Just figuring it'd be interesting to see what everyone is using..

1. DPMS Multi-use AR wrench
2. Brass Punch set
3. Rubber mallet
4. Gerber Tool
5. Various sized hex and star head wrenches (the little L shaped ones)
6. BFH and BFW as appropriate

- A can of BreakFree CLP
- A bag of Tostitos
- Some old Victoria's Secret catalogs (much better than a old tablecloth)
- My XD (in case the AR starts to get silly with me)
- A jig welder
- A small collection of porcelain Buddhas (to cheer me on)

Hopefully I'll only need some CLP if my M6A2 ever gets here.

and a upper vice block

jig welder ???????

I use mig or stick, wish I had access to a Tig @ work also....would make those pin and weld jobs easier

I only screw around with the lowers. I dont fool around with bbls and gas blocks etc. I buy my uppers complete, so all i need is a punch, hex, detent tool, mallet, and a stock wrench.

Wussy

I am diving into the world of removing my FSP to put in a gas block so we'll see how much damage I do.

Maybe I should teach my wife how to shoot my AR.

hmmmmmm

- 1 Gallon ZipLock bag, when working with pins under spring pressure.
- Hemostats work well for holding those little pins, too.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the can of BreakFree CLP. No one needs to know that.
