Been mulling over building my first AR-15 for a bit now. Finally starting to look at parts. It's a bit overwhelming honestly. There seem to be some decent deals, but I'm not sure what's a good buy and what's just hype.
I plan on keeping it simple to start, sticking with a 5.56 setup. I've heard that's a solid choice for beginners. Is that right? Or should I consider something else?
What brands should I steer clear of? I've seen so many opinions out there, it's hard to know who to trust. I'm also wondering about those hidden costs. You know, things that surprise you after you've already bought a few parts. Rookies make mistakes, and I'd rather learn from someone else's errors than my own.
Is it worth it to build my own or should I just grab a factory-made one? I want to put in the work, but I don't want to end up regretting it.
Would love to hear your experiences or any tips you learned the hard way. Thanks in advance!
