Are you a gun enthusiast looking to build the perfect AR-15 with all American-Made parts? At GunBuilders, we know how important it is to have a quality, reliable rifle that can be customized to fit your needs. That’s why we’ve compiled this guide on how to build the perfect AR-15 with all American-Made parts. We’ll be walking you through everything you need to know about selecting the right components, and ensuring a safe and reliable build. So let’s get started!
The Lower Receiver
The lower receiver of the AR-15 is one of the most important components of the gun. It is the frame of the rifle and houses many of the other parts. When selecting a lower receiver for your build, it’s important to choose one that meets the highest quality standards. GunBuilders offers a great selection of all American-made lower receivers to fit your build needs.
When looking for an AR 15 lower receiver, you should look for something made from 7075-T6 aluminum with a hard anodized finish. This ensures that your lower receiver is lightweight, strong and can take a lot of abuse. GunBuilders has a wide selection of AR 15 lower receivers to choose from, so you can find the perfect one for your build.
Once you have selected your lower receiver, you will need to install some other parts such as the trigger, magazine release and pistol grip. These parts are also available from GunBuilders, so you can get everything you need to complete your build in one convenient location.
When building your AR-15, starting with a quality lower receiver is essential. GunBuilders offers a great selection of all American-made AR 15 parts, including lower receivers, to help you build the perfect rifle.
The Upper Receiver
When it comes to AR 15 parts, the upper receiver is perhaps the most important component. It houses the barrel, the bolt carrier group, and the charging handle. When building an AR 15 from American-made parts, there are a few key points to keep in mind when selecting an upper receiver.
The first point is that you should look for an upper receiver made from a high-quality aluminum alloy such as 7075-T6. This type of aluminum alloy is lightweight and strong, making it ideal for a precision firearm. Additionally, the finish should be either mil-spec hard coat anodized or Cerakote. Both of these finishes provide excellent corrosion protection and resistance to wear.
Next, you should look for an upper receiver that is machined to strict tolerances. This ensures that all the parts will fit together properly and that the gun will function reliably. Finally, you should make sure that your upper receiver has M4 feed ramps for improved feeding and reliability.
With these points in mind, you can find an excellent American-made upper receiver for your AR 15 build.
The Barrel
When it comes to choosing the perfect barrel for your AR-15, there are several factors that should be taken into consideration. Quality and craftsmanship of the barrel should always be top priority. It is important to choose an American-made barrel from a reputable manufacturer. An ideal barrel length will depend on the purpose of the firearm, with shorter barrels being best for close-range shooting and longer barrels better suited for more precise long-distance shooting.
Match-grade barrels are more accurate than standard factory barrels, and can be used for competition shooting or hunting applications. Additionally, you should also consider barrel twist rate. Faster twist rates can stabilize heavier projectiles over longer distances, but require more powder and produce more felt recoil. Slower twist rates are better suited for lighter projectiles, but don’t have the same effective range as faster twist rates. To ensure you get the most out of your AR 15 parts, take some time to research and determine which barrel is right for your needs.
The Stock
When it comes to AR 15 parts, the stock is one of the most important components. The stock provides stability and support for your rifle and can determine how accurate and comfortable your rifle will be. When looking for the perfect stock for your AR 15 build, there are a few key things to consider.
The first is the length of pull. Length of pull is how far you need to reach from the trigger to the back of the buttstock. Different shooters may prefer different lengths depending on body type and shooting style. Most rifle stocks come with adjustable spacers to change the length of pull, but you can also choose a stock that is pre-set to a certain length.
The next important factor to consider is weight. Stocks can range in weight from ultra-lightweight models to heavier options. Generally speaking, lighter stocks are preferred by most shooters as they offer greater maneuverability and faster target acquisition. However, heavier stocks are often more durable and provide more recoil absorption.
Finally, you should take into account the material that the stock is made out of. Plastic stocks are generally less expensive, but they lack the strength and durability of aluminum or steel stocks. Additionally, some stocks feature extra storage compartments for batteries or cleaning supplies, which can be a great addition for your build.
Choosing the right stock for your AR 15 build can make all the difference when it comes to accuracy, comfort, and performance. Be sure to do your research and pick the best option for your needs. With a great stock, you’ll have an AR 15 that you’re proud of!
