I was talking to my local FFL late last year and noticed that he had a bunch of AR-15 parts laying around. I talked to him about AR-15s, and he pretty much talked me into one. He told me that if I was adventurous enough I could actually build one. I thought that was hella cool. He told me building the lower was fairly easy, but I was not so sure (He has over 30 years experience, so of course it's gonna be easy for him!
).
I remembered hearing about ARFCOM at another forum, so I decided to see what all the fuss was about. The first time I loaded up the site and looked around, I said "
, this place has a lot of information!" After looking around here and asking questions for a few months, I decided to take the plunge and start on my first AR-15. I'm gonna piece everything together, including the upper. I already have it half-way done (only need the barrel assembly, rear sight, FA, and ejection port cover)!
I could not have done it without the help of this site and the people here. Thanks a bunch!
