I just got my SBR stamp yesterday so it's time to assemble the SBR lower. I've probably put 7 or 8 together in the past but it's been at least
10 years or so. Can one of you experts give me a list of the tools I'm going to need for assembly and any good tips. Thanks in advance. Road Dawg

All you need to assemble a lower is a set of needle nose pilers, some masking tape and a set of roll pin punches. An AR armorer's tool helps when tightening the castle nut on the buffer tube, but it is not necessary.

All you need to assemble a lower is a set of needle nose pilers, some masking tape and a set of roll pin punches. An AR armorer's tool helps when tightening the castle nut on the buffer tube, but it is not necessary. Don't forget a hammer and some LONG allen wrenches for the screw in the grip. You can get just the wrench for tightening the castle nut for around $7 if you don't want to buy the whole armor's tool.
It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

Not required but a pivot pin tool sure makes life easier.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

A lower vice block is great to have as well.
