The Geissele Automatics Reaction Rod (Model 10-169) is an essential tool designed to simplify the removal and installation of barrels, flash hiders, gas blocks, and hand guards on AR-15/M4 platforms chambered in 5.56 or .223 caliber. Crafted from durable steel with a sleek black finish, this tool provides a secure grip when mounted in a bench vise, allowing for both horizontal and vertical positioning to suit your working preference. The Reaction Rod features integral splines that fit into the barrel extension, effectively securing the barrel from turning during torque application. This design ensures that all force from barrel nut wrenches is directed into the barrel extension rather than the receiver, reducing the risk of damage. Unlike traditional receiver vise blocks that transmit torque into the aluminum receiver and risk marring or distortion, the Reaction Rod eliminates this concern, preserving your upper receiver's finish and integrity. With its straightforward setup, the Reaction Rod also negates the need to remove sights or mounts from the receiver's M1913 rail, saving time and effort during assembly or disassembly. Whether you're a professional gunsmith or a dedicated firearm enthusiast, this tool enhances your workflow by providing a reliable, damage-free method for handling critical barrel and gas system components. Its robust steel construction ensures longevity, making it a valuable addition to any firearms maintenance arsenal. Compact and easy to store, the Geissele Reaction Rod is compatible with standard AR-15 and M4 upper receivers, offering a precise and efficient solution for barrel work and component installation.
