I just finished my first build and I didn't use a vice or punch kit. You'll get it with no trouble. It might take a little more time but that's it. Biggest trouble I had believe it or not was putting in the front takedown pin... gotta have patience.

Same here. And yes the front takedown is a PITA

The Wheeler tool (or equivalent) made it almost easy - not completely easy, but compared to the horror stories of E/R visits ("You'll put your eye out"
) and other mishaps, with Mrs. Midnight's help, that was the fastest part of the lower build. I had more trouble with the buffer retention pin and spring and to hell with that damned bolt catch - I bought one of the German made hand vises for the future.
