Stuff I think I'll need... I'm excluding sights and accessories as I'm not worried about them - I'll figure that stuff out after. I'm listing things that I think I'll need to assemble a functional upper that can feed and fire rounds. What am I missing?
Parts
- Barrel
- Barrel Nut
- Barrel Nut Shims
- Bolt Carrier Group
- Ejection Port Cover
- Forward Assist and Spring (assuming that I choose an upper receiver that needs one)
- Gas Block (adjustable - with pin)
- Gas Tube
- Handguard
- Muzzle Device
- Upper Receiver (bare)
- AR-15 Upper Lapping Tool (I get that this is not "required" but I figure if I'm going to do it I might as well do it right)
- AR-15 Armorer's tool - for the muzzle device and who knows what else
- Barrel Nut Wrench (specific to the type of nut that I'll use - might get fancy - not sure)
- Basic Bench Block
- Bench Vice
- Feeler gauges (to gap the gas block)
- Mallet / Hammer (to set the pin for the gas tube / block)
- Punch Set (for use with the mallet above)
- Torque Wrench (to torque the barrel nut - standard homeowner quality click type torque-wrench will do - yes?)
- Upper Receiver Vice Block
- Blue Locktite
- Gun Grease
