I'm looking to build my first AR-15 upper assembly. I have built a few lowers before, but now am 'branching out'. I am looking for a recommendation on a decent (yet cheaper is always better) upper receiver vice block and barrel wrench. There is so much of this stuff out there for Ars and I have no idea what is junk and what is not.

Thanks
Justin

This is the block set I use,it works great.I would recommend an open mouth barrel wrench if you have a standard FSB though,so you can use it without removing the base.

I bought the same set a couple years ago. I finally got around to using it last week. It works fine. I also bought the DPMS wrench, it had the most stars in reviews.
