So I'm in the process of building my first AR15 rifle and I'm excited as baaaallllsss. I'm thinking it'll be done sometime within the next couple weeks. I'm doing a 16" mid length barrel on a Seekins SP223 upper/lower combo. Some questions I have; what kind of accuracy should I expect out of my rifle? What malfunctions should I expect if any? I've never been into shooting as much as I wanted to, but now since I'm making some decent money I decided to get into it more.

Accuracy will depend on the barrel quality.  A quality barrel should group .5" to .75" at 100yrds.

Issues to expect...none if you build it right.   Read through this thread
