I'm thinking of building a ar. Not because I need one or even want one. Just because? I have good experience with tinkering with firearms. Not in any way a gunsmith, but a dang good "Bubba the gunsmith". I can completely disassemble & reassemble lever actions, pumps and some semi auto rifles...

Getting ready to buy my upper and wanting some ideas. Any thoughts on this? http://www.surplusammo.com/surplus-ammo-arms-complete-16-1-9-hbar-ar-15-dragons-head-upper-receiver-free-float-quad-rail-5-56/

The panic seems to be over, so I'm looking to finish the AR I started 2 years ago. So far I have a "frankengun" build with a Stag Lower, Spike's parts kit and Rock River Stock. Hopefully it all works. I'm looking to make it shorter style build in the mid range of quality. Looking to spend...

I am mulling the idea of building an AR with the intention to use it for Highpower rifle competition..eventually, and just for fun. I know most of the accuracy (other than the shooter) comes from a good barrel, sights and somewhat less so the upper receiver. Does the lower matter much?

I just bought a lower and want to build a moderate target gun . I dont want to go overboard with it. Who makes a decent trigger that will have a light or adjustable pull? Also I need to make some decisions on what type of upper. I would like a flat top with a heavy barrel. What else on the parts...

http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=877204 Is this EVERYTHING I need to make a lower receiver functional? Also, by buying an upper receiver should I assume that it comes with the bolt assembly or not?

Fidelis Arms...Previously "Center Mass Tactical" Has anyone had any dealings with this Co? I'm considering an AR build, and liked the idea of a custom lower, with personal logo, ser. #, etc. In speaking with them a little over a year ago, there was a "mom & pop" small company feel...just...

What is the cheapest source for AR 15 barrels?

I've got the best wife ever. Yesterday I told her I had just about talked myself into building an AR-15. She said "I think you should, everybody needs a project. You've been heading towards some kind of gunsmith project for a while now anyway". I'm thinking something along the lines of an...

Where would a person go to find out info on how to build and buy parts for the AR rifles? I would like to learn how to build my own AR. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

I have been looking into building my own AR/M4. Its not just because of cost, but I think it would be more interesting to own a gun that I "built". I have been on the Del-Ton website looking at their rifle kits and stripped lowers. My question is, what should I expect when it comes to...

I want to get an AR. I've heard buying it piece by piece is substancially less expensive. Is this true? Is building it piece by piece the best way to go or buying it fully assembled? I was thinking about Colt. Any suggestions on who make solid AR's? I imagine its going to be around 2k.

I've always been skeptical of ARs but i just saw this thing called Failzero so I was thinking about building one around one of their extreme duty kits. Sound like a good idea? I was think of buying the rest of the pieces off del-ton.com or a gun show... I don't know a whole lot about ARs so...

Anyone know of any books/manuals/websites that have good information on what you need (parts, tools, ect.) to build your own AR? I've looked around ar15.com a little bit.. but.. it's just not the same as good ol' THR :( so I figured I'd ask this knowledgeable bunch. Basically I'm looking...

I have been considering getting rid of my Yugo SKS for some time, but I didn't really know what I would put it towards. Last time I was at my local gun shop, I saw a striped AR-15 lower receiver. For some reason it caught my eye. I guess I enjoy the idea of a project where I can build an AR to...

Well I have been saving for a couple of months now and I am ready to build my long range AR. I did alot of reasearch and came up with this: Model 1 Sales Upper/barrel 1/8twist 24"complete less stripped lower : $535 Del-Ton stripped lower:$95 or DPMS stripped:$115 or LRB :$86 Scope : ...

I am wanting to build an ar15 in 223 or 7.62 on a budget. Im not wanting to cheap out on the important stuff just not wanting to pay gun store prices on something they throw together for a third of what they are selling it for. What all will I need to throw a budget ar together and do you...

Yesterday i bought an RRA striped lower. Im planning on building myself a lower and buying a few uppers. I was just curious if anyone else here had tried the same thing, or if anyone had any advice. I would like to find something like a military amour's manual for the m16, anything that...

It's been awhile since I posted, and I have learned a bunch about guns in general. I am really thinking about making an Ar-15my next rifle purchase. I am wondering if anyone could help me chose the parts to build it with AND what all parts I need to purchase for the build. Also does building it...

Does anyone have experience with http://ar15-m16.com??? I finally have my lower receiver and I was thinking about purchasing the Complete 16" AR-15 CAR Rifle Kit from this website. Any suggestions or recommendations on where to get internals and complete upper? I prefer the M4 16inch...
