I'm kind of a newbie at this so I am looking for some guidance. I'm interested in getting an AR15. Near as I can tell, there are four ways to get one.
1. Buy a complete assembled rifle.
2. Buy a completed upper half and a completed lower half. Easy assembly.
3. Buy a complete parts kit and a stripped lower receiver. Trigger will need to be assembled, will need to be headspaced, etc.
4. Buy the whole thing as parts and have it assembled.
More or less correct? I will also make the assumption that as you go from 1 to 4 things will generally get cheaper but will require more assembly.
When going routes 2-4, the lower receiver (whether strippped or complete) is the 'gun' and is what requires FFL handling. The rest can be ordered off the internet/where ever. Correct?
That's all for now. Thanks!
