whatever,
If you want to give the OP some sound advice maybe we should be suggesting that he modify the AR that he claims to have. Instead of a complte from scratch build let him modify and make "his own rifle" from a working platform. something doesn't work he can always go backwards, new trigger group, new barrel, improved buffer, stock, handgaurd whatever. seems that hew oudl save money and time and still get some satisfaction from it.
Rockhound, I don't think I once ever said that I wasn't going to have any help with this build. The gunsmith at my local shop said he'd gladly help me put it together and show me how things are done. I've also had numerous members from this board offer me help with it as well, instead of being an arrogant dick about it because I don't know all there is to know about an AR.
You're right, I wasn't 100% sure what a BCG was when I first started getting the idea of the build, but it's all a learning process. I was simple asking what are the main differences between the two and which would be recommended. What parts am I wanting that are "illegal"?
You know what the best part about an online forum is? If you don't agree with what someone is doing or saying, you don't have to click on that thread and read about it.
I've admitted it on this thread before that I don't have experience with building an AR, but by no means does that make me a "newbie" with guns. Just because I haven't learned everything there is to know about them.
So, Rockhound, if you don't like what I'm doing don't bother posting in this thread and let the people on here that are actually helping me out with this build.
never said i did not like what you wanted to do. your post count and the fact that you said you are still learning how to take your ar apart threw red flags, i read damn near everything you posted and it seems as though you are not clearly proficient in weapon or an AR
and you are correct, everyone has an opinion. the fact that i had a different one does not mean you have to listen to it. the fact that you are planning to use professional help did not come accross clearly to me at least at all.
I have a different opinion as to whether it was a smart thing to do based on the information given.
We all do have a differing opinion, you are free not to accept mine also, that is what makes the forum fun. Rather than getting in a huff or telling someone to get off the thread, another way to handle it would to say thanks for the concern for my safety, i will take the care to make sure my build is done safely.
My only concern was that we were not encouraging a true newbie to just jump in and in over their head and in some way get themselves hurt. [Beer]
This thread used to be so helpful for my own build.
Can't we all just get along?
I'm fine with everything right now. I just don't need someone coming in here saying it's a bad idea for a "newbie" to do an AR build.
I'm good to continue on with this thread like we had it going though haha
Gotta agree with this. If I had it to do over I would buy a complete factory rifle and lots of ammo. Then down the road get a nice optic.Quote:

I already own an AR. I've got a lot of range time with it and that's why I'm wanting to build one. I want something better but I still want the one I've got to mess around with.Quote:
