    I never realized how handy a reaction rod could be.

      Me neither until getting this one a few years back. Way more useful than a standard receiver block.

    Thank You Sir! I purchased the Magpul BEV block recently. It combines the reaction rod and mag block. Last year I purchased the Borka Torque Driver Combo. It has a wide torque range and works well on scope rings etc. 👍🇺🇸 #22aday

      Oh man, I got this one not too long ago…. Can’t believe I went so long without one. Highly recommend snagging one. This is a cheap one that cost maybe $20 if I remember correctly.

    Don't forget a BAH. I have a full armorer's kit I got as a Christmas present years ago. They are a definite Must if you have firearms. 👍🏻

      @ChristianGrest  3 роки тому +1

      I figured a BAH was a no brainer 😃 Have plenty of those laying around. I’ve looked at some of the armorers kits, but I already have the majority they include. Took me many years, but I buy tools fairly often, when needed.

    Dang, you're way better equiped then I am lol! For my next build I'm driving out to your place 😂 Some of this I have, and some I need. The gas block jig for starting that roll pin looks like it would save me a ton of stress and anguish! The Fat Wrench is pretty much a must have imo, I've used that thing too many times. Great video Christian, oh how I've missed watching them lol!

    That go gauge is the wrong size at 1.4636..That is a 223 commercial go gauge.. The correct 5.56 NATO go gauge is 1.4646.. Unfortunately, many companies will mark the 1.4636 223 commercial go gauge as a 5.56 NATO go gauge..The 223 Wylde should use the same 1.4646 go gauge as the 5.56 NATO..
