Building an AR-15 involves several steps, each requiring specific parts and tools. Here’s a simplified guide to help you get started:

1. Gather the Necessary Parts: You’ll need various components such as the lower receiver, upper receiver, barrel, handguard, bolt carrier group, gas block, and more.
2. Assemble the Lower Receiver: This includes installing the trigger assembly, safety selector, magazine catch, and attaching the buttstock.
3. Assemble the Upper Receiver: Attach the barrel to the upper receiver, install the gas block and tube, and then the handguard.
4. Combine Upper and Lower Receivers: Once both halves are assembled, connect them using the takedown pins.
5. Install the Bolt Carrier Group and Charging Handle: Slide these into the upper receiver.
6. Function Check: Ensure all parts are correctly installed and functioning properly.
