So I’m really new to AR15 building, but have been researching and bugging some of the fine members here about parts, costs, tools, durability, and other boringly random questions.
SMAJ and warchild can attest to this and have been immensely helpful in getting started. Thanks to you two!

I will try to document my first build here in this thread. This process will take awhile, so come back early and often and enjoy the show.

This is like Legos for adults.

**A quick note, let’s please keep this thread clean of any extraneous off topic chatter please to keep the continuity of the thread. Encouragement and discussion on topic is more than welcome.**

Thanks for your understanding.
