Model 1 and JT looks to be the 2 most people uses here.
I did my first build in about an hour. Remember to use some CLP(can be found at local sporting good stores) on the parts as you assemble. Dont force anything.... |

M & A is the other big DIY supplier. I have never seen one of their rifles in person though.
[url]http://www.m-aparts.com[/url] You know you're normally just assembling the lower with these kits? You get a lower parts kit and an assembled upper. Check and see if you can get a chrome lined barrel on the upper you buy, at least that's what I would do. I thought J&T was offering that now, but could not find it easily on their website, you could call and ask. You can get DIY kits from just about every manufacturer, but I suspect that these three are the vast majority of the DIY market because of their lower cost over the other manufacturers. Oly has a $ 400 kit on sale now. I think it comes with a 16" heavy barrel that is not chrome lined. |

First thing I'ld do is try and decide what kind of rifle you want...for your first one. Depending on how you or what, you want to shoot. You can tailor your first build to that goal. If your needs or wants change later you can just add another upper, and yes you can put together your uppers too. Just adds a little more knowledge to your crainium.
What do you want to shoot? |
