    Just like the title says, I need help installing my AR barrel. I have the barrel at home and my rail with barrel nut is supposed to be here on Monday. I don't have the tools to install the barrel nut nor have I ever done it. Is anyone willing to lend me a hand with installing it?

    I was hoping you were closer to South Bend. I could hook you up. Someone closer should be along shortly.

    I have all of the tools to do it but do you have a bench with a vise? I have all of the materials for my bench [and my vice] but I've not found the time to assemble them :(. It's necessary to hold the upper tight so that you can tighten the barrel nut down like you're supposed to.

    I do have all of the proper tools for full assembly/disassembly of every part of an AR-15 as I've built a couple :).

    I am in Camby next to Mooresville just south of Plainfield so I'm not far from you.
