[PURCHASING FIRST GUN] AR-15

Well that bullet button will only be good for the remainder of this year. Unless you plan to register you'll eventually need to get the stuff for one of the other solutions. Let's just hope those solutions are good ones.

Oh, yea, like you mentioned though, no point in doing that until a lawyer gives the green-light.

I'm probably going to get this book for building an AR-15: http://www.networksolutions.com/SSL-...-guarantee.jsp


So does everything here look right, or is there anything else you think I would need?
E.g. Specific type of hammer, punches, etc...?

If you are just doing one lower, really not worth the 80% route.

Buy a complete rifle. Should be plenty in the for sale section here.

Personally I would buy a complete rifle, learn how it operates, get familiar with it, and learn how to use it properly before even considering building your first AR, let alone making a 80% lower. My first AR was a Colt LE6920 and I can tell you from experience that it is one solid, dependable, and accurate rifle.
