Hey all, I'm thinking of getting an AR someday. Any suggestions on where you can point me to learn about the different setups and options on the platform? Pros / Cons, Good websites, books etc. Obviously this forum is a treasure trove, but then again any knuckelhead can post anything here and people might take it as gospel. Considering a "build" to save moolah - if so, I need to lear a lot very quickly. I'm very familliar with garand/14 gas systems (have worked on these extensively in the past), but new to the AR platform entirely. Only shot one once.

Any advice for a "virgin" would be appreciated.
