[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1418362, member: 10178"] Thanks Mudrunner. I ordered some Aroshell (Sp?) mil-speck lube for the barrel nut when I ordered the parts. I have a inch pound wrench and will be picking up a foot pound from Harborfreight tomorrow. They have them on sale and I have a 20% off coupon. Thanks for the offer to give guidance in my build. I have already done a lot of research and watched numerous YouTube videos. I have already built a few lowers and done a good deal of gunsmith work over the past 40 or so years. It is also in my family line that if we can find someone to show us how to do most anything or get the information from a book etc. we can do it. As with most anything having the right tools is 90% of any job so I have either made or are in the process of getting what I need to do the job. Just this past Friday I made a lower front hinge pin detent installing tool and it works great. I had already made me a mag well holding block from a piece of composite decking material that works great. I ordered one of the clam shell upper vice holding blocks but I have a plan in my mind of how to make one of the upper holding blocks that you place pins through the front and rear hinge pin parts of the upper and place in a vice just to hold the upper steady while installing the dust cover and forward assist.
