When I read the title of the thread I thought, "Holy crap, someone's going to mill their own receivers and fabricate their own parts! Wow that's an undertaking!"

Then I read the post and realized its just a build. Building them isn't hard so long as you have the right tools. Its getting the right tools that will make the investment expensive.

You'll need a good work bench/table, armorer's tool, castle nut wrench, a bench vice, blocks to put your receivers on when using your vice (its not advisable to put your receiver (upper or lower) directly into the vice, a barrel clamp and a torque wrench (for proper torquing of critical parts like the barrel).

All of that can add up pretty quickly (especially the tools like bench, vice and torque wrench) and makes the actual initial investment far greater than simply purchasing say a Colt 9620.

Of course once you have the tools you can then proceed to build more ARs for the cost of the parts alone.
