Custom Build Ar-15?

[Caligstar]

I'm interested in building an AR-15. I am not familiar with guns, but this seems like a cool project. Does anyone here know how to build these guns, can explain the nuances involved, and quality of the brands available? I've been reading a lot of articles and how-tos online, but I would like some personal insight as well and maybe a hand holder LOL.

 

I attached a picture of one that I really like, and I want to recreate it - or simply put, copy it!

 

Thanks guys.

http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ best prices on everything! and they have every model of AR15 for sale, from the cheaper Bushmaster series, to the Colt AR15 which is the military version.

 

http://www.omahaoutdoors.com/ sells weapons modification kits.

 

http://www.blackacestactical.com/ sell shotgun modification kits, but they might have some AR15 stuff.

 

 

(FYI the AR15 you have pictured has an upper rail with custom sites, a tactical adjustable stock, custom fore-grip, and a choke-tube on the end of the barrel, which doesn't really do much for the weapon except look nice, but a choke-tube on the end of a shotgun will improve "shot distribution" AND allow you to stick the barrel on a door-lock and blow a hole through the door, without the weapon backfiring.)

 

All of these parts are available on the above websites

hope this helps.

im probably going to do a sub 6lb lightweight build soon , looks fun, also going to look into collecting range scrap and make my own bullets!

If you like to build things its pretty simple... just don't forget there is a right tool for every job.

 

one custom thing I like to do is.. instead of using barrel shims, I like to sand/machine the barrel nut just until it sit right where I want it.

 

I have experimented with barrels alot.... um, if its your first buiild, maybe just do a cheapo build, so learn from the first one... and then your second build can be the Gun of The Gods.. or a nicer one.

 

palmettostatearmory.com they are uber cheap... its a good start there.

I bulit an ar15 from an 80 percent lower, DSA made. used the Modulus Arms Universal Lower Receiver Jig but im sure other jigs would work just as good. it was easy. the upper I built with dsa parts. thinking of building a 6.5 grendel upper soon
