I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times, but I’m building my first AR and I’m looking for a local place to pick up the tools to put it together. So far I’ve got a stripped lower; with a bolt carrier group and lower parts kit on the way.
I don’t have a work bench and I have ZERO gunsmithing tools outside of a standard cleaning kit and some pliers. I know I need punches and a castle nut wrench, but I need specifics. School me on a full list of tools I need to put this together. I’d like to get everything locally (Indy) so I can get started on the lower when the LPK gets here.
Can I go to my LGS, Gander Mountain, other?
Are there specific brands I should look for?
Do I need a vice and a block, and or can I do this all on the dining room table?
What other basic gunsmithing tools would serve me well across other rifle and handgun platforms? (From Mosin-Nagant and 10-22, to Glock and Colt Revolver)
Thanks.
