Ar 15 build question/opinion

[Old_School]

Ok, want some sound advice here. I am having some thoughts on which to use installing my barrel. I don’t know whether to use the reaction rod to install the barrel because I am reading it puts a lot of stress in one spot. Or should I use the BevBlock to install the barrel and use the reaction rod to install the muzzle brake?

They both do the same thing. I have a clamshell block, but intend to invest in a Reaction Rod to take torsional stress off of the aluminum receiver. Plus the fact it can be used on non-milspec uppers.
