Re: First AR: Need input on a build

Honestly, if this is your first AR I would highly recommend getting a factory built AR, 5.56 chambered with 1:7 twist and first get familiar with the basic in/outs, construction etc.

As others have stated, if you'd really like to build one, they are very easy to put together. Getting them to be spec'ed properly to deliver appropriate accuracy and reliability is a different story. I've seen and also built some Frankenstein AR's that ran like butter, but I've also seen them being downright unreliable and unsafe.

FWIW, you can get a base AR now in the $750-$950 range (not going into brand etc. now), that you can mod out, if you wish to familiarize yourself with its design.

For a very first AR, I would highly recommend this route right now.
