Been thinking about building my first AR-15 for a while now and finally starting to dive into parts. There are some good deals out there, but honestly, I still feel like I'm figuring it all out.
I'm planning on going for a basic rifle build, probably sticking with 5.56 for my first go. I've heard mixed things about going different calibers for a first-time build. Anyone have thoughts on that?
I'd love to know if there are any parts or brands I should steer clear of. Seems like some things are hyped up but don't really deliver, you know?
Also, what about hidden costs or mistakes that might pop up along the way? I'm worried about spending more than I need to or winding up with parts that don't fit well together. Should I just take the plunge and buy a pre-built one?
Any tips or stories from when you were starting out would really help me. Thanks!
