You really don't need any books you can find all the information one needs to complete a 0% to 80% lower receiver for the AR-15 at the following site:

I think my terminology was off. I'd be using a 100% receiver (probably RRA) for the build. What I need is a manual that shows me where all the peices go. Thx.

All the info is right there at that url. Follow the step by step instructions with pictures and it should go "smooth as silk"

If you can hold out until January 2003 you can get my book on step-by-step machining the AR lower from forging.
