When I first thought about getting an AR, I thought getting a complete upper and building up the lower would be a good idea. It didn't look to hard and I thought it would be good experience so I did it. I'm glad I did. It isn't anything fancy, just a no frills gun built with decent components. I picked up an LMT carbine upper for $400, spikes lower and F/A BCG, a DD LPK, BCM charging handle, Magpul furniture and MBUS Gen 2 rear sight. If you can follow directions, make sure you function check as you go, you should be good to go. I did have access to a friends workshop with vice blocks, etc. but didn't use it because he lives in the glorious republik of mass. and I didn't feel like being a felon. I picked up a few tools to make the job easier and couldn't be happier with my first AR.
