I had the same reservations as you last Christmas, I ordered my first AR complete.
Once I had it in my hands, I found that they are quite simple, so I ordered a kit for this Christmas from Olympic Arms, went with a 16" Eliminator. I am so looking forward to Christmas day. Go to this link page: [url]http://old.ar15.com/docs/assembly/lower/[/url] Let me know what you do, Rancid Lance |

I put together my AR earlier this year in about 3 hours, having never even touched one before. I'm also not terribly mechanically inclined.
I'd definately do it again. I'd also recommend that you go with J&T Distributing. |

I built a 16" M4 several months ago but didn't use a "kit". Just bought a stripped upper and lower, then the barrel and all the other parts needed and proceded to assemble them. It all went real smooth. Also, it shoots great and after about 4 or 500 rounds thru it, haven't had a lick of problems or malfunctions.

Quoted: i would like to build a ar15 from one of the complete kits! being that i am new to shooting and ar's is this something that can be done for someone with little experience in guns? or are these kits for serious gunners' only? If you've ever built a plastic model, played with Lego's or an erector set as a kid, you're ready for a kit. For your next rig( there will be) you'll be ready to piece together a scratch built!

Just like Not_A_Llama, I put together an AR15 for my son about 2-3 months ago having never even held/seen/thought about one before. I used a DPMS lower receiver and a J&T complete kit. I'm happy with both products.

Will have to see if I can find any reciepts that I saved and see if I can add it up. Don't know if its any cheaper but Had lots of fun putting everything together and you know every piece in the rifle when your done. |
