Does anyone know of local bay area shops that carry upper assy vise blocks
or various other assy tools in stock, or does it all have to be ordered online.

any help would be great

I hope to hear more about what you find. I like to see tools in real life when possible. Most pictures on websites are lacking, even so I like to see if they look like they're disposable.

The tools Brownells sells tends to be of decent quality. I know many dealers who buy most of their AR tools from Brownells and use them in their daily operation to install various items for customers.

Well I looked and called and found nothing lots of people that were willing to help or do it for me (thanks all) but I wanted to do this on my own with my own tools.

So brownells got my money

Someone needs to open a shop or talk to a shop owner and get them to carry items like this even if only 1 each.

I'm in the same boat man. I'll be getting a barrel assembly but I don't even have a vice to hold the action block. I'd like to buy some tools for the future builds.

It would help if I had access to a vice and the tools to tighten a barrel nut. Really disappointed that I can't get this thing put together.

So I ordered all the tools to do the upper from brownells, man taking it apart and installing the new parts was a snap.
If anyone local to my area is in need let me know I would gladly stop by and help.

I might take you up on that. It's a drive for me but I don't have the tools anymore. Bought a barrel then moved away from the tools I had access to. Simple tightening of the barrel nut on the upper when it comes in. Should be here today.

I carry armorer's blocks. Free ship over $50.

If there is a Harbor Freight tools around you, you can pick up a decent vise and torque wrench from them for reasonably cheap (as well as other stuff, gloves, punches, hammers, etc.)
