Like many have said already you will get a great sense of accomplishment and really appreciate the rifle more if you do it yourself. I recently finally completed my first rifle and it is so stinking easy. The only thing I didn't do was torquing the barrel down and that was because I didn't...
Sniper, you would be surprised how easy it is. The only thing I needed my gunsmith to do for me is torque the barrel nut, check the headspace and install the flash hider. The hider is easy but mine didn't act right and he put it on for free.
Well, managed to make it to the range and put some rounds through it. Amazing when you have nice weather in the heart of winter how packed a range can be. All I have to say is it was worth the year that I spent building my AR. It's nothing fancy but it works right. Without further delay...
Well, just like the title says, today I finished my first AR build. Took me a year to finish it but truly well worth the wait. Going to the range with it tomorrow to break it in and will get some pictures up eventually. :):
Good seeing you Pami!!! We didn't talk much on here but I definitely remember you and Lars. You all take care and good luck finding the bacon seeds and when you finally find them, please mail some back here.
