Installing a Lower parts kit for an AR-15

[peabody]

I HIGHLY reccomend the Magpul MOE stocks. They are the most comfortable that I have shouldered.



Instead of paying $30 for pins go to the tool section at lowes and Dewalt makes some for $12 but there just not as long.

I live in Mass, no collapsible or adjustable stocks. They need to be pinned..... :roll:

Im thinking Ace Skeleton or Ace Entry skeleton stock.

And I am thinking Rifle Gas.... Who makes a good one these days?

Bringing up an older thread, but I'm new so maybe I'll get a little slack.

For rifle length I'd suggest Bravo Company Manufacturing (BCM). They offer a 20" with rifle gas and government profile barrel, M4 feedramps, 1:7 twist, and true 5.56 chambers. Great quality and customer service.

All my 5.56 AR's (14.5" carbine gas, 16" mid-length gas x2, and 20" rifle gas) are BCM, unfortunately they haven't jumped on the 300blackout bandwagon so I had to go elsewhere for that.

So it is possible to build a complete AR from scratch off the internet. I want one, but wouldn't know where to begin building one. Are the any books or sites out there that focus on building one from scratch?

ohh yes...super eazy to build...only thing is the lower ..you must hqve that sent to your FFL ..(gun shop )
everything else can be shipped right to your door.
all you need is a few simple ar15 tools..and a vise..
brownells and midwayusa have dvd ..that will explain everything. olimpic arms . org is a wealth of information
OA2.org

now ? what do you want to build ? i suggests getting a model 1 sales rifle kit..
or a del ton kit.. then all you'll need is a lower from your gun shop.
i like the rifles... because of the gas system..and thats how eugene stoner ment the ar to be.
smoother ..and a little more quiet.
nothing wrong with a carbean.. theres millions of them.
do you want a flattop so you can scope it ? or like me..i love the old A2s and A1s ...fixed carry handels...but that's just me. i do have a A4 flattop rifle..it has its place.
my retro is one cool looking rifle...1968 all over again.
its my hobbie..building a few ar"s ..and addictive.....lol
ask any guestions..ill help if i can.
