Building an AR for a stripped lower, what will it take

I'm intrested in building a AR from a stripped lower and was wondering what it would take. Any special tools or complications I should know of? I plan on it being a 6 month project and doing it slowly. Am I getting into something over my head?

No, it is really easy. I built earlier this year and it was not a big deal. I asked a lot of questions and had a quite a bit of help from members on here. Do a little research and have fun. I love my build and it shoots amazingly well.

I just put together my first lower. A castle nut wrench would be good to have and they are pretty cheap, other than that my tool kit is pretty basic. I used the article and video guides from ar15.com and it was a snap.

Proper tools do make life much easier though.

Brian,
I can get you going on the lower with correct tools.
Literally a 45 minute job.
The upper is dependent on what you want exactly.
PM me if you want to connect.
