AR 15 Armorer’s Course

[LRRPF52]

******************PROFESSIONAL LIST****************
-Brownells Apron or similar Apron
A good Apron is a must for a professional Armorer or Gunsmith.
-Hawkeye Bore Scope
This is for Barrel Inspection, Bolt Carrier Inspection, Suppressor and Muzzle Device Inspection, but most of all it's great for aligning Gas Blocks. The Lyman Bore Scope is MUCH more affordable, but it's not as clear and may not work well for Gas Block Alignment. I will be testing a very cheap alternative soon and if it works, I'll update this post.
-Saturn Barrel Blocks
They grab like no other Barrel Blocks.
-.625 & .750 SLR or BRDE Barrel Dimple Jig
For Dimpling Barrels for Gas Block Set Screws. I recommend a drill bit collar and carbide bits to use these Jigs. A Drill Press or Mill is best but you can use a Hand Drill.
