just finished building my ar15 lower - Page 2

I'm not savvy on the ar's, so what is a "parts" list that you need to build one? I find it pretty stupid that you can build one third of the price and all you have to do is put it together.

The lower receiver is the only part you need to buy through a dealer. Everything else you can get shipped directly to you. It's a pretty short list:

Lower receiver, complete upper, trigger kit, and stock and buffer tube. You'll want someone to assemble the lower for you though.

Matts94Z28 · 02-23-2013, 11:47 AM

Man up and assemble the lower yourself.

ForceFed4g63 · 02-23-2013, 11:49 AM

Pfft. Not me, too many things can go wrong.

94FormulaBird · 02-24-2013, 02:21 AM

This was my first build...taped up the receiver so it didnt get scratched...then used tape wrapped vice grips to slowly drive the rolls pins into place...a child could assemble an ar15 lower...takes patience...and a little reading of thread to figure out what to watch for and what to do...

98Camarod · 02-24-2013, 08:37 AM

So you can put an entire ar15 together for less than 1k, yet they cost over 2k for a comparable one?

If that's the case, why aren't people buying the stuff and selling them complete for 1500 and make some money?

Parts availability?

So I'm getting in the last pieces for my rifle today. Can anyone recommend a good site/vidio for assembling it? I've never done one before and don't want to eff it up.
