Geissele Armorer’s Packages have all the tools necessary for working on your AR-platform rifle, including the company’s Reaction Rod for removing and installing barrels, flash suppressors, gas blocks and handguards.

The Gas Block Pin Punch Set is for the roll pin that secures the gas tube to the block.
This tool is designed to aid in the assembly of lower receivers. Once you’ve installed the buffer tube, the lower receiver can then be slid into the Geissele Reaction Block at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions. This allows you to rotate the lower receiver in 90-degree increments in the block simply by loosening the provided nylon screws, removing the lower receiver and sliding it back in at its desired orientation. The Reaction Block provides a stable platform for performing an array of lower receiver operations as well as making the installation of the buffer retainer nut quick and easy.

NFUSED is a synthetic weapon lubricant that bonds to heated gun metal, making it self-lubricating under the toughest environmental conditions. It seals and conditions the heated metal, leaving a surface that reduces heat, improves performance, and prevents jamming and corrosion. NFUSED also has a corrosion inhibitor that works well with the NFUSED Weapons Cleaner, which is water based and doesn’t have that solvent smell.

The Barrel Badger from Outers—the same company that unveiled the BoreSnake—comes with a brass weight so you can simply drop it into the chamber and feed it through the barrel.

Use it dry or with Outers’ gun cleaning products. Various versions are available for different calibers.

Slip 2000’s EWL 30 has the same long-lasting extreme wear properties as the original EWL, but with the viscosity of a 30-weight oil. This new lubricant is perfect for shooters who live in very hot conditions. It stands up better in the heat, for long-term storage and functions well in suppressed weapons. Since it’s thicker, it does not migrate and stays in place better than the standard EWL. In other words, it’s perfect for applications where you want the surface to stay wet longer.
