[QUOTE="LuvDog, post: 2026230, member: 116150"] Building up a lower is simple. There are plenty of youtube videos on how to do it and it doesn't require any really special tools. Castle nut / AR Wrench for the buffer tube, but that's really it. It can be done at your kitchen table. I've literally built mine at the kitchen table or at my desk while on conference calls. The upper is just slightly more challenging, but still very easy to do. You do need to torque the barrel nut, so you'll need a vise. My opinion is to build the lower. Get a "cheap" forged lower and standard lower parts kits. Very easy to build. Then buy a complete upper. I've found that its not really much cheaper to piece one together... and usually more expensive because you end up customizing parts. [/QUOTE]
