Which one works the best . For un/install of barrels and Flashhiders ?

The little rectangle one for $8.50

Or The DPMS style one that has a handle for $30 ?

Seem to do the same thing But does the little one require something additional for obvious leverage?


Headspacing. Is there a tool for this. Or does it take a dummy to screw it up?? (Using an Oly Upper/bolt)

Do I really need the crush ring for the FH (3 prong type)?
Where can I get a good GAS TUBE (not junk) for a 20" barrel?


Lotta questions but I wanna get this thing rollin soon. Already ordered all my M16 Furniture and I'm going to order all the Other tools I need next week .

Think I'll let somebody else snag the barrel for me . Kinda a pre-christmas deal.

Some of you AR wizards around here should be able to shed some light as most internet info has slwoly vanished to the books/videos.

DPMS tool, Bushmaster gas tube, you dont need a washer for hiders that dont need timing (like the 3 prong) but it keeps the flash hider from marring up the park on the barrel and makes for a tighter fit.

It is my understanding that you dont need to check headspacing with new milspec parts. So not having to buy HS gauges should save a few bucks.
