Im not a fan of ARs but I cant deny the utility side of the platform. So I am putting one together and self teaching a little gunsmithing along the way. Im a schooled and experienced machinist. Until now I have only changed out some parts and smoothed the trigger on a 1911, 22/45, 10/22 and a Marlin bolt 22. I have little doubt that I have the skills and machinery to do the job. I am a bit up in the air as to defining the tasks to be done.
1. Is there a recommended book that will help me through the build of an upper and give me some terminology so I can ask questions with the correct nomenclature?
2. I know its much easier to buy a complete upper but I want to put one together. Will this require reaming the chamber and fitting headspace etc...?
Outside of the upper is it pretty much assembling and fitting parts?
