The answer to this
question will help you decide how much to pay for an AR15. Will
is be used hard? will lives depend on it? or will it go to the
range once a month to shoot paper targets? Will you be using
it each month in 3 Gun Competition, being bumped, slung and dropped
during practice and at matches. Or would you like it to shoot
small groups at great distances? The AR 15 platform has great
potential and a wide variety of options and accessories,
but that can lead to confusion. Think about how you plan to use
your AR 15. Be honest with yourself, you can save a lot of money
going cheap on some things that might not matter to you.

There are two basic parts of the AR15 rifle,
the top half or "upper"

new rifle is complete.
