Midwest reaction rod is better than the G$ one. I personally just use a couple 1x4's, one being cut to fit in between the upper lugs. If I was gonna get a handguard that needed to be timed, I'd probably get something like the Midwest tool. I have a bev block for the lower, but I don't use it a ton.

I’m gonna order that polymer solutions jig. I’ve been looking for something just like that. Another good tool is the ncstar Vism ar15 lower receiver vise block. Helps keep the receiver extension perfectly straight.

I thought about getting one, but looking at the 5 different receivers that I've either built or changed end plates on, I really didn't even notice anything off about them to warrant me getting it

@@regulardudegungearreviewsh3132 I’ve built 4-5 lowers. On 2 of them the receiver extension is slightly canted and 1 is almost perfect. So I decided to get it just so I don’t have to worry about it anymore. Idk what I was doing wrong but it’s not real noticeable unless you look for it

Are they really needed though? I typically build AR-15s with a hammer, a flathead screwdriver, pliers and a 2" piece of wire hanger. I do not bother torquing to spec, I torque until I'm comfortable with how tight they are, which is tighter than spec.. because if a bolt can ever be removed, it wasn't tight enough. To double down on that on parts that have exposed threading, such as on the buffer tube, I fuckup the threading (with the hammer and screwdriver) after I'm comfortable with the castle nut tightness, because I don't ever want it to be removed. I have guns that I have put 2500+ rounds through them that are capable of sub-MOA accuracy with match ammo. I really should have a go/nogo gauge, but that's another story.

I also use red loctite on scope mounts, once I'm happy that the scope is perfectly vertical, as tested with a plumb bob at 50 yards compared to the scope level (which I mount on all my scopes). I can always remove the mount from the scope with a dremel by cutting the screws in half if I ever wanted to remove them.
