[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 862428, member: 229"] Find someone on here who knows what they're doing and see if you can't get some in-person super-vision (I borrowed an AR Vice block and met some good folks along the way when building my first one). [B]Figure out what your budget is up-front and what you intend to do with it[/B] - that will truly tell if your expectations are realistic or not. If you want this one to last for the rest of your life, then I wouldn't go the cheap route. You can build an AR for about $600, but it won't be very reliable. Get a good stripped lower and Lower Parts Kit - read as much as you can about how to assemble and get a friend who has done it many times before to hang out with you while you assemble it (you may have to buy him/her a beer or pizza). Look into what sort of stock you want and get a quality buffer/tube/stock for it. If its your first AR, I'd get a pre-built upper - several companies make good upper assemblies that are reasonable.
