The tools needed to build the lower half of an AR are just ordinary tools such as pin punch set, hammer, small and large pliers, and a special stock wrench if you're building a carbine with collapsible buttstock. There are more tools needed to build the upper half such as action block, armorers multi barrel wrench and a medium or large shop table vise. If you have a flat top upper receiver you could substitute two wooden blocks for the action block tool but you have to be careful not to crush your upper when you tighten the vise. Here's a tacked thread in the Build It Yourself forum with lots of pictures and detailed instructions on how to build an AR rifle.
