If you are bright enough to be able to lace your shoes without a manual of instruction, then there is no need for a gunsmith to ever get involved.

I built my stripped lower without ever having done it. It's not that hard. Watch a couple of youtube videos, and you'll be fine.

As far as the upper, I had one built for me. Those are easy enough though too.

 

[HiVolt]

Ok but, is the complete kit and the stripped lower all I need and a mag. Also need info on pinning the stock.

ARs don't really come in... kits... what did you buy--exactly? post a list of what parts you have and we'll either say "yes", or "no".

do you have a bench vice? armorer's wrench? vice block? punch set? BEER?

 

[BE4TNUT]

You would need to link to this "complete kit" for anyone to answer. We have no idea what is in it.

 

[Independence Arms]

I would imagine you would need more beer!

AR stands for "Assembly Retard-proof" watch some youtube videos or just look at an exploded diagram and figure it out

If you have a muzzle brake, you'll "need" a gunsmith to pin/weld it (assuming you are not in a free state).

Also, I used no 'special tools' either.

I used tools I had lying around my house and it was just as easy. Everything went together perfect.

Where are you located? I'd be willing to lend a helping hand or just do it for you and show you how in the process. I've got some new punches and tools I need to break in anyways!

What do you have currently?

 

[BE4TNUT]

Well, you will also needs barrel...

 

[G30]

If your near central RI I could walk you through it and loan my tools (Torque wrench, barrel nut, bolt stop pin punch, other roll pin punches, vise block etc).

 

[ntomsw]

I'd like to know what you have for AR parts as well, so people could help you further.

 

[HiVolt]

Ill post when I can type at home. This phone text sux

Beer for ARs, vodka for euro guns made of shovels and trash cans.

Any AR armorers wrench will do fine. As far as the muzzle brake, take a look at http://www.carlsoncompsinc.com/ he is local, and a NES member.

I bought an 80% complete billet (paper weight) and milled out the fire control pocket and have completed the lower. I have the barrel and have ordered an upper receiver from RRA but at this point I can not find a bolt or carrier anywhere. Anyone have any ideas?

Nope, don't even need one for that. Just silver solder it, piece of cake.

little bit of a hijack...can one pin/weld their muzzle break themselves? or does this need to be done by someone licensed?

You can absolutely do it yourself.

Pinning or welding the brake on requires a MIG or even better a TIG welder. Silver solder can be done with just a torch. Oxy/Acc (best) MAPP (better) Propane (acceptable) It also gives better looking results.

 

[jrobie79]

I have a MIG welder, been welding for a couple years, this process doesn't seem too difficult for me to handle on my own. I was just curious on legality.

Hence why I put need in quotations.
