tackleberry2000 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'm looking for a list of tools to have on hand for repairing and maintaining my LR308. I have the basic tools just looking for a list of specialized tools now. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tackleberry2000 Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Come on guys. I know quite a few of you do you own builds. I aint the only on who would like just a simple no frills list to know what to have on hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Get the DPMS receiver claw right off the bat, upper and lower. When you work on stuff, have it fixed securely, makes your job 10x easier. Roll pin punches are useful, get yourself a nice set of allen wrenches in a folding style tool. After that, go with whatever tools might be specific to your rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StainTrain Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 PRI Barrel Nut Wrench is a solid unit to have in the tool box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StainTrain Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Yes. Get the gauges. The chance of you ever finding a headspace issue is slim, but those are not odds I would want to play. Cheap face insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tackleberry2000 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks. I'll get the gauges on order next month. Is a field gauge needed or just the go / no go gauges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StainTrain Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I only have the Go/No-Go. I know some people recommend having all three. I am guessing you will be building from scratch so Go/No-Go will meet all your needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tackleberry2000 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Already bought a DPMS AP4 just getting the tools together to fix anything that comes along. I like being prepared. Thanks for all the info so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
