I have the Wheeler AR15 one.
I use a reaction rod as the industry calls it.
I made my own.
It's 17" long 1.180" in dia or 30 mm with a vise flat milled, and diameter turned down and milled to fit the barrel extension.
The upper reciever slides over the rod and locks into the barrel extension.
Or for indexing to get at handguard screws, etc.
An excellent tool for working on ARs use the 1" dia steel for the AR 15.
I do all the work on the Bridgeport milling table, as seen here.

What's he supposed to do with that information? You think he's going to make his own? Clearly he's looking for something to buy. Your post informs nothing, just another weird science project out a 45-90s garage where everything is a boast.
You can get this from Squirrel Daddy gunsmith tools for around $26 including shipping. They can be modified to also work with an AR-15 with some basic machine work.
ETA: If you're going to use this type of product, sandwich the upper in the vise. Do not position the upper vertically with vise only clamping the fixture, which will put all the stress on the pivot/takedown lugs.

Midwest Industries and Geissele sell versions. The rod needs a vertical flag to prevent the receiver from twisting against the barrel extension pin.
You can buy one...or build one.
He, or anyone else may choose to build one, if someone shows him what to do, & how it works, or... some people have relatives and friends to help them out, who have access to the needed tools.
I do lots of projects for friends, and relatives, free of charge, most are hobbies like off road vehicles or motorcycles.
I spend many hours helping on their projects.
Some people like to learn and enjoy building it themselves, or with the help of others, learn to overcome obstacles. And gain more experience and knowledge as the work on their hobbies or other endeavors. So one never knows where others will take what they learn...maybe start a business, be a world class shooter.
It's how we learn and grow as a species is sharing ideas and information.
No such thing as too much information on any subject, a starting builder, may become your next Hornady Manufacturing Company.
Ya, If I was in the market for an assembly tool I would buy a reaction rod. I think it is the better way to go.
Maybe I misunderstood your post, but do you have a link for the Geissele AR-10/308 RR with a vertical flag/fin? As far as I know, they only offer the Super Reaction Rod for AR-15s, which uses anti-rotation lugs that lock into the ejection port.
No. Geissele and MI sell versions of 45-70's rod. MI is the only one of the two with the vertical flag.
I disagree on that. Superior to a clam shell for sure, but not a MI Reaction rod. The Midwest Rod with the sail on top locks the upper alignment with the extension lugs. This prevents any possible shear on the extension pin when torquing the barrel nut. Also very handy when mounting & leveling a scope.
JP vise blocks provide the same support and work for both platforms. I like the MI rod, the JP blocks are better if you have an AR15 and AR10.
I mean according to JP, they build their rifles in house with these blocks.
Whether you clamp to the receiver or the barrel extension, if you don't secure the two together you will subject the barrel extension pin and receiver slot to twisting force. You can rip out pin and/or deform the receiver slot.
The pin is usually in danger when the pin wasn't installed correctly by the barrel manufacturer. You normally find that out when you're torquing the barrel nut while clamping or pinning the receiver. Mostly the receiver slot just deforms.
Anyone on the fence here you go. Clearance deal at Midway now.

If there is something wrong with the bipod please let me know. This is how i got it directly from HK. I am no collector at all, the rifle will be shot until it falls apart
You cant move it further forward, asked HK and they told me they did that due to impact shifts during testing.

Sick. How does it shoot?View attachment 8410642

Will be testing her in about 2 weeks i guess. Waiting for ammunition. Will post a few pics, V0 and targets to let you guys know.
I am a bolt action guy so this is going to be interesting. First impression: very well made, cheek riser fits perfectly concerning height. If i raise my head slightly i have a perfect view through the T1. Perfectly centered behind the optic, was a bit concerned since i prefer the edgy TRG cheek rest.
The PMII is out of this world as expected.
Weight is heavy even for me although im used to TRGs and AIs.
HK will burn in hell though for the trigger installed. Will need lots of dry fire to get used to that. And i am used to 1-2kg triggers.
So far...
Wow. What did that run you?If there is something wrong with the bipod please let me know. This is how i got it directly from HK. I am no collector at all, the rifle will be shot until it falls apart

The Set is up to almost 15k in germany without suppressor. Got it for around 11k including the suppressor. Would not pay the price asked these days. Not worth 15k imho.

That H&K is both the coolest and ugliest rifle around.
I ordered one of these,

Seems to have some good reviews. SA gas block also on the way and I should be good to go.

Hey, no, no CO2. Just a few plant and Shrimps. Everything runs fine, just growing a bit slower!
The reticle is a patent of H&K. Yes i am from germany. Thats why i am restricted to 10 round mags....working on papers for 20-30 round mags though.
I genuinely didn't know that about this rifle. That seems like a pretty dumb design. Do you know why HK designed it like this?
Its due to a zero shift when you mount it further forward. Thats why there is no rail at all in that area of the handguard.

I hope you bought the 18".
I didnt know Germans could own those guns. Adds to my jealousy!!!!
Government currently tries to ban semiautomatic rifles, not sure if they manage to do that though. Thats why i thought now or never.
Promised myself I was done building any more AR’s for a while, but couldn’t resist a great deal for a new Proof CF 18” 308 barrel.
Now to decide on a receiver set. My two current large frame rifles are on Xanthos Lite receiver sets, but I’m leaning toward MWS, SP10 etc for this.
So it begins…

How fucked am I? Aero rifle length gas tube, aero enhanced upper, Rainier Match 18" rifle gas. The gas tube has a slight shoulder that wont let it go into the upper any further. I have a SA adjustable block coming tomorrow but this shit doesn't look right to me.
Also heres a borescope of the barrel, only ran 2 patches of patch out through it, no scrubbing or anything. Looks like I'm gonna scrub some.
