So can you order it directly or does it have to go thru a FFL? What about the lower, does it have to go thru a FFL? If I order the upper and lower do I need any other items to finish building it (other than mags and tactools)? I have always wanted to build one but I am REALLY scared about trying to do this. I have a basic knowledge of guns and can strip my shotgun/rifle down to clean it, but messing with trigger mechanisms and all the other stuff freaks me out (that's why I want to try it, in order to get over my fear/ignorance). Where is the best place to get how-to instruction on buliding one... I mean other than youtube? TIA and thanks for the shopping info



Only the lower receiver itself needs to go through an FFL. I built my first AR with a hammer and a vise grip. The lower is very easy to assemble, the upper is a little bit more tricky. If you are local to me and want to build an upper, I have all the tools to do it. Just let me know.

I'm ignorrent about ARs. What kinda rife would I have if I went this route? I see the upper has a chrome-lined barrel and comes with a charging handle and all that good shite. Is this the equivilient of building an $1100 AR for $700???
