> I’ve done it a ton of times. Its not to hard as long as you have the right ar tools, specificall the two different types of barrel nut wrenches. Building your own gun piece for piece just makes the end product more fulfilling. I do out source my pinning and welding to boxersix.

i agree. when i do my 14.5 build i want it pieced because i want a certain rail, certain barrel, and certain muzzle brake along with certain recievers. so building it piece by piece is the best option for that specific build. also doing it piece by piece allows you to do it over a month or two rather than needed to front all the cash up front, you can order as you want or need parts. do you have links to the right tools? ill pick them up when i start the build.

boxersix- where are you located? and how much to change a muzzle brake and re-pin and weld it? i have two that i need done now because i am just going to change the brake and my future build(s) will need them done.
