Technically speaking, building an AR pistol calls for the same

resources, tool set and instructional RENEW | as building an
AR ri�e. Because the build process is thoroughly covered in the
DONATE
previous article, this project was started with a di�erent set of
goals in mind.
Websites CLOE
I wanted to learn more about the legal issues home builders

need to Links
Quick be aware of before assembling a pistol. Next, I wanted
to explore AR-15 component and kit price points. For the
NRA Carr Guard
previous ri�e build I focused on a custom target ri�e with a
NRATV
relatively high price tag. This time I wanted to see how
manufacturers
Freedom's providing low and middle-priced options would
afest Place
perform in comparison to a more expensive custom build.
Finally, this was a great opportunity to test drive products from

manufacturers I haven't worked with before.
A Few

It always has been, and ever will be, the responsibility of the

The following information is by no means comprehensive but
CLOE
here are just a few things to remember:

A factory fresh AR lower receiver that has never been part
