The one time I installed a carbine receiver extension I just eyeballed it and got it spot on lol. If I did any sort of regular work I’d certainly get a jig
I'm using a two-vice setup with the Geissele Reaction Block and a magwell block, but I've been wanting one of those new green jigs. Seeing the NcStar Vism (blue) jig – it looks good, too. Can't find either available at this time.
For the couple of ARs I build each year I just use a magwell block. The receiver extension may be a degree or two off but it gets the job done.
Have the NC Star upper block but want the lower block too. Just haven’t been able to find one locally. My magwell block has worked out ok so far.
magwel block and a pistol bench block
Magpul BEV Block.
My NcSTAR VISM lower receiver vice block arrived yesterday. I haven't used it yet but it should make things a bit easier, and not just with the castle nut and receiver extension alignment.
Im looking for barrel nut tool for saint Victor 308. Spring field said that there is not one on the market. They made their own and not for sale can you help. THANKS.
Precision Applications jig…worked like a champ in class. It may not be needed, sort of like those gifted individuals with calibrated arms that don't need a torque wrench, but it sure makes life easier.
"This is currently our favorite ….", Oh, that's nice. Let's see how much that one – WHOA! What the – you can buy a Ruger 1022 for that. Not on sale. This was a poorly chosen price with competition in the marketplace as it is. Now let's just hope NCstar doesn't get a wild hair up their butt and think they're Gisselle too.
My favorite is the Blue one! Because its the prettiest jig ever! 😁
Eyeballs
I have never seen this before and am not sure what it is used for, nor can I figure it out by looking at it.
The NcStar vice block is exactly what I need.
Never knew you needed one.
I'm from the shoulda/woulda/coulda camp and should've bought the Geiselle when there weren't 200 doll hairs.
Have the Kley Zion; it works but it's the least elegant of the selections shown and I had a bit of marring/aluminum transfer while torquing the castle nut.
I've never used a jig installing a receiver extension are they necessary?
The jig I use is from a company called Carbon Polymer Solutions … I'm quite certain it wouldn't suit your needs for the kind of work you do but it does well for me as a home builder. I've been using it for quite a few new years now.
Two vises mounted on unistrut with twist nuts to center them easily. Mag block in one, aluminum angle over the jaws of the other.
Definitely not perfect, but will get really good alignment and is field expedient
So glad I found your channel..all the cool guys aside.the AR is my favorite gun…it's low recoil and perfect for my uses.. everything but whitetail..for that I use a 30-30savage or a slug gun..bless you guys .thanx for the vidio..so c glad I found the channel..🙏❤️👍🙏✌️
