[QUOTE="threejones, post: 619843, member: 27464"] Kevin is right about the AR build book. Another cheaper option is AR15.com, they've got several "How to build/instal" threads for every aspect of the AR. It's nice for your first build to have a couple different takes on how assemble things. Even youtube has some good video tutorials (and some that are total BS, so make sure you watch a couple of em to weed out the idiots) Just don't let any part of a standard build scare you, even the most complex part of an AR is just adding one bit after the other, and most of the parts usually only work one way. The only specialty tool that you need is a propper AR wrench (can be had for $20-$40), and even that is debateable, for a lower build all ya need is a hammer and little punch. It's just like building a model airplane... but much cooler:D! I would head ICANHITHIMMANs advise as well when ordering parts. Going all mil spec, or at least mostly, will make things easier to assemble and usually doesn't cost much more. Cody [/QUOTE]
