[QUOTE="jackary, post: 3549705, member: 11985"] I would suggest finding a factory assembled upper for a first build, unless you really just want to dive down the rabbit hole. I will say though that if this is going to be a one and done build it isn't worth it investing in all of the tools necessary to properly assemble an upper receiver. The Midwest Industries URR is the best reaction rod for upper receiver assembly. This is because it has a sail that keeps the rod from rotating in the upper, and it also engages the lugs on the barrel extension to keep the barrel from spinning and damaging the upper when torquing the barrel nut. The best place to start when planning a build is intended use once you have determined the main use. Research some of the builds or guns that are geared towards that use. Most parts are personal preference such as grips and stocks. Definitely check out School of the American Rifle on youtube. He puts out good content on the AR15 platform. [/QUOTE]
