Thanks guys. I know I should have not dove into this head first lol
If you're going to be building a few AR's I would go ahead and get the right tools. If not, find a competent gunsmith and just have him do it.
I found a reputable local 'smith to do the upper work on mine and he is charging me $75 to remove a barrel from my upper, install a new barrel, install gas block, install/pin/weld a battlecomp, install new barrel nut and FF handguard. I could have purchased a few tools but for the same price I can take it to a gunsmith and have the stuff installed.
I usually like to do things myself, that way I know it is done right, but if I can sublet some of it, pay less, and not have to put up with some frustration, I think it is worth it to pay someone to do it.
