Thanks DnPRK, I used to be an auto mechanic by trade and have lot's of leftovers when it comes to tools, so it looks like all I should actually "need" to get are the armorers wrench and the receiver block.

But what about head spacing? I'll be using a different barrel and receiver with the original bolt assembly, so do I not need to re-check the head spacing?

And thanks for the offer, Creature, but my intent is to keep all of the original DCM parts including the fixed stock because I might want to change back and play with some long distance shooting at some point.
