I wanted to see how long it would take me to go from having parts in packaging and tools laid out on my bench to having an assembled weapon. This just gives me an excuse to build yet another. You know. For personal improvement.

Re: Personal Record AR Build Time
OH.. Actually having parts and that. I was going to say it took me about 2 years to build by AR-10, and my SBR will be built some day. Should have the stamp in the next couple of weeks and then I'll start thinking about ordering upper parts. Maybe be shooting that one by the time the ranges close down at the end of 2015...

Re: Personal Record AR Build Time
I would think after having all the parts, you could get an AR built in about 2 hours.

Re: Personal Record AR Build Time
Next time, order two sets of parts and give me a call. We can "race". If I win, I get to keep what I build.fyrfytr310 wrote:1:48:03

I walked into the store, pointed my finger at the gun, pulled out my CC, walked out with a Completely handbuilt custom AR in under 00:15.
No tools, no headspace gauge, no workbench needed.
Congrats and enjoy your new AR.

Re: Personal Record AR Build Time
Yes it is, especially when drop that tiny safety selector detent, or buffer retainer detent, off the workbench and spend 2 hours looking for it, or ordering and waiting another 3 days for Brownells to ship you one for the cost of $9.....only to find that detent still on the workbench 3 months later.
