| New to the forum guys thanks for having me. I'm going to be starting my build and from what i research and tutorial videos I've watch, I've seen that alot of people say your lower is were to start. I've came accross a receiver set from special ops tactical anyone every use there product. Any help or information would be appreciated. |
| Thanks for the advice, I kinda want to build one to my liking. The reason being is I don't want to buy one off the shelf or Internet complete because I buy one then I end up swaping triggers or hand guards, etc its like I'm paying twice for things. I'd rather build it once to my liking and be done with it. I want to build this for 2 reasons 1st to familiarize myself to my rifle, and to build something that I like. |

Just me, but for a first, I'd keep it simple, with a 16.1" M4 type carbine, or 20" M16A4 type. Add a USGI carry handle from the Equipment Exchange for sights, some ammo, & a few mags. Take to range & shoot. Add ons later, as desired. Solid ^^^^^. I built one the way I wanted. Changed parts, built another with new/left over parts. Changed parts, ...... had 7. Sold a couple to some pals, now at 5. If I did it over, I'd buy a quality first. Put it through it's paces, build off experience there. Just my 0.02 worth Edit: Not saying dont build, OP. Just that even with hand selecting components, it's doubtful it will be built and never upgraded. That's the beauty of ARs. Truth be told, minus a stripped lower and delta pack, I've got a full rifles worth of parts sitting here now.

And you're asking for advice, why? :) Honesty, everyone has their personal likings, thats why we build. Given the lower is the firearm, yes, that is where most start. Tigwelder hit the nail on the head. You will build one and it wont be long before you either want another or change the one you have. I would push you toward a 16" carbine or midlength with standard front sight and flattop. My last build and one of my favorites.

How much was your build joebud, if you dont mind me asking. About $575. I bought it all in pieces, some new, some used. Lower, upper and barrel are all new Bushmaster. Back when Bushmaster lowers were selling for $50. Buttstock assembly and carry handle are used off the EE, BCG is surplus Colt USGI. |
