A buddy of mine down in N Carolina picked up his first AR just before this recent madness. I've got several books on the AR myself but what would be a good book to recommend for someone who is a new AR owner?

As for build info I found the forums to have plenty of info.
Ar15.com here on nes and you tube
I did find a few books at my library that where very interesting.
One was the history of the AR15 the other was more about stoner himself and armalite.
I was shocked at the number of books available in the library network.
I would find out what he wants to know. How to build them, shoot them, fix them ect ect

The Marine Corp Tech Manual. TM-05538C-23&P/2 (I think)
Seriously, everything that is known about the AR. And it's cheap.
Beyond that, Glen Zediker's "The Competitive AR15; The Mouse That Roared" will tell you everything you need to know about making one accurate.

Great little resource for someone who is new.

Anyone familiar with this one:
The AR-15 Complete Assembly Guide (AR-15 Guide Vol 2): Walt Kuleck: 9781888722123: Amazon.com: Books
It seems to have good reviews on Amazon, anyway.

I have it. It's a good book for a newbie builder.
Tom,
I have both books by Kuleck on the AR. Both are excellent.
If you want to borrow them, let me know.
