By "make" do you mean start with raw forgings, a barrel blank, and machine the whole thing; buying a lower, barreled upper, and some other parts and putting them together; or somewhere in between?

In my sig, go to the 1st post in that thread.

It has guides, how-tos, videos, step-by-steps, etc. for the lower (simple).

For the upper, there's a .pdf from Brownells that's quite good.

I wouldn't call putting together an AR really gunsmithing - it's too simple for that.

Somewhere between $900 and $20,000 depending on what you need to buy to finish it.
