AR15 tools
Anyone know a good place to look for AR15 tools in the Philadelphia/DELCO/Bucks area? I need a decent spanner wrench to remove a stubborn castle nut, amongst other things. A gas key staking tool would be nice as well....

MOACKS II or Pocket MOACKS for staking the carrier key. It doesn't get much better than these two tools.Warning: I may not read responses to OP before posting

Re: AR15 tools
Be careful when purchasing one of those all-in-one tools. The one I got (can't remember from where for the life of me) didn't work on my castle nut at all because it doesn't fit snug enough and keep coming loose. I got the single-function one from DPMS, but it's too short for me to leverage and now I need a 1/2" drive torque wrench to work it. I'm in Philly. If you have a torque wrench, you can borrow and try mine...or even try the all-in-one as you may have better luck.

Re: AR15 tools
Yeah, it took PMAGs perfectly straight out of the box. The gas key staking leaves much to be desired though.
I'm switching out the sling plate for a Magpul ASAP sling plate, the pistol grip for a MIAD, and the stock for a CTR.
Any issues with yours outside of the mags and vise block?

Re: AR15 tools
Believe it or not, the safety lever broke! I didn't even touch it, just picked up the rifle from the case one day and noticed I couldn't flip the switch. Needless to say, I wasn't happy about it and sent it back to S&W for the 2nd time. They ended up replacing a bunch of internals and gave me a free case.
I was looking at that sling plate too. I don't shoot enough to need it though. I actually added a CTR to mine as well. Be sure to get the mil-spec one for tighter fit. Here mine:
Note that the 20-rd mag is actually a Thermold. It's just freakin' weird that the 20-rd fits, but the 30-rd doesn't.
