Hello all! So I thought a fun project for this summer would be to build an Ar-15. I live in California and unfortunately do not know any of the legal rules or requirements to buying parts or the gun itself. I also don't know a huge amount about Ar-15's. I've been looking at a few kits on Midway USA that include everything but the lower receiver. I would love to hear some opinions about these or some other recommendations. Then, I am confused on legally obtaining a lower receiver in California. Thats probably my main concern, I just don't know the process and would appreciate if someone outlined it for me. Thank you in advance for any help and info. Here are the links to the kits and lowers I'm looking at.

Kits:
1. (I'm leaning towards this kit)
