You're probably right but you can buy a basic torque wrench for about $30. Every man should have one in his garage.jb2012 wrote:The vice is pretty necessary. The torque wrench- eh some people are going to tell you yes, some aren't. I'm a fairly large guy and when I tighten barrel nuts I get it about as tight as I want it (which is pretty tight, but not break threads tight) and then match the next hole in line for the buffer tube. That process hasn't let me down yet. That being said I haven't put anything super expensive together either. If I was putting some pricy parts in a noveske matching receiver set with a real nice barrel I might torque it.

Everything you need except the stripped lower. The upper is already assembled so you can complete it with tools laying around your house.
