Any advice on where to buy AR parts? Some place that wont be backordered?

Junho, you've inspired me. I purchased my first gun, a Glock 23, last month, and now you make me want to build my own rifle. Can you pm the guide you were using, as well as what you consider the necessary links to get set up with an AR-15?

I'll probably spend the next 2 months learning about AR-15's, another month or two deciding how I want to customize mine, and then save up to build one. Should be fun! Built a computer last year, build a gun next!

What a difference new rails and a new stock makes, Looks way better than the factory handguards. Magpul makes some nice stocks, has anyone used their ubr (utility/battle rifle) stock.

I sure didn't. I've been researching various AR platforms, and I'm considering Rock River arms, DPMS, and Bushmaster. I'd still like more info on building one though...

'Squatch - Post a new thread with your questions, continue this one, or just PM with what you need.

As for a guide, check this out:

DPMS Complete Lower Assembly Instructions

Upper Receiver Assembly

They also have videos on how to assemble them. If you are a Supporting Member, you can get into the Knowledge Base and there is a picture by picture write up some jack-a-lope did on how to assemble one of these things from a stripped receiver. Okay, it was me and that is shameless pimping on my part, but I think it's informative and it's an FTF exclusive..... Although a quick Google or YouTube video check will give you the same thing....

Building an AR is really quite easy. Junho has ZERO experience when he first came here. He asked good questions. Did the research that we provided for him and before we knew it, he had an up and running AR that he built himself.

The best thing, in my mind, is that if he ever has a malfunction, he is familiar with every working part, so he knows what everything does...

I agree 100% with what JD said

With thorough research, our helpful firearmstalk community (really really helpful ), and willingness to do something new (even though you may mess up but hey its a learning experience!) you can build one too!
i've put about 500 rounds through and only 2 or 3 malfunctions (crappy magazine got rid of it quick) but that's with lots of cleaning and maintenance but knowing the firearms inch by inch helped locate the problem immediately.
Many people own AR-15s but not all can say they "know" their AR-15 and that's something I take pride in


keep us posted!

hey just wanted to update you guys
sold my eotech 512 and looking to buy an Aimpoint comp m3
dont like the large reticle and button placement so gonna try out the aimpoint and i've read and heard alot of good things about them

[benjandpurge]

I am new to the Black Rifle stuff too, and I have a question about the Eotech sights. I know they must be pretty good cause of the military using them and I see alot of people that own them, but I was wondering if there is a comparable holosight that doesnt cost $500. But similar.
