·I have been looking at some different AR sites, now my biggest questions is do I buy an assembled AR or should I buy parts and assemble one on my own, which is a better way to go?
I have plenty of mechanical skills, I went to a vo-tech school for machine shop, and I am/was an industrial electrician/mechanic, if that works.Do you know how to assemble one? If you don't have good mechanical skills it would be a bad idea for you to just jump into it. Do some reading here first.

I'm mechanically declined and the lower went together with ease. The upper is the part that requires more "skill"Do you know how to assemble one? If you don't have good mechanical skills it would be a bad idea for you to just jump into it. Do some reading here first.

Excellent!!! We have a winner!!!I have plenty of mechanical skills, I went to a vo-tech school for machine shop, and I am/was an industrial electrician/mechanic, if that works.
Thanks for the sites, i haven't seen those yet. I am starting to drool and my wife is really starting to hate me, thanks again.The best uppers I have ever seen come from JP.
The next would be from White Oak Armament or White Oak Precision.
That is why I am here!! To make wives hate their hubbys!!Thanks for the sites, i haven't seen those yet. I am starting to drool and my wife is really starting to hate me, thanks again.
You can build one buy why bother if you don't know exactly what you want. I actually like a pretty bare bones rifle for anything but a match. There are some Colt 6520's out there for $1100 or so. I like the Gov't Carbine. To me, it embodies the essence of what an AR is supposed to be: Light, reliable, handy, accurate and very shootable.

just buying the full upper and lower and putting them together yourself will save a few bucks
