AR15 Assembler check list

[dieselpower]

I know there was a list here at one time. I can't find it, so I just made another one. Several people have asked for one, so I figured I would just type one out. This is basically from memory so PLEASE if you spot an error tell me so I can change it. Copy this, paste it and print it. Then use it while you are buying all the parts for your next build.

The major Assembly is on the left, parts inside that assembly (SUB-ASSEMBLIES) are under tabbed to the right. So you can check to see if the part you are buying has all the sub-assemblies needed with it.

ar15builderpartslist.pdf <-- needs check box for lower itself, but isnt that big a deal This is for printing
AR15-SchematicPDF.pdf <-- Very nice visual ref.

Plz see post #4 for a clean copy of this,
#16 for an updated PDF file
Post #20 for a PDF with computer check boxes
and Post #24 for Brownell's own order form, its 14 pages long, this single page makes a great cover page for that!!!!

Good luck.

Mine I put in a diferent thread was a little less detailed

Upper consists of
[ ]Complete upper reciever
[ ]Complete Bolt Carrier Group
[ ]Charging handle
[ ]Barrel
[ ]Gas block
[ ]Gas block tube and roll pin
[ ]Flash suppressor and crush washer
[ ]Free float handguard
or
[ ]Delta ring, spring and retainer
[ ]Handguard
[ ]Handguard cap

Lower consists of
[ ]Stripped lower
[ ]Lower parts kit
[ ]Buffer, buffer tube and buffer spring
[ ]Buttstock
[ ]Bullet Button (for rifles with evil features)

To assemble the upper you will need some special tools
Upper receiver action block
Armorers tool

For the lower if you don't have an armorers tool you will need a buttstock wrench if you have a collapsible buttstock.

Yeah I know there was a check list here with a spot you could actually "check" off. When I get back from dinner i will try to work on making it look better with better tabs.

Yeah, thats what I am working on, also need to indent the subassemblies under the higher assembly. I am working on that now

[dieselpower]

THINK THATS DONE.

Thanks Don

[DeanW66]

I wouldn't mine converting to PDF once complete. And if not too large then put it in my attachments section.

[21SF]

Thanks for the hard work guys! Should keep some unnecessary post at bay.

Well Dean, I think between my list and Dons adding [ ] check boxes to the whole list, there is no reason to use my word doc. The only thing different is no ----- and the [ ] are circles.

still if anyone spots an error or missing assembly or sub-assemly tell me. I will edit the first post.

Thanks for the hard work

Finally got list into PDF

Sooo, how does this work for PDF version? I made it a single sheet, mult-column layout. Too bad the [IMG] tags don't work on PDF.

It's a great effort.

Otoh, the same posts will continue as few here know about internet search engines...9 v. .45, ar v. ak, 870 v. 500, etc.

Good holidays.

Just noticed no check off for the OLL itself...

I'll fix my first post if you can fix the PDF that would be great. I'll add the pdf when you have fixed it. If its going to cause problems on the 1 page thing dont bother. I feel the 1 page aspect is a big +
Also at the top add AR15A3 (Flat Top) I forgot to add the A2 BUIS parts to the upper and dont feel it needs to be there..

If you do tell me. Its nothing to add them but it does increase the list size.
