ARs are one of the funnest guns to build, primarily because you can create them to YOUR specifications. Keep in mind that there are a variety of different types of AR-15 builds, so this list will not work for all builds.
However, if you come into our shop, here’s the “shopping list” you’d receive in order to make sure you have everything you need to create a typical M-4 style AR-15 with a stripped lower receiver, and stripped upper receiver:
- AR-15 lower receiver
- AR-15 upper receiver
- Lower receiver parts kit
- Upper receiver parts kit
- Lower receiver extension (aka: the buffer tube)
- Buffer
- Buffer spring
- Barrel (a carbine length gas system would be typical for this build)
- Hand-guard/forend (length will depend on what length gas system you chose on your barrel: carbine, mid-length, or rifle)
- Bolt carrier group (carrier, bolt, firing pin, cam, extractor, ejector and spring)
- Buttstock (can be fixed or collapsible)
- At least one magazine
The best part? You can buy all the parts at once, or simply a piece at a time, depending on your budget.
