I’m relatively new to guns (own an XD .9mm and .40sc) and have zero knowledge of rifles. Is there any one source where I can go and read up on them (like difference between ar15 and m4)? I’m mostly interested in learning the parts, what they do, what to purchase, and finally how to assemble one. Any suggestions?

go to ar15.com. Find the forums for the ar15 general discussion and read. There is a few good articles there on how to assemble your own lower from the parts kit, including video. I am in a similar situation with you that I only own 1 handgun (before it got lost in that boating accident) and might be interested in an AR15. I've done a lot of reading online. Also, get together your questions and go visit Dan at Gun Connection, him or someone there can answer anything.

Wiki gives a good primer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_Carbine

When it comes to firearms, there can be no stupid question. My thoughts are it is better to ask the dumb question and risk being laughed at, then making an assumption and potentially hurting yourself or someone else.

Try AR15.com under the "Build it yourself" section. It has a detailed part by part section on how to build your own AR. Also you can read about other shooters, what they like and didn't like about parts and kits.

http://www.ar15.com/forums/board.html?b=3

Also try the "Rifle" section of MDS...you'll have to read back but when I was looking to build my first EBR, many of hte questions I had were answered here.

Thank you both!

GREAT VIDEOS!!!! I wish I had this last night, would have cut my build time in 1/2. I was going by AR15.com building instructions and by memory.

THANKS!

and me..........unless I stop in the Easton Armory on the way and grab one from the vault

I hope they ban does not come and all the manufactures keep producing so there will be a bubble. The we can buy complete rifles for ~$550-670.

Maybe the founders will use their super powers to stop the Federal government from doing things that they are not supposed to do. I don't know what else can stop them, voter turn out in a couple years?

I think it will work out for us.

LMT Defender 2000. Accurate Pawn price $1395. Said he ordered back in November. Received 24 last Thursday.

txiyo · Feb 8, 2009

I went to all the dealers today, they jacked up their prices so much. A bushmaster that used to cost ~$900 is not averaging $1800.

****ing free market, obama should be subsidizing my AR.

I have an unfired Bushmaster AR-15 M4A3 Patrolmans Carbine in the classifieds section.

thats a hell of a deal, if I didn't have a LMT waiting to clear, I'd pick that up in a heartbeat <fighting urge to spend more money on guns...it's hard!>

Actually, I may be contacting you regardless after I head to Capitol Hill and see if I can get in on this "Stimulus" package! :-)

IC,

THANKS to everyone who PM'd Me and posted on here.

But, I believe that I've lost hope on the AR.

Complete uppers are no where to be found, complete rifles that are usually around $750 are now jacked up to $1,200 plus, and most places online are sold out of all the good parts.

I took a hard look at my self and realized that I already owned 5 Mosins and liked Russian things. So I just bought this nice Romanian WASR 10/63 AK.

I cleaned it and oiled it, then took it to Hap Baker, where it performed very nice. I think the TAPCO fire control group and chrome lined barrel make the difference.

So for now I'm stopping the AR project until I can buy a complete one for under $800 or get a descent upper at a reasonable price. Let's for for the gun bubble to burst.

My AR project stops here (Stag Complete Lower + 6 30rnd mags & 500rnds of .223)

My stamped and milled AK Project(s) are finished here & here

I wish anyone looking for an AR or AR parts the best of luck, and even better luck with the prices.

So, I think I want to turn this into an AK thread. I have 2 stamped Ak's now.

Anyone know what hand guards are good or where to buy them from (for WASR's). I say some ok ones on cheaper than dirt.

I was going to get a few things
