THE AR-15 THE ldquoMODERN SPORTING RIFLErdquo
bull Until the early 1990rsquos most AR-15s were of the AR15-A2 configuration Fixed Carry Handle with integral Rear Sight Integral Front Sight Assembly No easy provision for optics
High mount on handle
bull The hot 90rsquos thing to get was an ldquoHBARrdquo Heavy Barrel AR Original military barrels were a lighter thinner configuration The heavier barrel was thicker and stiffer in the middle Giving it the
ability to be more accurate Military target shooters used the (Colt) HBAR configuration
Today heavy barrels are standard and light barrels are the option

My mid-90rsquos Eagle Arms AR15A2 HBAR ndash in all itrsquos evil registered Assault Weapon glory
COMMERCIAL GROWTH
bull 1994 ndash 2004 Federal ldquoAssault Weaponrdquo Ban bull ldquoDuring that decade which predictably saw no reduction in any
crime the ban produced another result ndash a massive consumer demand
bull When the ban vanished off the federal books in 2004 that demand was exponential
bull Where in the early 1990s only a handful of companies produced the AR-15 there are now thousands of companies producing rifles parts and accessories
bull There has never been anything like the aftermarket commerce for ARs which has become the most popular rifle in history
bull With each acquisition over the years the firearm that ldquofew people can envision a practical use forrdquo has become ubiquitousrdquo
bull ldquoThe ldquoassault weaponsrdquoissue was a self-fulfilling disaster for the anti-Second Amendment crowd ndash simply because when it was enacted honest Americans went on a buying spree that has never abatedrdquo

THAT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD DEAL
bull Will I Save Money by buying the Upper and Lower Assemblies Separately Not really It will likely cost you the same or a bit more if all the
components are equivalent However if you only bought one Lower and multiple Uppers you
would save money over buying another complete rifle of the new configuration
The benefit is being able to change calibers or barrel lengths depending on what you are shooting
You can even change it to a complete 22LR Upper for low-cost practicing or to teach new shooters how the rifle feels
7
bull Are There Any Drawbacks Not really It only takes 1or 2 minutes to change the Upper
Assemblies The only real drawback is not being able to let your friend shoot one of your other uppers
THATrsquoS ALL NICE BUT I REALLY WANT TO BUILD MY OWN AR-15hellipAND I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS bull Wonrsquot I Save Money by Building it Myself
Nope It will likely cost you the same or a bit more if all the components are equivalent If you upgrade then obviously more
bull Can I Use the Tools I Already Have in the Garage Some of them yes But you will need several specialty tools to do
the job correctly and without damaging the components bull Is it Hard
Not really hard You just need to take your time to do it correctly the first time (People in this very room have done it That should answer your question)
8
bull How Long Does it Take Maybe a couple of hours for your first Lower Assembly
Less than an hour once you do a couple more Uppers probably about the same depending on the type of fore end used but they require some additional tools

OR WE CAN BUY ONE LOWER RECEIVER ASSYhellip
hellipAND SEVERAL DIFFERENT UPPER RECEIVER ASSEMBLIES Bushmaster XM15 AR-15 A3 Upper Receiver Assembly 556x45mm NATO 16 Barrel $41999 (MidwayUSA)
DPMS AR-15 A3 Upper Receiver Assembly 223 Remington 1 in 9 Twist 20 Bull Barrel $61999 (MidwayUSA)
Olympic Arms AR-15 A2 Upper Receiver Assembly 223 Remington 20 Barrel $58699 (MidwayUSA)
Old School
Noveske AR-15 Rogue Hunter A3 Upper Receiver Assembly 300 AAC Blackout 16 Barrel $113050 (MidwayUSA)
Even Change Calibers Go Crazy
LMT L7DA4CA Defender Lower Receiver Assembly $59999 (Turners)
COMPLETE LOWER RECEIVER ASSEMBLY
PRICING NOTE Complete Lower Receiver Assemblies Ranged from $28999 - $54999 Riflegear (But their pictures were all facing the wrong directionhellip)
THAT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD DEAL
bull Will I Save Money by buying the Upper and Lower Assemblies Separately Not really It will likely cost you the same or a bit more if all the
components are equivalent However if you only bought one Lower and multiple Uppers you
would save money over buying another complete rifle of the new configuration
The benefit is being able to change calibers or barrel lengths depending on what you are shooting
You can even change it to a complete 22LR Upper for low-cost practicing or to teach new shooters how the rifle feels
7
bull Are There Any Drawbacks Not really It only takes 1or 2 minutes to change the Upper
Assemblies The only real drawback is not being able to let your friend shoot one of your other uppers
THATrsquoS ALL NICE BUT I REALLY WANT TO BUILD MY OWN AR-15hellipAND I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS bull Wonrsquot I Save Money by Building it Myself
Nope It will likely cost you the same or a bit more if all the components are equivalent If you upgrade then obviously more
bull Can I Use the Tools I Already Have in the Garage Some of them yes But you will need several specialty tools to do
the job correctly and without damaging the components bull Is it Hard
Not really hard You just need to take your time to do it correctly the first time (People in this very room have done it That should answer your question)
8
bull How Long Does it Take Maybe a couple of hours for your first Lower Assembly
Less than an hour once you do a couple more Uppers probably about the same depending on the type of fore end used but they require some additional tools
bull SohellipIf itrsquos Going to Cost Me More Money and Take Longer Why Do People Want to Build Their Own AR Peer pressurehellipjust want to be like everyone else Status Something to talk about at the Shooting Club And the Number One Answer ishellip
BECAUSE WE CAN WErsquoRE AMERICANS AND THATrsquoS WHAT WE DO
bull Itrsquos Like Building Anything with Your Hands The challenge The satisfaction The sense of pride The ability to create and express your own personality The opportunity to customize and modify Andhellipitrsquos fun

THANK YOU FOR THE PATRIOTIC INTERLUDE CAN WE START NOWhellipOK Then Letrsquos Get Started bull The First Thing We Will Start With is Building the Complete Lower
Receiver Assembly This is comprised of Stripped Lower Receiver ($4300 to $30000+) ndash more on this laterhellip Lower Receiver Parts Kit ($6000 Standard Mil-Spec Kit to over
$12500 or more for upgraded triggers and other components) Trigger Group Hammer Safety Magazine Release (with Bullet Button in CA) Trigger Guard Pistol Grip (most kits come with the standard Plastic Mil-Spec grip) Take-Down Pins Springs Roll Pins and Detent Pins
Receiver Extension (aka the ldquoBuffer Tuberdquo) ($1500 - $5000) Screws into Receiver and contains the Buffer and Buffer Spring Carbines use a shorter tube and also require a Buffer Tube Lock
Ring and Receiver End Plate Buffer ($1000 - $12000) ndash Heavy mass that retards the recoil impulse Buffer Spring ($500 - $1500) ndash Long and gangly carries Buffer Buttstock ($3000 - $30000) ndash Choices are endlesshellip
