My Magpul ACS-L stock. Plus some tools that I had ordered. I am officially on my way to building my AR 
:nana:
Speaking of tools, any of you builders have suggestions on tools that are must have's, I have the non marring hammer, punches, Barrel wrench, and forearm tool, but i am open to anything that may make the job easier.

Buy a set of dental picks. Get the ones that have the little mirror with it.
They are great for cleaning hard to reach areas and are useful for scraping carbon.

make sure you have a good set of roll pin punches. I am completing my build (All I have left is a sling and red dot system) and they are very much needed. Also a good vise block is needed.
I took mine out to the range today for the first time to sight in the BUIS and I was very impressed on how well it shot. It's my first build and it is very rewarding to put the work in and then enjoy the fruits of your labor at the range. Was a very rewarding day

jfuselier, that's why I decided to build, I have numerous guns, but have never built any. I have a set of starret roll pin punches recommended by the author of the book I have for my build. I am undecided about the vise block, which one do you have? do you like them? Also, where are you from? My Brother in law is a fuselier.

I am originally from Eunice but live in Houston now.

I have looked at that one, Currently looking at a set from pro mag. not sure which one I will settle on yet. I know eunice well, used to cruise the strip on a regular basis when I was in high school.

Good choice with the ACS stock. It has the best cheek weld for looking down a scope...

nice one bapple, what upper/lower did you go with?
Posted on 8/19/12 at 4:35 pm to Tony Montana
DPMS 20" Hbar upper from Midway
I was going to build my own lower but I found a good deal and jumped on it. The main thing I wanted was a good trigger because the stock 8 lb trigger on most guns are garbage. They work but they make it much tougher to stay on target with a 12 power scope.
At Precision they had a Rock River National Match assembled lower. It had the NM 2-stage trigger in it and I love it! It has a smooth 1 to 1 1/2 pound break. People have shot my gun and said "man, compared to mine this is like cheating!"
I strongly suggest you put a sweet trigger in it if you're stuck with a stock one. But if it works for you, then keep at it.

I am going with a stripped upper and lower matched set from JP enterprises, so I will be able to put any trigger I want in it. I am going to go with a timminy competion skeletonized trigger with a 3 lb pull. I have read many good things about that trigger, plus I like the way it looks.

I was gonna say the brands I recommend the most are Geiselle, Timney, Jewel, and Rock River.
You should be plenty satisfied with Timney. They make great triggers.
