I was thinking about building a AR15 for coyote hunting. I am in college and was looking for the cheapest route. Suggestions and help? Thanks

Welcome!  Parting together a lower and upper isn't that difficult however i would have someone who knows what they are doing help with the upper.  You really aren't going to save a whole lot putting an upper together from parts vs buying one complete anyway, and if you have built one before than ignore my coment as I'm going with the assumption that you haven't built one before. If I were in your shoes I would buy a complete lower from Surplus Ammo & Arms, either theirs or the Aero Precision ( made by the same company just different role marks) and then watch the EE for a used varmint upper or find a good deal on a RRA or Bushmaster upper. If you have a little extra cash I would consider buying one of Harrison's uppers from ARPerformance. Good luck.

Thanks i am just looking around for now, so I will use what you said. My brother has built many AR's but he doesn't live here. Would buying the lower as a whole as to buying individually.

You might want to check Kansas law but I'm pretty sure that you need to be 21 to purchase a pistol. Rifle is different. This would come into play if you were wanting to buy a stripped AR lower as it could be built into a pistol.  If you happen to be under 21 then buy a complete lower with stock as it is a rifle.

A lightweight sure is nice for carrying.
