Just out of curiosity, when you say "properly assemble," are you talking about a) the task of physically assembling the parts, or b) selecting quality parts, or c) both?
I agree that there are plenty of gunsmiths who really don't know what's what when it comes to the quality differences between different parts. I'm a little less clear about gunsmiths having difficulty with physically assembling the parts. I mean, I understand how some people can't even tie their shoes, and some of them claim to be gunsmiths. I've met several who claim to do trigger jobs, and they've certainly done "the job" to plenty of triggers.
But in general, ARs seem relatively simple to assemble, regardless of parts quality. So if a lot of gunsmiths don't know how physically assemble an AR properly, could you tell us what they tend to do that isn't proper? I want to know so I can double-check own work. I'm not a gunsmith, but I do my own basic work on my own gear, so I want to make sure I'm doing it properly.
Thanks.

The AR (in theory) is very simple to build. This is the trap IMHO. Yes, people build them all day long and most times they run. Did they build them WELL though? No they didn't and is really a testament to the AR that it can be assembled half-ass and still run.Quote:

If you want to learn how to do it, attend a professionally taught armorers class. Colt, Ned C., etc come to mind. Then build your own gun over and over and over.

Colt or BCM and Daniel Defense are the best of the best.
