·I've never had a rifle of my own, and now I want one. Eventually I want to buy a bolt-action rifle for hunting, but for now, I want an AR-15 to play with and take to the range. I'm thinking about piecing one together starting with a stripped lower and a parts kit. I thought about buying one already put together, but I want to experience the fun of building one myself, little by little.
I'm thinking of ordering a stripped RRA forged lower receiver and a parts kit to start putting together the lower half. I plan to buy a complete upper half, so the lower is really going to be the "hard" part for me. Is this something that I can do on my own with no prior experience and still end up with a solid, reliable and accurate rifle?
I've heard a lot of talk about staking gas keys and castle nuts. Would this already be done for me if I were to order a complete RRA rifle already built from the factory? I would rather build it myself, so can this staking be done at home? How would I go about getting that done? Are there any instructions anywhere?
I guess that's it for now. I'm trying to work out how to go about getting a lower to an FFL dealer near me. I'll be posting more questions as they come up. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
