then you can sell it for two grand in the classified and start another one.Buy the cheapest stuff possible, look at palmetto state armory. You've no idea what you want, just build something and figure it out from there.
Something like that. But seriously, if you've never seriously used an AR before and it's the first build - you'll likely want to rebuild everything all over again after you know what you're doing. Today it's easy to get most of the parts for like $350-400.
I do have an M&P 15 but want to get more into building from parts. I think that's the route I'm most likely taking (cheaper parts until I'm more knowledgeable on the subject).
Invest in a good trigger. It will cost you less in the long run.
Oh, check out Anderson Mfg. great product, great prices.
I disagree - I did a ton of research before my first AR and ended up being very happy with it.Something like that.

The trigger that came with my Anderson LPK was pretty terrible.You can buy Anderson everything, pay bottom dollar and still have a very decent AR-15. Nowadays it's difficult to find something truly awful.

OP, talk to people, see what others use, look at what the big names use, think about the purpose of the gun, etc. Always leave room in your budget for the parts you'll want to replace right off the bat - for me it was sights and trigger.
