I'm in! I own several AR's but don't know anything about building one. I know they are allot like 1911, a collection of parts.

I'll guess I'll add that I'll be participating in this endeavor also.

Luckily in most cases, the principles behind the build process are identical no matter which manufacturer makes the components. All barrels are attached in the same manner. All lower parts kits (triggers, safeties, take down pins, etc) are installed the same, with exceptions for some aftermarket units.

It shouldn't be overly difficult to show the installation of both a carbine length 5 position buffer tube (with any mil-spec stock sliding onto it) and an A2 stock. The same should be true with a standard front sight post gas block in addition to a low profile gas block to be installed under free float hand guards.

Speaking of hand guards, this will likely be the most challenging aspect of the class. Except for standard hand guards, each design is installed differently. Directions are included with the hand guards, and they're all pretty easy to install....just different.

He is not buying a gun he is buying parts.

I have told TDS that I would most certainly agree to do this, with either videos that I post and then discuss at agreed upon times, or do live streaming video. We'll have to figure it out.

Class will start with a stripped lower and lower parts kit. Then we will move to installing the buffer tube and a collapsible 6 position stock install. I dont want to move to quick, but also dont want to move at a snails pace.

So the first task will be to get those wanting to do this, the stripped lower, and a lower parts kit...

Sound good to me. Would it be posible to put up a parts list with a target price for each part? It doen't necessarily have to be on the money but just give us an idea of what we are looking at as a whole.
