re: Official AR-15 thread

Having recently finished my first lower build and buying just about everything on your list I'd only repurchase the roll pin punches (regular punches will work but I think the roll pin punches make the job MUCH easier) and starters, decent non marring hammer, castle nut wrench, and the cool looking cleaning assembly pad The vise block just didn't seem to work for me, I was never in a good position to do what I wanted and ended up just holding the lower or resting it on the mat. The other specialty tools were useful but definitely not needed unless you just like buying tools, like I do.
