Well it's nearly time . I have made the choice to wander to the dark side.I have been looking at the posts about this lower and that lower etc....Near as I can figure putting one of these rifles is like using a box of mechana bits. I want some advice on whether or not my first one should be bought as a whole rifle or get a lower and assemble it myself . One of the main reason for not putting it together myself is that since this is the first I want to make sure it is accurate so as not to piss me off and get put asside just because I didn't know to tighten a certain bolt.
Thanks Guys
 
I would recommend either buying as a complete rifle,

or

buying a complete upper in the configuration that you'd prefer and buying a lower.

After, you can start buying the assorted tools to work on it.

+1.

Getting a complete rifle is a really good idea for a first AR in my opinion. Learn the rifle and then later if you want to build you will know more about the subject of how the rifle goes together and operates.

Get something decent too, they are out there at reasonably prices. Colt SP1 and SP2 and clones are around. Look for an HBAR model if you want accuracy. Don't be scared of a carry handle as you can always get a stripped flat-top upper later at a good price if you find the need to switch.

Just my $.02 worth.

Some people like the cheapo Norincos, but I've never had a Nork AR, so I won;t say anything good or bad about them aside from the fact that hte stock furniture and paint finish is FUGLY though it probably works just fine like most Norinco stuff.

Whoa.. Apparently I missed something. Norinco makes AR's? Never seen them on Marstar's website...

Marstar doesn;t carry them a they are no longer made. Some dealers still have stock though. Lever Arms still sells a new Norinco AR for $770.

I am also a firm believer in this. Get a rifle first. See how everything fits / interacts and learn to shoot it. After that, you can build. Why spend time building the first rifle and risking damage due to unfamiliarity with it.

just buy the parts and build it yourself. more fun and more satisfaction that way. beside when it doesn't work you can learn how it is supposed to work. you would have to be a VERY retarded monkey to put it together and KB.

besides it's not like you'lll miss hunting season or loose your life depending on it.
