AR Tool Suggestions?

[MizzouChE2006]

Hello all. I will be new to AR ownership sometime next week when my rifle arrives. I am currently trying to compile a list of good tools that I will need to perform maintenance on my AR. I plan on getting a good book to read on the subject and am mechanically inclined with an engineer's mind. I know I am looking for a front sight pin adjustment tool so I can dial in the elevation, but I'm not sure if I will need any type of tool to adjust the windage of my rear MBUS. I also see the need to have a wrench for barrel and buffer tube nut removal. All useful AR tool suggestions would be appreciated.

Here are few questions I currently have:

1. Are all standard triangular front sight posts the same, or will I have to identify which type mine is to buy a tool for making adjustments?

2. What is a good barrel and buffer tube nut combo wrench?

3. Can anyone point me to a good upper and lower clamping block that can be installed in a vise to hold both the upper and lower separately if needed for maintenance and upgrade activities?

Thanks,

#2 DPMS multi tool has FF and standard barrel nut wrench points, comp wrench, torque wrench and something else

brownells/midway for the vise blocks.

you don't need a tool for the front sight post its cleverly bullet sized.

the magpul should have come with its own tool, its less easy but it too is bullet sized.

I've got one from Palmetto State Armory and it's a very well made piece. Covers just about every fastener on the AR.

If my computer stops screwing up on me, I'll find the link.....
