[QUOTE="lazylabs, post: 504834, member: 6641"] Do you want to go ar15 or ar10 is the first real decision point. The price difference in builds is a lot and the price difference in mags is even more. The 6.5 is toward the long range max you can get out of an ar15 and the low end out of the ar10. If I wanted to shoot anything other than PD's or coyotes out to 600 I would go with the ar10. If you get the brownells AR catalog it will give you a good idea of what's available as well as common tools to work on them. It may be cheaper to shop the net and buy the stuff but the catalog gives you one place to look at. The ar10 does have a few different models of lowers out there so make sure your parts are designed to work together. They can also use different mags to keep that in mind when starting. Get a lower, then LPK and stock. If you want a light trigger either buy a 2 stage match or take it to a smith that works on these triggers often. It's not a good place to try your first ever trigger job. These can be put together with very few tools. If you get that together and want to just buy an upper your set. If you want to piece together an upper you will spend more on tools than you will save buying off the rack. These guns can be lego's for adults but don't be fooled, if you don't know how to check headspace or your drilling gas ports and such you can not only start ruining barrels but getting yourself into dangerous situations!
