The AR-15 Complete Assembly Guide, Build and Maintain your own AR-15

by Walt Kuleck with Clint McKee.

Since the publication of the author's The AR-15 Complete Owner's Guide, readers have asked for a book that would help guide them through the assembly of their AR-15-type rifle. Ideally, such a book would impart the tips, tricks, pitfalls and "gotchas!" that experienced AR-15 enthusiasts and armorers have discovered and developed over the years.

This is that book. It goes beyond the military manuals in depth and scope, using words and pictures to clearly guide the reader through every operation required to assemble their AR-15-type rifle. You'll learn the best and easiest ways to build your rifle. It won't make you an AR-15 armorer, but it will make you a more knowledgeable owner. You'll be able to do more with (and to) your rifle. You'll also be able to better judge the competence of those whom you choose to work on your rifle, and to discuss your needs more intelligently with them.

In short, if you build it, you'll know how to repair it.

The AR-15 Complete Assembly Guide is a companion volume to The AR-15 Complete Owner's Guide by Walt Kuleck with Scott Duff. The Owner's Guide gives you a look into the history and development of the AR-15. It also gives you a comprehensive description of the many variations of the AR-15 and its clones, and provides a systematic way for you to analyze your needs so you can configure your AR-15 rifle and uppers to meet those needs. The Owner's Guide includes preban serial number cutoff information, detailed descriptions of Colt AR-15 model numbers, and a compendium of available pre-ban magazines to guide your buying decisions. It's the most comprehensive book of its kind on the AR-15. 164 pages, 331 photographs.
