If you’ve never tackled an AR build before, let us assure you that it isn’t rocket science. There are a few necessary tools and a few tools that are just nice to have, all of which can be found in the new-for-2019 Real Avid AR-15 Armorer’s Master Kit. We recently used the AR-15 Armorer’s Master Kit ($249.99) to put together our Aero Precision “Mr. General Utility” ground-up AR build (see it at www.ontargetmagazine.com) and it contained all of the tools necessary to bring it from a pile of parts to complete working rifle. Also included is a step-by-step “how-to” manual for you to confidently tackle building your own gun or modifying an existing gun. Certain aspects of an AR build can be tricky and every included tool is carefully designed to make each job as simple and easy to execute as possible. Housed in a polymer hard case with recesses for every tool, the tools include an armorer’s master wrench with replacement hammer head, a Lug-Lok upper receiver vise block, a Smart-Fit lower receiver vise block, and AR-15 master bench lock, torque wrench, Easy-Grip handguard tool, pivot pin tool, pivot lock, complete pin punch set, pin alignment tool, Accu-Grip picks, a combination bore illuminator/empty chamber flag and a front sight adjuster tool. If purchased separately, this collection of tolls would cost at least twice the price of the Armorer’s Master Kit. We won’t be without it from here on out.
