Not to mention i have no punches or armorers vice or any of that such that i probably need. i think i have a mallet and a screwdriver, maybe a few wrenches. It seems like every hand guard needs their own proprietary torque-hex-lock-nut-wrench-thing and ill be damned if i know what a butt-stock spanner wrench is (i know what it is im just making a point) . Problem two is most of these quality tools cost money which i admittedly didn't add into my build costs. At this point im thinking it'd be easier and safer to take it to a local smith that i trust and have him turn this pile of parts into a gun. its not like im totally inexperienced with fire arm parts but my glocks and sigs are a far cry from an ar15. Am i overreacting or should i just take it to a smarter more equipped person than i? :(
