·So I have been hearing a lot about AR fans. I have no military background and have read MANY forum postings and wikipedia articles, but cannot figure a few things out:
1) Maybe a loaded question, but what is the difference between an M-16, M4, M6, LWRC, CAR, A4, etc.?
2) I am looking at building one just because I think it is interesting to build one from scratch just to say "I built it myself" (even if from a complete "kit"). I am very mechanically inclined and have worked on many revolvers and semi-auto pistols. Can you save money by buying the parts? I realize that if you buy one and have to upgrade parts, that would raise the overall cost. My question refers to building one identical to an RRA spec or something.
3) I have seen that chart around here discussing the different makers. Most of it doesn't make any sense to me (i.e. bolt configurations, etc.) Are RRA and LMT good brands? What's the real difference?
4) I'm kind of looking at a RRA Gov't model.

Seems to have everything I would want on it and looks sweet! What price should I be looking at spending buying from ar15sales.com, etc. or building an identical one.
Maybe I'm in the wrong direction with this, and any guidance would be appreciated!
