Awsome AR-15 assembly videos.

Hey guys. I've just started learning about the so called black guns, and I found a video series on Brownells. Anybody know any other good resources that talk about the types of parts, list of brands, etc?

Here's a great addition to the videos:

Thanks for the tip on the book. It'll be my new coffee table book.

Those brownell videos were a decent introduction, I'm looking forward to more detail in the book.

I used those videos combined with some information from http://www.ar15.com/forums/forum.html?b=3&f=4

They have a helpful schematic of what all the little pieces in the Lower parts kit are.

and built 2 lowers in about an hour or so. It probably would have taken less, but I kept double checking things and making sure it was really this easy. A couple of punches, and a hammer was all it took.

I'm really looking forward to finishing off those 2 and maybe building another. One is my first, and the other is for my Father in-law.
