Newbie question

[Blimey]

Thanks all for your inputs!

I am handy and once I understand how the gun works, I should have no problem putting it together. Do you have any web site to teach me how to start to build one? And, do I still need a background check or different legal procedures if I build one myself?

I assume they're still up. There are a few youtube videos that cover it in very good detail, then you just need to google "AR15 parts list" and it will tell you what bits you need. The lower is the only part that is serialized and you can get that at a local shop and pass the background check for that. I concur with above about building. It's really not too difficult and you'll know how it works.

Get a Thordsen Stock. Some people have opinions on other stocks, but they would be incorrect. As a non-fixed stock it's the best one to get. I'd get the original one, personally.

All good options, mainly depends on your usage. Mine is casual, hits a decent sized target X yards away. No precision or very accurate.

@knuts depends on the county. Onondaga didnt require purchase prior to getting permit. But you can always do an AR pistol build after you get your first rifle

We live in the same county, he will need to buy one before applying.

If you're going featureless be careful what you order as far as a completed upper might be concerned.

A muzzle device like a flash hider or brake is considered a feature so you will need to remove and replace with a thread protector or something similar.

Dependent on the county and town, you may have to have your references be from the same town you live in.

Like I know cheektowaga residents have to have their references also live in town


As if they're trying to make the process difficult...
