Design and Build Your Custom AR 15 on a Budget

The Easiest Way to Build Your Own AR 15 Rifle or Pistol

If you go to any off-the-shelf gun centers and buy an
entry-level mil-spec AR15, you will likely end up with an A2 System. They often
come standard with an A2 front sight and a plastic clam-shell handguard with no
attachment points. It also likely has a standard A2 flash hider. While it is
still quite functional, it looks old-fashioned and honestly dull.

Why would you ever buy a standard AR 15 if you are not bored? Especially when you can easily buy a stripped lower
receiver and assemble it yourself. When you build your AR 15, you can
have it look exactly like you want. Not to mention the satisfaction you get
from using your hands to assemble your rifle. We suggest you design and build your AR rifle or pistol from scratch. That way, you own a gun that
fits your style from the start.

Where to Start; Do you think you should buy parts or kits?

Oh! So, it would be best if you were more confident in correctly picking out and assembling all the various parts and components required to
create a working AR rifle. No worries, we have every type of AR builder covered
at Black Rifle Depot.

We offer a vast selection of live-online inventory of
individual parts for the designer who knows exactly the amount they want and complete* rifle and pistol build kits for the builder who prefers to
know what it will look like before starting.

THESE KITS MAY NOT BE COMPLIANT WITH YOUR STATE OR
LOCAL LAWS. REFER TO YOUR STATE OR LOCAL LAWS TO SEE IF YOU CAN OWN A STANDARD
UN-MODIFIED AR RIFLE/PISTOL. AS THESE KITS ARE STANDARD AND NOT MODIFIED IN ANY
WAY TO BE COMPLIANT WITH ANY STATE LAWS.

*Please note… Our Build Kits do not come with a lower
receiver. You must purchase a lower receiver from a licensed FFL dealer
and submit to the proper background checks to take possession of the lower
receiver.

**Black Rifle Depot makes no guarantees or assumptions
about your ability to purchase or own a registered AR 15 lower.

If you already own an AR that is or is not an A2-style rifle, we have plenty of options, including our complete lower-build kits and upper assemblies so that you can customize
and upgrade your current weapon.
