So I think I am going to build my first AR. I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up with a stripped lower, I want to build this lower myself.
-I know I need a butt stock and buffer tube and spring. Looking to get a Ace Skelton Stock for this. Do the buffer tubes come in different lengths depending on how long my stock is?
-Need a pistol grip. Going to get a Magpul for this.
-Lower parts kit. Will this have everything I need for the rest of the lower? What do you recommend as a good lower parts kit?
The upper. I want to buy a completed upper that has a flat top. Who makes good uppers?
Do uppers usually come with the barrel and the hand guards or is that separate?
I was thinking a 16" barrel with a low profile gas system and quad rails.
Can I just buy an upper and then put the barrel and quad rail onto the upper myself?
Anything I should know before I start this build?
Thanks!
