Tools needed to bulid an AR-15

[John Wist]

I am thinking of bulding my own AR, but never having done it before I have a couple of questions. What tools are required and is there a refrence manual to show you how it is done?
Thanks

John,

You may want to search the AR General discussion area as there is a thread there that covers most if not all of what you just asked.

Took me about an hour and a half to assemble my lower receiver while going through the PDF on here...

Afer you get the tools, Brownell's and youtube have videos on how-to that really helped me.

Life, Liberty, Etc... also has a very nice video on how to assemble a lower...

I like this book. I had already built several (started in 94 with a bushmaster vhs tape and no tools! ) before I got it but it shows step for step including many tips and it shows all the parts and stuff so you can match up springs etc.

This is not a plug for midway, was just the first link to it that Google showed
