I think we should stick with "assemble" not "build" when talking about AR's. Like adult Legos.

i bought one of the spikes uppers from joebob. it has a few blemishes but it was only 79. Assembled is a better word, need to order the barrel, and forend grip in the near future.

Try telling that to the stubborn little ejector on my rifle that I am going to have to bevel the edge on to keep it from hangin on case rims.

One of my Army buds was down over the weekend and mentioned he would like to build an AR because he didn't have one. We dug through all my cabinets and came up with over half the parts and we got the rest at the gun show on Sunday. We spent an hour putting it together and he took it home. Good times.

This,assembly would be more correct,although having the right tools and knowledge will give desired results.Lots of knowledge around if you look and they are fun to shoot!They are addicting to! BRD is serious,you'll have another in a few months,
Never say never!
