I got it in my mind to build an AR. The wife asked me if I had any idea how to put one together and I said "no, and that's the point of doing it!"
Since this is my first build, I decided to get a completed upper and just build the lower. I'll do a complete build for my next project, which will hopefully be soon after the pricing gets back to normal. So I set about doing research and buying parts here and there when I found a deal. Now I've got everything ordered, and am just waiting on the last few parts to come in. I'll post pictures as soon as it is complete. Here is the parts break down: Upper: Troy CQB upper receiver - http://troyind.com/%20/weapon-upgrades/upper-receivers/16-cqb-upper-receiver This comes with Troy folding iron sights and the Troy Modular Front Battlegrip I got such a good deal on it that it would have cost several hundred more to build it. Lower: Mega Gator stripped lower - http://megaarms.com/ar-15/lower-receivers/forged-lower/ Stock- Magpul STR- Milspec- black http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG470/171 Grip- Magpul MOE+ Milspec- black http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG416/39 Bushmaster LPK Trigger- Geissele Super Dynamic 3 Gun - http://geissele.com/superdynamic3gun.aspx Stock assembly- Spike's Carbine Buffer Assembly Kit - http://www.spikestactical.com/new/z/lower-kit-spikes-carbine-buffer-assembly-kit-p-315.html Optics: Other than the aforementioned Troy folding iron sights...

Everyone starts out like you. Nobody is born knowing how to build an AR. I bought my first one, after I took it apart a few times and became familiar with it, I was like dam why did I buy it. Sold it after I had build a few, the first step is always building the lower, the upper requires some more tools. Once you get the hang of it you'll want to move on to the harder stuff like retro AR's.
