So I want to give my hand at building my next AR from the ground up.
I'm already looking at a solid armorers guide as well as investing into some basic punches to get me started. Thus will be the first time I've ever tried something like this before.
Doing my homework, I've already picked up a barrel wrench that also assists with me installing the buffer tube.
Other than a brass head hammer as well as a few other basic tools, do you think there is anything else I should consider?
Barrel timing to my understanding is important, though I'm still trying to read up on exactly what it is (to my understanding it has to do with how the barrel is threaded and mated to the upper receiver.)
The most intimidating part of the build I think is assembly of the lower receiver and the trigger group. So any advice on making this process as easy as possible would be appreciated.
