If you really want to understand how an AR works, build one. I built my first AR, if I can do it anyone can. Strategy for putting together the parts will depend on your desires for the gun. My first was a parts kit I bought from a discount supplier for $175 dollars on a Black Friday sale. It has ran flawlessly. For the second build, a side charging pistol, I bought a complete upper from a discount supplier. It was cheaper to buy the complete upper than buy the individual parts, and I didn’t feel the need for a lot of bells and whistles. It has also ran flawlessly. Some good places to look for pats online are ar15discounts, unbrandedar, psa, many others. Take a look at gun.deals, good buys on parts get posted there frequently.The advice on buying build tools and oops kits up front is well taken.As a final word, I will readily admit that if I were going into combat with the SEALS, my rifles would not be appropriate. I feel that they will do everything I need reliably, and I saved a lot of money building them myself with budget parts.</blockquote>
