Some Articles On Building An AR

My last AR build was a lightweight AR 308 rifle I put together about 4 years ago (see here and here). But I'm starting to look at another build--my wife forced me (I'm not exaggerating, either) to buy a lower receiver to go with an FDE upper I've had sitting around for years--so I thought I would refresh my knowledge of what I need to do. A few articles I located that I thought would be of interest to readers:

I think the FDE receivers will match up nicely with green furniture. But I'm not sure of a caliber or use for the rifle to guide the rest of my build. I'm tempted to just put it together as a rifle for one of my sons.

  1. How about 6 ARC for caliber? I think it's the most ballistically perfect cartridge for the AR, it's capable of reaching out past 1K yards, there's a ton of match and hunting loads available, and honestly, it's just something different.
