My situation-
As soon as Vltor starts shipping A5 spring/buffer kits I will have every piece I need for my first build (mostly noveske/dd/vltor parts). I have all the tools, punches, blocks, vises, torque wrench, AR wrenches, etc to do the job. I am mechanically inclined (mech engineer with job shop, machining, metal fab background).
My question-
Are there any steps that I should seriously consider leaving to a gunsmith? In particular, staking the castle nut, affixing the barrel? I am completely comfortable with the LPK/TCG assembly, and the external parts (FF handguard, furniture, flash hider). Further, what should I look out for in general?
One last thing- I do not have a heavy bench vise currently. I have a Panavise 301, securely mounted http://www.panavise.com/index.html?p...-eqskudatarq=2. Is this too small for the job?
Thanks in advance.
