    AR for Dummies

    Is there an AR for dummies, or a youtube link, or something? I see lots of guys builds, but I need something more like a step-by-step. Obviously this would be a very small budget, but would probably be built over the course of a year or so. Basically if I work a side job and make $50, instead of buying a few lunches, I'll buy parts for an AR, but don't even know where to start.

            You can buy lots of cheap parts from ebay.

                  I built one buying parts and watching YouTube videos. You have to watch buying parts little at a time because shipping can really blow up you budget in a hurry...free shipping deals are your friend. It is hard to build one as cheap and as good as you can find in places like Palmetto State Armory for a complete lower with Magpul furniture and a complete upper at a hand full of mail order places after watching for sales.

                      Very true, and needs to be factored in...

                            Shipping is worse than tax most of the time

                              Everything has been covered for the most part. Do not try to save money on the trigger or you will not like shooting your finished product. I typically say the same thing on barrels, but for a budget build - your call!

                              Have fun! If you need anything at all PM me and we can chat. I am sure there are others on the board with more experience but I have built my fair share!
