Building an AR-15: A Guide to the Parts

Building an AR-15 A Guide to the Parts

Building an AR-15 is an exciting endeavor that allows you to customize your rifle according to your needs and preferences. In addition to being a fun task, it can help you learn more about the inner workings of a semi-auto rifle and get more for your money. Whether you are a seasoned gunsmith or a novice enthusiast eager to embark on your first build, this guide will walk you through some of the most important steps of building an AR-15 rifle. From the initial considerations to the essential parts categories, we will cover everything you need to know to create a personalized and reliable firearm.

Considerations Before Building an AR 15

Before we jump into the parts you need to build your AR-15, there are some important factors you need to consider. Regardless of your level of experience with guns or gunsmithing, these are important details that will dictate some of the process:

Firearm Laws

Familiarize yourself with federal, state, and local laws regarding firearm manufacturing and ownership. When setting out on a project like this, you want to make sure you’re compliant with all regulations and obtain any necessary permits or licenses before commencing your build.

Purpose

Determine the purpose of your AR-15 build. Whether it’s for target shooting, home defense, or competitive shooting, your intended use might influence the selection of some of your parts and accessories in your AR build.

Skill Level

Assess your skill level and comfort with the assembly process. If you’re a beginner, it’ll be easier to assemble your rifle using parts/components that are previously assembled. While this can vary depending on your comfort level and ambition, using complete uppers and lowers can make it easier for you to put together and customize your rifle with less risk of damaging or losing small parts. 

Essential Parts Categories for an AR-15 Rifle

Now that we’ve looked at some of the things to consider before starting an AR-15 build, it’s time to take a look at the parts themselves. While these can vary some based upon the type of rifle you’re building and the style you’re going for, every AR-15 needs these basic components to be a functional rifle.

AR-15 Lower Receivers

The AR-15 lower receiver serves as the foundation of your AR-15 build and houses the trigger group, magazine well, and pistol grip. It is regulated as the firearm’s serialized part, meaning it’s registered and must be purchased through a licensed dealer with the same legal processes required to purchase a full gun. While there are many different options out there for lower receivers, it’s important to get one that’s sturdy and high-quality to assure proper performance of your finished rifle. 

As previously mentioned, you have the option of getting a stripped lower receiver, which needs to be completed with things like the trigger assembly, mag release, bolt catch, buffer tube, grip, and stock. It provides more of a blank template for your build but requires more work since all of these pieces need to be added on during assembly.  

The alternative option is to buy a complete lower, which has all the previously mentioned parts already installed much of the time. Though all the parts can still be swapped out at any point during assembly or down the road, it provides you with the pieces you need to have a complete and operational lower. While the overall cost may be a little higher, remember that this keeps you from having to spend extra on a buffer tube, stock, trigger assembly, etc.

We’re going to look at a few receivers for each category, so you have some options to choose from when looking for a lower.

Aero Precision Enhanced complete Lower w/Magpul Grip and Stock

Aero Precision Enhanced complete Lower w/Magpul Grip and Stock

This Aero Precision Enhanced complete lower is a great example of a complete lower. It features a black anodized receiver that delivers great durability. Additionally, It features a Magpul STR adjustable stock and a Magpul grip.

Another great option for your AR build, this Anderson Manufacturing complete lower is a milspec lower that’s built with durability in mind. It features more of a traditional M4-style stock and grip, and has a CNC machined aluminum receiver with an anodized finish. Since it’s milspec, it’s built for compatibility with other milspec AR parts.

Aero Precision Stripped Lower Receiver Gen 2

Aero Precision Stripped Lower Receiver Gen 2

For those looking to start their build with a stripped lower receiver, this Aero Precision AR 15 lower is a great choice! It’s a sturdy build, with 7075-T6 anodized aluminum. It’s also multicaliber, allowing you to build an AR in the caliber you choose, rather than being relegated to only assembling a 5.56/.223 build (though keep in mind, your bolt carrier group and barrel will ultimately determine the caliber of your gun). It’s a great option for those looking to build a quality AR-15 without breaking the bank.

Spikes Tactical Punisher Stripped Lower Receiver

Spikes Tactical Punisher Stripped Lower Receiver

Another option for a stripped lower receiver, for those who want some additional flair, is this stripped lower from Spikes Tactical. It has the Punisher logo and color fill on the safety indicators. Speaking of these indicators, there’s an additional fire-mode spot for those that want to do a build with a binary trigger system. It also delivers great durability, featuring the same 7075-T6 aluminum and anodized finish of the Aero but with the additional features we described.

AR 15 Upper Receivers

The next part of the build we’re going to look at is the upper receiver. The upper receiver houses the bolt carrier group, charging handle, handguard, barrel, and gas system. It connects with the lower receiver to complete the AR-15 platform. Just like the lower receiver, the upper receiver’s quality and compatibility are vital for a properly functioning firearm. Additionally, like we mentioned previously about the lowers, you can either purchase a complete upper receiver or you can purchase the stripped upper and individual parts if you want to do the full assembly. We’ll take a look at a few of our top options to help you decide which is best for you.

Aero Precision M4E1 Complete Upper 5.56 NATO w/M-LOK Handguard

Aero Precision M4E1 Complete Upper 5.56 NATO w/M-LOK Handguard

The barrel also comes threaded with a standard A2 flash hider. Additionally, keep in mind that any of these parts can be easily swapped for extra levels of customization. However, this option still requires the purchasing of a bolt carrier group and charging handle, which we’ll look at later.

Spikes Tactical Complete Upper 5.56 NATO

Spikes Tactical Complete Upper 5.56 NATO

This upper also comes with a 16-inch barrel and a mid-length gas system. Also important to note, this upper features the charging handle and an M16 complete BCG (bolt carrier group), meaning you can easily drop it on a complete/completed lower and have a finished AR build.

AR 15 Bolt Carrier Group (BCG)

The BCG consists of the bolt, carrier, gas key, and firing pin. It facilitates the loading, firing, and extraction of rounds in the rifle. A high-quality BCG that matches your intended use and is compatible with the chosen barrel and caliber is essential for the reliable and consistent cycling of the firearm. This bolt carrier group will need to be in the same caliber as the upper and barrel to ensure compatibility and safety. Here are two options we like for a standard build:

Summer AR-15 Rifle Series Part 1: Daniel Defense & Sig Sauer

The AR-15 rifle has become one of the most popular firearms in America. It is versatile, customizable, and can be used for hunting, target shooting, and home defense. The AR-15 is a semi-automatic modern sporting rifle that is designed for civilian use, but it is also used by law enforcement and military personnel.

The most common caliber for the AR-15 rifle is .556 or .223, which is are small, high-velocity rounds that are known for accuracy and low recoil. While .223 Remington and .556 NATO ammo look similar, they are not interchangeable. The .556 NATO cartridge has higher pressure and velocity than .223 Remington, which can cause issues if the wrong ammunition is used in a firearm chambered for .223 Remington. Both calibers are popular for target shooting and hunting small game, and are also used by law enforcement. Another popular caliber for AR15s is 308 Win, which is a larger caliber that is popular for hunting larger game.

There are many great brands that manufacture AR15 rifles, including Colt, Smith and Wesson, Ruger, Sig Sauer, Springfield Armory, and Daniel Defense. These brands offer high-quality firearms that are reliable and accurate. However, there are also value brands like American Tactical Imports and Radical Firearms that offer high-quality yet affordable options for those on a budget.

Over the course of this 3-part blog series from GrabAGun.com, we will cover the different brands and different models of the AR-15 rifle, as well as accessories and upgrades that can be added to enhance their performance.

Eight Must-Have AR-15 Accessories

One of the best reasons to own an AR-15 is so that you can outfit it with all the parts you want to make it truly your own. There are thousands of accessories, creating millions of different possible weapon customizations. Some owners even buy all of their AR-15 parts separately, then construct the firearm at home. Whether you are building your weapon from scratch or upgrading a new or old model you own, here are some AR-15 parts to help you customize your rifle to be one hell of a weapon.

AR Uppers

Perhaps the most recognizable part of your AR-15 rifle is its rail/upper. Here is where many of the accessories you attach to your weapon will be found. AR-15 uppers can be any range of items. Some of the big ones include:

  • Sights and optics. What you intend to do with your rifle (hunting, sport shooting, home defense, etc.) will help dictate which of the many rifle scopes or other types of optics you want to put on your firearm. Typically, there are some base iron sights that can stock out most versions of the AR, but you can upgrade to some of the more advanced sighting options available, like red dot sights or optical scopes.
  • Sound suppressors. Sound suppressors attach to the end of the barrel, so we are including them on the list here. They can be a great way to improve your hunting trips or just reduce some of the noise damage you inflict on your ears.

AR Lowers

On the lower, you can find the trigger housing including the trigger guard and butt of the weapon. AR-15 lowers do not make as noticeable visual changes as the uppers do, but this is where the feel of the weapon in your grip can really be adjusted.

  • AR Triggers. An AR-15 trigger is another accessory that many people might not think to customize is the trigger; if you’ve spent any time shooting a firearm, though, you’ll know that triggers can vary greatly. The main way they differ is in the amount of pressure required to make the weapon fire. There are also several types of actions, such as single or double, that can impact the trigger. You can put the trigger you desire on your AR so you know exactly what is required to make your weapon fire.
  • AR Stocks. Sometimes called the buttstock or shoulder stock, this is the part of the rifle that makes contact with your shoulder. Having an AR-15 stock that rests firmly and comfortably on your shoulder is ideal for any sustained shooting. This can impact your ability to shoot accurately and effectively if you do not have the stock you need. Not only that, but this can also alter the appearance of your AR.

AR Magazines

Extra ammunition is always a good idea. The ability to access it quickly is an even better idea. That’s part of the reason that AR-15 magazines make the list. Like pretty much everything else for the AR, there is a wealth of options to select from. You will want to think about the size and material that the magazine is made out of when determining which is right for you.

AR Slings

An AR sling might seem like an insignificant addition to your AR-15, but carry your weapon in your hands for a couple hours while out on the hunt and you will reconsider choosing a sling. Not only will it make your firearm more comfortable to carry, but the right sling can allow you to access your weapon more efficiently when you need to have it in firing position quickly.

AR-15 accessories can distinctly change the form and function of your weapon. Once you have a good grasp on how you intend to use your rifle and what feels comfortable when you shoot, you can begin to outfit your AR with some of the many accessories you can find. Once you do, you will have a weapon that is completely customized to your needs and that is uniquely your own.

Which is Better? AR-10 Vs. AR-15

“If you think the AR-15 is too much, get the AR-10. That is five fewer ARs”

As two of the most popular and successful guns on the market, the AR-10 and AR-15 have always been pitted against each other. There has been a long lasting debate on whether the AR-10 or AR-15 is “better”, with some saying the power and distance of the AR-10 outmatches the versatility and maneuverability of the AR-15 or vice versa. Let’s break down these ARs and see what the difference is between the two.

Here at GrabAGun, we are looking to match the right gun with our customers needs, including an assortment of the best AR 10s, AR 15s, bulk ammo, AR-10 magazines, and AR-15 magazines available! Get your favorite guns for sale online at GrabAGun!

History of The AR 

Many people are under the impression that AR stands for “Assault Rifle”, but in reality it stands for “Armalite Rifle”, for the company at which it was founded. Armalite was established in 1954 when they built the AR-1, a weapon developed for paratroopers. After many variations of this rifle, including the popular AR-7 survival rifle, Armalite eventually built the infamous AR-10.

The AR-10 was created to compete with the AK-47s and M14s used during the Vietnam War. Not only was the AR-10 a smaller and lighter gun to carry, but it was more accurate than other rifles that used gas piston technology. The AR-10 used the direct impingement system which piped gas directly into the receiver, which then cycled into the bolt carrier. Chambered for the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge, this rifle was a full pound lighter than other military rifles. The long-range capability actually makes the AR-10 a favorite for long-range shooters. Looking for AR 10 or AR 15 rifle deals? Go to GrabAGun.com and shop now!

The AR-10 had plenty of influence in new models of the AR. With the newly developed and lighter 5.56 NATO rounds, there was a request to use this new chambering in a new AR, and thus the AR-15 was born. The AR-15 was way lighter than the AR-10 and used lighter 5.56 NATO ammo. In 1959, Colt bought the rights to the AR-10 and AR-15 to start production for civilian use. The AR-15 has now become one of the most famous rifles in the US with almost 20 million AR-15 style rifles in circulation. Interested in an AR 10 or AR 15 rifle? Get an AR and bulk 5.56 ammo for sale online at GrabAGun!

The AR-10 and AR-15

While most people have a preference for either the AR-10 or the AR-15, both have similar internal functions and external styles. For example, they both have a rotating bolt design, use the same trigger group, are customizable, and many ARs have interchangeable parts. However, the significant difference between the two is the caliber, which leads to differences in things like rifling, weight, and ballistic performance. Today, these rifles are available in a variety of chamberings outside of their initial calibers which can lead to minimal differences even between different AR-10s or AR-15s

Why Should You Buy The AR-10?

Looking at the differences between a .223 Rem/5.56 NATO AR-15 and the .308 Win AR-10, the AR-10 excels at long distance shooting. With heavier ammunition, the AR-10 has a longer effective range. So, this probably isn’t a great home defense weapon unless BigFoot is trying to steal your fridge. While the heavier ammo leads to longer range accuracy, this makes the rifle heavier and the capacity lower. When you shop for an AR-10, you are mostly going to find .308 Win magazines with 20-rounds or lower. AR-10s can also have more proprietary parts depending on the manufacturer, so more research may be required if you are building a rifle instead of buying a complete AR. If you are a hunter, a long range target shooter, and someone who doesn’t mind a heftier weapon, the AR-10 may be the better option for you! Get an AR 10 for sale from GrabAGun along with your bulk .308 Win ammo and spare magazines today!

Why Should You Buy The AR-15?

The AR-15 overall is more popular than the AR-10 and is one of the most popular firearm platforms in the US. The AR-15 is inexpensive as it is easy to shoot. The ammo is cheaper and it is a little easier to find spare parts and mags. There is great interchangeability between different manufacturer’s parts if you are building an AR-15 as well. With a lighter 5.56 NATO round, the AR-15 is usually lighter and you will be able to find higher capacity 30-round magazines. Even though it is considered a shorter range weapon than the AR-10, the AR-15 is still highly effective between 300 and 500 yards. The AR-15 is well equipped for predators and varmints, but isn’t the best for hunting deer or larger animals. It is also less awkward in close quarters, making it a great home defense weapon, and offers more accurate and faster shots. If you are a target shooter, are looking for a home defense weapon, or just need something lighter, the AR-15 could be the better option! Get your AR 15 for sale at GrabAGun today. We have everything you need for an AR 15 at the prices you’ll love!

Which is Better?

At the end of the day, both of these guns are great when performing the tasks that they are made for. For example, the AR-15 is amazing when you are walking long distances or maneuvering on rough terrain. However, the AR-10 is amazing when hunting bigger game or needing to shoot accurately at long distance. Do you enjoy hunting big game or are you looking for a more accurate weapon at 750 yards? The AR-10 is for you. Are you looking for a gun that is easier to shoot, cheaper, and has better maneuverability at ranges under 500 yards? Then definitely get the AR-15. You can go back and forth all day on the pros and cons of these rifles because they truly are two sides of the same coin. So, when it really comes down to it, it is completely up to you and what you are needing in a new rifle. If you still can’t decide which one to get, maybe ask yourself, “why not both?”

Best Of: AR-15 Lowers

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced gun builder, picking the right AR lower is important for your rifle build. Not sure what exactly you are looking for? GrabAGun has you covered! Our online store offers stripped and fully assembled lower receivers made of high quality materials from the best in the business. Shop online at GrabAGun today and receive the best deals on your AR-15 lowers and AR-15 parts kits

What is a Lower Receiver?

Shopping for a lower and other AR-15 accessories can either be a fun or a daunting process depending on your experience level. Even though there are many lowers to choose from, each shooter can individualize their rifle with a lower that features designs and accessories that reflect their personality. An AR lower receiver, or lower, is the bottom half of your AR rifle build. You can choose to buy a stripped lower and then complete it with your choice of parts kit, stock, grip, trigger, and receiver extension, or you might prefer to purchase a complete lower that is fully assembled and ready to go! With the addition of a complete upper, you will be ready to add sights or your optic of choice, and then shoot your new rifle. It is important to note that the AR lower receiver is serialized and is subject to regulation.

Lowers come in different colors, finishes, and materials that can change the look and feel of your entire gun. Some lowers even have eye-catching designs etched into them that will make your AR the most unique rifle at the range! Depending on how you plan to use your AR-15, you want to make sure you get the correct lower that fits your needs. There are typically three types of lower receivers: 

Forged Billet Polymer
Forged aluminum receivers are the most popular type of lower. Superheated and hammered into the shape of a lower, these receivers are typically lighter than Billet receivers and are the strongest. However, the lower has to be chiseled down after forging to take off any excess aluminum. This can lead to imperfections in the fit and finish if too little or too much aluminum is taken off. Billet receivers are usually milled out of a block of aluminum. Since these lowers are milled by machines, they are extremely precise and are highly customizable. However, they can be a bit heavier due to excess materials usually used for a design on the lower. They are technically less strong than a forged receiver since the aluminum isn’t hammer forged. The polymer receivers are cut from polymer instead of aluminum. These are still fairly new and are much weaker than the other two. While these are still catching on in popularity, these lowers are much cheaper and lighter. This makes them a great option for a shooter on a budget or for someone wanting a lightweight build.

In the end, it is up to you to decide which type of receiver fits your AR-15 build. Go to GrabAGun online to check out all types of AR-15 lowers and get the best deal today!
