A punch set and a castle nut wrench is all I've ever used. And even the wrench is not totally needed (well worth the money though).

And just tape the shite out of the lower. It won't get dinged then.

Quick progress update and a question:

So far I have the Anderson stripped lower and received my roll pin punches. I am still waiting on my armorer's wrench to come in.

I have also ordered my LPK from PSA:

And a Magpul collapsible stock kit:

My original plan was to purchase this 16" mid-length barreled upper assembly complete with BCG and charge handle:

But the more I read and look at pictures, the more I'm really liking the 14.5" or 14.7 length with the pinned flash hider. The issue is, the only complete upper assembly that PSA currently has in this length is about $150 more than the 16" kit I posted above:

Would you all know of any other companies that would be worth checking out besides PSA that would be around the same price range and quality? Or do you think it would be worth putting a phone call into PSA to find out if they can put a kit together similar to the price range of the 16"? Are shorter barrels typically more expensive? Or could it be more expensive due to the labor required for pinning the flash hider?
