That's what I have. They're a little shorter than I'd like but they worked well.

The sale hit my email so I thought I would pass it along. I had no clue you could get them that cheap. I wish I knew that when I was buying them. Great lead!

Wow, wish I would've known about those great deals earlier. The set I bought cost me $30.
And as great as Pornhub may be, I'm at a stage of my life where I'd like to have the real thing.

I made my own punch for the bolt release. I don't plan on doing anything high production, and it worked pretty well for me. (Just a piece of stainless with a small counterbore the size of the pin on one end and a small detent on the other)
If you plan to install the barrel, you're going to need an appropriate barrel nut wrench and, a solidly mounted vice, and a torque wrench as well (1/2" drive)

Been nearly a month since the last posting on here and but wanted to give an update since I have now finally completed by first AR-15 build (using a Bullet Guy Lower). Pics are below. Many thanks to everyone who gave me advice and encouragement. It was a bit of a rough slog through the process being a newbie to builds and all but I got through it. Haven't fired it yet (just finished it tonight) but hope to maybe hit the range this weekend maybe or hopefully next weekend. That I suppose will be the real moment of truth.

The first one is like a gateway drug. Good luck at keeping the collection down.

Almost forgot, several folks have asked me if I'm going to build again. To be truthful there was a lot of heartache involved in this build. Spending more money than I care to admit to get special tools that I didn't have before. LOTS of lost springs and bolts. Having roll pins not line up the way they should. Having forward assists freeze in their chambers. Much cursing and gnashing of teeth when things didn't go as planned or as easily as the YouTube videos suggested. Frankly far more frustration than it's worth. The more I thought about it just seemed more practical to purchase a factory one again.
Having said all that, the AR building bug is highly contagious and from what I've been told is not easily cured. Perhaps another specialized Bullet Guy Lower is on order and perhaps another upper is on it's way to completion. See the pic below and you tell me if I'm a hopeless case or not.

I can tell you my second AR took half the time as the first with almost non of the issues I had on the first. I actually did it over coffee one morning before going to a party.
