    That Hammerhead is a great tool. I've removed at least one castle nut that I can think of with it that I couldn't previously on a couple other wrenches.

    Which reminds me I also have a Starrett spring loaded center punch that does good on staking for the receiver extension nut. I wasn't sure how well it would do when I bought it but I've been quite pleased with the results.

    +1! Can't even tell you how often I use mine, on nearly every project.

    Magna-Tip, Magna-Tip, Magna-Tip! Real lifesaver set that you'll use a lifetime and can build on as you work on more guns.

    Either of these are "generic" bench blocks that work with most weapons. You can also buy blocks designed for specific weapons and tasks. I personally own the top one. It is not the only one I own, but it is a good "general" bench block.

    What class are you taking? One of the best Armorer classes I took was many years at Yavapi Community College taught by the instructors of the College's Gunsmith Program. They taught Smith and Wesson and Colt revolvers and 1911's that week. Another of my favorites was the NRA Precision Rifle Blueprinting coarse taught at Trinidad Community College. Factory Armorer Classes are alright, but, in my opinion, have always left a little something to be desired. So did the Small Arms Repair School at Aberdeen Proving Ground.

    Enjoy your class.

    The course is taught by Bob Chavez. I'm not sure if he's a well known guy, but I hear good things about him from others that have taken his courses. I look forward to the course. I really don't know anything about wrenching on guns so I think this will lay a basic framework for me. Thanks for all the replies guys, they've all been very helpful.
