Geissele's Reaction Rod simplifies barrel, flash hider, gas block, and handguard installation on AR10 rifles. Grips in a vise to prevent receiver marring while directing all torque to the barrel extension. 4140 chrome moly steel construction.
The Reaction Rod is a purpose-built tool that transforms AR10 maintenance and assembly work. Rather than clamping your upper receiver in a vise—risking marring and damage—this tool allows you to secure the barrel extension itself, protecting your receiver from harm.
The Reaction Rod is designed to be gripped horizontally or vertically in a bench vise. Your upper receiver slides onto the rod, where integral splines engage the barrel extension and prevent it from rotating. This simple but elegant design means all torque from your barrel nut wrench goes directly into the barrel extension, not into the aluminum receiver.
Whether you're installing a new barrel, swapping flash hiders, adjusting gas blocks, or replacing handguards, the Geissele Reaction Rod makes the work cleaner, faster, and safer for your rifle.
