One of the best things about the AR-15 rifle is how easy it is to build and customize it to the exact specs you want. Feel like making a AR for hunting or long distance shooting? No problem, just pick up an upper with a longer/heavier barrel and slap on the optics of your choice. Feel like an Mforgery? There’s countless options available from lots of manufacturers. I always scope out the custom AR-15 build threads on all the various gun forums I’m on, I like to see the different ways AR shooters make their AR-15 rifles their own. I recently stumbled upon Gunschicken’s AR build and it really reminded me of my first AR-15 project.

Got a AR-15 build story of your own you’d like to share? Post a link or tell us about it in the comments section below. BTW, the AR pictured above is my budget AR build, more details on it in a future post.
