    Part of the allure of building your own AR 15 is actually putting the time in to make something that’s your own. It’s the challenge in assembling the firearm and learning what goes where, and how it all works together. Typically you purchase a lower receiver at your local gun store and build from there. However, you can take it a step further and purchase an 80% lower receiver. This will increase the overall challenge and difficulty in building your AR 15, but it will also make the build more satisfying and slightly more affordable.

    Choosing the Best AR 15 Build Kit
    As each individual shooter has their own definition and requirements for the best AR 15 build kit for them, so we have several options available with varying parts and accessories. At a minimum, a build kit will include all the necessary components to build and operate the weapon. This includes the complete upper receiver, with a bolt carrier group and charging handle. The options here can vary quite drastically. You can have a standard mil-spec flat top upper with a plastic handguard, and fixed A2 style sight. Alternatively, you can go full-length keymod handguard and stainless steel barrel. The options are quite varied.

With this in mind, you will always be able to build your dream rifle cheaper than buying a completely built model. A basic mil spec kit can do most of what you’ll ever need from a rifle.

This option certainly makes a flashier, and more modern rifle. Whichever option you choose to be confident that you are getting one of the best AR 15 build kits available in the market today.

    ADDING A JIG AND BITS?
    Adding jigs and bits makes finishing an 80% lower basically 99% easier. We offer a complete kit that includes the 80 lower jig and proper drill bits. There is also the option to add either a jig, drill bits, or both with any of our AR 15 build kits. A jig is essentially the pattern you’ll have to follow to finish your lower receiver. A jig surrounds the lower receiver and guides the drill and bits to finish it. A jig essentially does all the measuring, marking, and placement for you. Our jig makes finishing an 80% lower dummy proof. It is an essential piece of gear for the first time builder.

    Drill bits seem common enough that you can buy any drill kit and finish a lower receiver right? Well, it can be done like that. However, a complete drill bit kit will cost more than the bits you need to finish the receiver. Also, the drill bits included in most drill kits do not have a proper stop collar. A stop collar prevents you from drilling too far into the receiver. If you got too deep you may ruin or at least threaten the structural integrity of the lower receiver.

    Our complete AR 15 80 lower jig kit, that includes the jig and drill bits, is by far the easiest to build. All the work in finding the right pieces is done, and the jig and bits answer the “How am I going to build it,” question.
