Well I have hit the point where I am itching for an AR. I think I want to build one though and learn about it as I go. I was reading on here in another part about $50 lowers or something and I assume that's for an AR. I don't want something that is a piece of crap but I don't need it to end up being a $1000 rifle. I have shot a lot of AR's and can field strip them, but I don't know anything when it comes to buying one. What are some options or a good starter list for parts? I guess I would have to build it in .223, (I would love .308 but i'll save that one for on down the road) but I also like how cheap 5.45 is right now. Thanks!

You can build a really high quality AR for cheaper than you can buy it. Question. Why would you pay 15-2000.00 for a great AR when you can build the same thing for 1000.00

if you go to ar15.com they have a step by step tutorial on how to assemble your stripped lower with the lower parts kit you bought. otherwise, if you dont plan on making it tacticool then no you dont really need any tools. but if you think you may be getting into ar's for a while itd be a worthwhile investment to buy a spanner wrench, punches and some other basic tools if you dont know anyone that has them.

for me, I have always found it easier just to purchase a complete upper. A lower I can put together with basic tools and the thread over on ar15.com helps a lot as it has detailed close up pictures to go off of
