me too.

Call Alberta tactical Rifle in Calgary.

They have a bar from brownells that slides through the upper and engages directly into the locking lugs. Zero pressure on the upper rec'r.

This. Blocks that clamp on the barrel should be used for removing flash hiders/muzzle brakes. Do not rely on the receiver or barrel extension to resist the torque.

It's not essential, but help a lot.

It's always easier when you get the right tools.
