Fix my gun / Modding Hand tools for regular maintenance
I have a .223,.22LR, 7.62x39 and a 12 gauge. Do I need any kind of speciality screwdrivers for cleaning? I'm in the trades so I have a lot of different sized screwdriver bits but I don't know if I have any super small ones. The only thing I don't have is a torque screwdriver, should I buy a kit with the torque screwdriver and a bunch of different sized heads?

A big tip is a wide variety of widths of hollow ground slotted screwdrivers. You want the head to match the width of the scre's drive and to match the parallel interior walls to prevent buggering them up.
A rubber mallet has come in handy a few times.
A piece of carpet underlayment helps protect wood parts if you need them in the vice.
