| I am wanting to start an AR10 build, I have never built any ARs before. However having shot them for years along with other platforms I get the idea and have a solid understanding about how to disassemble and reassemble. The way I see it is it can't be that hard lol. I do need some advice as to what order to start purchasing pieces. Is it just about what I can find and such? Any input at all will be greatly appreciated! |

Hi OUDAN,
I would start with your lower receiver. Either complete or stripped. The lower receiver is the serial numbered part that (depending on your states laws) needs to be acquired from a licensed gun dealer, or transferred through a licensed dealer (an FFL). You'll notice online sellers all say "must ship to a FFL". You need to find your local FFL to do transfers for you. Doing the lower receiver first gets the paperwork out of the way. So decide basically on a collapsible stock or fixed stock rifle and find your lower. If you're undecided, get a stripped lower. Good luck and have fun doing it. The tacked threads on building are a good place to learn. -W ETA: Some people also buy stripped because they want to put every single piece on the gun in themselves. I know one of my goals in building AR's has always been to take used parts or dismantled parts and make them into functional rifles and carbines. To create something from a parts pile. I always get a kick out of that. One mans junk is another mans treasure! -W |
