[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Building first AR (Best Books?)

Posted: 3/14/2003 5:14:51 PM EDT

I have most of the military manuals
and quite a few others on the AR.

I don't have Duncan Long's book
on building your own AR (yet).

Is that the best book to get
for this project? Or if not,
which one is?

I am a machinist, so I don't think
I will have much trouble if I have the
right tools and references.

for 'assembling' i just used the USMC manual. if you mean building, like machining(?) a 80% lower i can't help you.

I really like "The Complete AR-15 Assembly Guide" By Walt Kulek and Clint McKee. It's available from [url]http://www.fultonarmory.com[/url] Great pictures of EVERY step, good descriptions, plus pitfalls, tips, and tricks. And it's only $20. Good stuff.

I'll definitley get that one.
A great price for a good reference,

Thanks!
