So after 12 (or more) months of not buying any firearms I've decided to go out and start buying again. It's been way too long...too long.
I really want an AR15, but honestly can't drop $1500 in one go without my wife using it on me . So my plan is to get an M&P 15-22 this weekend to get a feel for the AR15 platform. I will then get a stripped lower and build my own "real" 223 AR15 over a few months. Not only will this be cheaper and spread the costs, but will help me understand the platform better.
So the question is is it really as easy as all the blogs say it is to build your own? I am technically minded.
