Question for you gun nuts

Im going to be building an AR and have ordered a few parts.
I have a question as far as assembling the lower receiver. Aside from the castle nut wrench, are there any "special" tools i need to assemble the lower? or can i make do with household tools? Thanks in advance!:clap:

 

vice grips,drill bits and a hammer did the trick for me.

 

What were the drill bits for?
Do i need punches for the pins?

 

i didn't need any drill bits. as long as you got a 100% lower (fully drilled/tapped/cut) then you shouldn't have to drill anything out. a small hammer (ball peen would be best) and vice grips were the only things i needed other than the wrench. never built or played with an AR aside from shooting one, and built mine in probably ~30 mins.

 

My bad, didnt mean to mislead. I used the drill bits to drive pins and center them. Ofcourse it only works with correct size drill bits. Gotta improvise. lol

 

For gosh sakes use a punch and not a drill bit!

 

Worked fine for me. Old bits that i didn't need.

 

Cool you have to remember Cookie's an eastern european redneck with an AK so drill bit, paper clip, soup can could be utilized for repairs
