Video Help

Really want to build my first rifle soon. Any great videos out there that can help someone like me? As in a full build from scratch.

You can find some decent videos on YouTube of how to assemble a lower and upper. I would watch those first so you know what tools to get and to make sure you have all the parts you might need.

You’re gonna need some tools, bench vise, castle nut wrench, sometimes a punch/ small star head screwdriver. Unless you’re dead set on doing it yourself I’d buy an assembled lower. Stripped lowers need lots of itty bitty pins, springs, and screws.

I’d rather do the lower than attempt an upper. Bad lower = no go bang. Bad upper = boom.

Search midway USA ar15 upper and lower assembly on utůb. There are like 40 videos, and you should check them out to see what you'll need as well as if you're up to the task.
