I just purchased a low profile gas block, magpul rear and front sights, and a yankee hill free float barrel. Just wondering if I should let my gunsmith do the installation for $45, or I should just purchase the tools and do it myself.
I have experience removing the muzzle brake, but other than that I have no other tools. Please let me know what tools on midwayusa.com to purchase for the installation.

| You need a reciever block to clamp in a bench vise. A wrench for the barrel nut,I think yankee hill tubes may use their own proprietary wrench but not sure. Also a torque wrench but they are not neccesary in my opinion but if you need one you can rent those locally. A bench vise a buddy sure would have one of those if you do not. If this is for sure the only time you would be doing this I would just pay the 45.00 I think...A decent wrench and clamp would probably cost you a little more. Maybe a member local to you would be able to help you out too...There is probably a place online you can rent tools too. Maybe that would be an option.. |

You need something like this to remove the old barrel nut.
And this to install the free float. A set of punches and a hammer to remove the A2 front sight and an action block and vise. Thats it. |
