I feel it would be a better option to just ask about what AR parts you need to build a whole one. I've looked through the riflegear site and my local site and I really can't grasp the whole. If you or Cory could give me a quick run down of how one is compiled I'd be excited to start planning.

-Lower receiver
-Assembly pins
-Trigger assembly
-Safety
-Stock
-Buffer tube
-Buffer and spring
-Magazine
-Pistol Grip
-Upper receiver
-Sights (A1/A2, or BUIS)
-Bolt carrier/bolt assembly
-Barrel/extension/locknut
-Handguards with lockring/rail setup
-Gas tube
-Front sight block
-Muzzle device (optional)

I think that's about it.

Some of the parts above are contained together in "kits", like a lower receiver kit will have everything to build a bare lower.

Honestly though, if you are just learning about AR's I'd buy a complete upper receiver and a complete lower receiver. You get pretty much the exact rifle you want, for a slightly cheaper price.

After buying an 11" Troy TRX Extreme on Black Friday and disassembling my rifle, I found I have a 16" HBAR. After much deliberation, I decided to machine the barrel down myself to a mid-weight barrel. I'm satisfied with the results

Modifications also include chopping off the front sight block.

I know I don't have a front sight yet but I ordered a Troy folding one and it'll be here on Wednesday, along with a QD sling mount for the new hand guard.

A lower is a lower. 80% of them are made in the same place, you're just paying for the rollmark.

That being said I've never heard bad things about Spike's lowers.

They are great guns to build. You need some special tools to build the upper (barrel wrench/upper vice block), so I recommend getting a complete upper receiver, a bare lower receiver and a Lower Parts Kit / Stock. One hour build at most.

Thats pretty much the route I was going to take. Thanks for the heads up.

anyone have any suggestions for a pistol?
I'm thinking a .40 or 9mm, debating on whether or not getting a gun small enough to conceal/debating how much I want to spend on ammo.
I was really looking into s&w .40 cal, saw they were in the mid 400 dollar range.
anything else i should research? i have been reading everything about every make of pistol I see, are there any to stay away from? any cheaper makes that are worth checking out?
I have a lot of friends with lots of gun knowledge, but I figured I would see what you guys might suggest.

I recently bough a rock island armory 1911 in .45 and i have had no problems and have heard no other complaints about them. they are pretty cheap... especially for a 1911.

i really like the m&p series i keep going back an forth on getting rid of my steyr for one. i really like my steyr but it has goofy sights on it and every time i shoot any other handgun i have to re learn them.
