    Will the upper assembly fit in that PRO MAG tool? If so, it's a vice block for tightening the barrel w/o torquing the upper.

    more of a 3rd hand...

    ""ProMag's AR-15 action blocks are constructed of impact resistant glass filled nylon that will not mar the finish of your receivers. The upper receiver blocks clamps around the receiver, fits flat-top and carry handle uppers. The lower receiver block fits into the magazine well, and is retained by the magazine catch.""

    I have all but the upper vise block since I have not built an upper from scratch yet. I have several stripped uppers in the work cabinet, just looking for the right barrel for the right project!

    I also recommend one of these....

    plan to add one to my ar tools . it would help with those pesky retaining rings on the hand guards [:D]
    also learned to keep some extra springs [:D] it saves time looking for the ones lost misplaced / stored in the carpet and house in various locations [:I]

    Just like a bolt disassembly tool for an M1 Garand: You don't have to have it to get the job done...But it sure makes life a lot easier.

    I'm under the impression the "T THING" is used inside the upper to prevent you from crushing it while using the upper vise block.
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    This removes the delta ring so you can remove the front grips.
    I have one and it made my life easier.
    The end hooks in the mag well, as I remember, and the long prongs grip the delta ring.
