Taught both of mine to build their own guns at an early age.My son and I assembled a lower last night .
Mostly to clean up my bench area and show him the internals of the thing.
The only two things that took time were the bolt release roll pin and the trigger pin. We had not tools to other than tweezers for small parts, a brass hammer and piece of rod from something or other used as a punch.
I got an assembled upper from a member here as it was cheaper than what I could have bought the parts for and had good reviews.
A buddy is talking about assembling one. I will refer him to this thread for suggestions in parts selection as there is so much out there.
It was a good bonding moment between the kid and I . My hands shake so much from meds that I was of little help plus he can now say he put one together.

Brands baby, what'd ya get?So, I have ordered the Lower.
The handguards, the BCG.
A barrel.
The upper.
I ordered an Eotech and a Vortex magnifier.
Gas Tube.
I wouldn't pay more than $20 for an upper parts kit and unless the FCG was something special, I wouldn't pay more than $50-ish for an lpk, especially if you want to do a different FCG.Having a tough time figuring out which lower/upper parts kit to order....
So many to choose from, not sure if it makes that much difference?
Ranging in prices from $20 all the way through the roof!
Muzzle devices for 223 are nearly ornimentalAs of right now, everything is on order minus the muzzle device. Not sure which to go for.
There is a device from Odin works that i like... ODIN Works ATLAS
All told, $545, without the optics.

Odin Works makes some really nice stuff. They make a great adjustable gas block. As far as muzzle brakes being ornamental,,,,they worked great on my guns especially on the low recoil 204. It made follow up shots while looking through the glass much easier when whacking chucks.As of right now, everything is on order minus the muzzle device. Not sure which to go for.
