How To Build Your Own AR-15 From Scratch5
As a gun enthusiast, you’ve probably thought about
collecting if you are making the rounds to the gun
shows. Purchasing rifles and handguns for a collection
can be very expensive. The cost can add up after
a while and let's face it; some of those dealers
don't always inspire the most confidence and trust.
One interesting side hobby for gun enthusiasts is
constructing an AR-15 from kits. Here are five reasons
to consider building your own:
1. Save a boatload of cash.
This may sound counter-intuitive but you can save
over half the cost an AR-15 rifle by purchasing
the parts separately.
2. Uncle Sam is very kind to the individual gun
owner.
There are tax savings for purchasing parts and
putting your rifle together instead of purchasing
a full-blown weapon from a dealer. You save the
cost of the gun and the 11% federal excise tax
as well.
3. Learn all about your weapon from the inside
out.
If you have ever worked on a car, you know that
the experience gives you confidence and the knowledge
to maintain your automobile more effectively.
The same is true when you construct your own rifle.
4. Easily replace and/or repair components on
your weapon.
Once you are thoroughly familiar with your weapon,
you can tweak the calibration, replace the part
that does not quite fit your shooting style and
make adjustments as you go.
5. Customize the weapon the way you want it.
Once you are thoroughly familiar with the components
of your rifle, you can customize it any way you
want. The AR-15 is one of the most versatile weapons
available. You can make significant change ups
to it to fit your individual style.
The truth is; a one eyed chimp could probably
put together an AR-15.
I was able to get the parts organized, set up
the lower receiver, the stock, the upper receiver
and sights in about three hours after reviewing
the manual. If you know what you are, doing you
can get it done as well. Go ahead; impress your
friends who don't know any better.
This is just a taste of the possibilities for
building and modifying your AR-15. Now you can
avoid the taxes and the inconvenience factor and
get down to working on what you love. If you are
new to gun collecting why not learn from the experts.
You will have a greater appreciation for these
weapons when you've constructed them with your
own two hands. It's quite simple when you know
the secrets. If you have the skill to use a hammer
and screwdriver will show you how to build an
AR 15 before lunch.
