Overview

If you're interested in understanding how AR-15-style rifles are assembled, customized, or maintained, this comprehensive builder's companion provides the clear, structured guidance you need. The Complete AR-15 Builder's Companion offers an in-depth, reader-friendly exploration of how the major assemblies of the platform fit together, how the system functions, and what every enthusiast should know before beginning a build or upgrade project. Rather than offering vague generalities, this book breaks down the major AR-15 groups-such as the lower receiver, upper receiver, and internal operating components-into their key parts to help readers develop a complete understanding of how each system contributes to safe and reliable performance. The goal is to empower hobbyists, tinkerers, and responsible firearm owners with the foundational knowledge required to make informed decisions about components, compatibility, customization, and routine maintenance. Written with clarity and supported by illustrations, this guide serves not only those who want to build a rifle from legally acquired components, but also readers who simply want a deeper understanding of how their existing AR functions. Concepts such as proper fitment, function checks, common mechanical principles, and responsible handling are presented in a way that is accessible for beginners yet detailed enough to be valuable for experienced enthusiasts. Inside, readers will find high-level coverage of subjects such as: Understanding lower-receiver parts, their purpose, and considerations when selecting components How triggers operate within the AR platform and what affects performance The role of proper headspacing and why it matters for safety and reliability Key features of the bolt-carrier group and how it interacts with the rifle's cycling Upper-receiver components, part selection, and assembly considerations General function-check principles to confirm correct operation The basic cycle of operation of the AR-15 platform Best practices for cleaning, service, lubrication, and long-term care Troubleshooting concepts to help diagnose common mechanical issues Designed for smooth digital reading, this manual allows quick navigation between sections, making it ideal for study at home or quick reference at the workbench or range. Whether you're exploring your first build or refining your understanding of the AR-15 platform, this book stands as a valuable and responsible resource for anyone seeking deeper knowledge of one of the most popular rifle systems in the world.
