texag15 Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 How's it going guys? Long time gun enthusiast. This will be my first AR build. Bought an Aero Precision M5 lower from my local shop today and can not wait to get started on my build. I have no idea where to go from here/what I want other than the AP upper receiver and Magpul PRS stock. But that's why I am here. Looking forward to learning.

NTXshooter Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 TexAg=Aggie? If so, welcome from a fellow Aggie! First, ask yourself what your main purpose is for the rifle, ie, hunting, long range, etc. That will help determine a lot of parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will primarily use it at my ranch target shooting and hog/deer hunting so I would like for it to be a nice general purpose use gun.
