| tools for the ar build what tools are needed to build a lower. i will buy upper complete so that is not an issue. i did decide to go with anti walk pins, for the fire control group. they look awful, but i have had them walk out. |

| Banned | Honestly? A hammer and a few screwdrivers, thats it. But, a punch set, needle nose pliers, some tape, pivot pin install tool, those will make it easier. I'd also order the spanner wrench if your going to install a collapsible stock. |

| A set of roll pin punches is nice to have, as is a spanner wrench.

| Shouldn't the punch set be brass punches though? To prevent marring the pins all to hell?

| Senior Member  | There is a set of 5 roll pin punches, a screw driver, and the spanner wrench, all the pins go in left to right and come out left to right. The pivot pin detent pin can be tricky, I use a sharp pointed knife.
