So about a year ago, I bought my first AR-15. I was totally new to the game and knew little about anything involving the gun. Since, I have really enjoyed shooting my gun and have enjoyed shooting it with others and sharing my experience.
I had originally decided that I was in a good place to buy a very nice gun that would essentially be a one and done AR-15. I had considered building my own, but decided against that and went with a complete Noveske upper and a custom Sionics lower with an SSA and A5 setup. The gun is sweet.
The more I shot my gun, the more I began to troll the marketplaces for good deals until I had eventually collected enough parts to build another gun. This is where I give a special shoutout to polymorphous, who hooked it up in a pay it forward thread and made this possible.
The gun I decided to build is going to be a gift to my little brother. He enjoys guns and was part of the local BB gun shooting team, making it to nationals, twice. He is now a petty officer 1 (soon to be Chief Petty Officer) in the Naval Sea Cadet program and is hoping to experience a military academy when he graduates high school. We have also hunted deer and elk together. The goal of this build was to put together a fun and reliable gun for my brother and I to shoot and spend some quality time together.

He will be getting this for Christmas, but it's all mine until then!
I just wanted to share this, since it is my first build. Maybe it'll bring some warm fuzzies to the pay it forward thread... I also wanted to thank all of those on the forum for the informative posts. It's places like this that help people like me do things like this!
