AR Styles/Calibers

[dennishoddy]

the CPD magazines are stainless steel which has been teflon coated, D&H mags are steel, ASC sure seem to be steel

Thanks for clearing that up.

the new CPD mags are very good, a little pricey but worth it.

Any experience with ASC steel mags?

 

[lasher]

yes, i have some ASC. i've tweaked all the lips on my mags with the brownell tool. ASC makes a good one

 

[MacFromOK]

Good to know. Thanks.

Another question(s)...

Are there special tools required to assemble/dissassemble an AR15?

I've seen an "armorer's wrench" mentioned a few times, but a google image search turns up several different styles.

Any suggestions for tools or tool kits?

Thanks.

Thanks, but between my health and sweetie's Alzheimer's, we do good to buy groceries locally. Edmond might as well be on the moon.

I do appreciate the offer.

I still have basic tools (including in/lb and ft/lb torque wrenches). A new set of punches probably wouldn't hurt though.

I'll look into the stuff you mentioned. Thanks.
