AR-15 Tools

[Multitaskertools]

How fast do you need one?

Multitasker Tools has one in the works. Not sure though when it goes into full production, but if heavy duty is what you are looking for, this wrench should fit the bill.

it's gonna be a while...too many projects already, plus i want to refine the design some more

Well Shane, I certainly look forward to the day when you have the design refined, and I can do a review on the newly released Multitasker Armorer's Wrench!!!

Cool.

Iraqgunz was just telling me about some of these tools that Ken was showing him recently.

(He didn't get to see the barrel indexing secret either!)

The 6940 barrel nut tool has been added to the bottom of the first post...

If you work on AR-15's with any frequency, you really need a good bench vise. In this case, a CNC machine vise. They aren't cheap but there really isn't anything this vise and set of v-blocks can't do well. The vise of choice for me is a Glacern Machine Tool GSV-550. Besides being made in the USA, a few advantages over a typical shop vise are:

• Lower Height - Less leverage to move your bench around
• Precision Clamping Force - There is no jaw lift to allow fixtures or parts to shift
• Smooth & Parallel Jaws - No need for pads or clam shells to protect your work

Properly fixtured, the vise or v-blocks will leave no trace of their use. I keep a pack of 3X5 cards around if I feel the need to protect painted parts.

Check out the slide show and you'll see all that it can do...

Who made that RE Nut wrench you are using there?

Specialized Armament M4 Stock Wrench

You'll see two versions of the wrench in the slideshow. I machined off the top on one of my wrenches so it can be used while the receiver extension is fixtured.

[Boltgun]

excellent thanks...do you notice any additional flex to the machined one?

Negative... That tool is bomb proof. It's made from 1/4 inch 4140 and heat treated to 40Rc.

would it be ignorant to suggest the DPMS multi-tool? I've built approx 6 AR's including my own and for friends with this tool with no discernable wear to the tool nor slippage on parts. As a multi-tool, I'd say it is "par" for the job. The more detailed tools are sure to be better, but as a seldom used tool, I cant recommend better.

I've been able to completely assemble multiple pieces including barrels, muzzle devices, buffer tubes, etc with this tool. Using receiver blocks in a vice, there have been zero issues.

For the casual builder, I don't think there is anything wrong with the DPMS tool. I've used mine oer the years with no issue. I've migrated to the Brownells tool however.

If you guys from Specialized Armament are still watching this thread, could you please post some pictures of your standard barrel nut wrench?

[lamarbrog]

No mention of the Brownells CAR15/M4 Buttstocks Wrench? Yeah, it's pricey, but worth every penny.

Rifle scope or dot sight, which one is more suitable for AR 15 to hunt deers? I read an article about (spammy link). But I am still confused. If the scope is better, how about this kind of (spammy link)?

[UWone77]

I'm sure you read that article.
