i have those, i will try w/o special tools first thanks

i'd at least spring for $20ish for the armorer's wrench, hard to get enough torque on the castle nut to lock it down otherwise: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Barrel-Wren...-/132529070793

yeh there are youtube videos that do it without special tools, but if you plan on making a couple it's worth it lol.

Do yourself a favor and pick up a punch at Harbor Freight.

You could get by with a $5 Buffer tube spanner wrench for the castle nut.
Tools like the small vise and 1/16" punch do make the job easier but you can build the lower w/o them. There is a good chance you will scratch up the lower if you go without some of the right tools. If it's for a beater rifle, it probably doesn't matter. If you want to do a very nice, professional looking job, having the right tools is important.
PS-I've used a wooden block in the magazine slot (locked in small vise) to hold the lower in place.
