Hello All,

I've built several ak47s and am wondering how much and how hard an ar15 would be to build? What would I need to purchase?

Thanks

Difficulty is very easy compared to building an AK
Cost can be anywhere from $700 to several thousand depending on what you get.  
For parts you basically need a lower receiver, lower receiver parts kit, stock, buffer tube, buffer, buffer spring, upper receiver, bolt carrier group, charging handle, barrel, handguard, magazines, and sights.
See the following link for a tutorial on how to put it all together.  This should give you a good idea of the difficulty.

Hope that helps.
