Build Home
If you want to build an AR, you’ve come to the right place.
We assume that you have reviewed the Design section of this site and have a good idea what you want to build. If you have not reviewed the Design section, please head there first, and come back when you’ve finished.
Start Here
There are a few very simple things you need to know before you even think about building. Here we will review the 5 things you need to know before you start.
There are a couple of topics that are important to consider if you are building an AR yourself. These include the tools, materials, and practices needed to build an AR. We will cover these so that you are ready to build your AR, the right way, and right the first time.
Build Considerations
Build BOM
We have curated a wide range of options for each of the AR classes. We offer options for:
- Pistols, Carbines, and Rifles.
- Pistol Caliber (AR-9), AR-15, and AR-10/LR308.
- Finish levels comparable to our builds, ranging from Mil-Spec to Competition.
Our build bills of materials are based on PBA assemblies and build kits, and are rigorously tested to ensure compatibility and performance. We provide you with the links to everything that you need to build YOUR dream gun.
Once you have all of the tools, materials, and components in hand, its time to start building. We have built many ARs and we want to share that experience with you. We walk you through the process of building an AR, step by step, from the installation of the first part to the dry fire function check.
