AR15 Rifles

THE AR 15 UPPER

Whether you're looking to build a custom AR or upgrade your current model, an AR-15 upper receiver contains several essential components to include:

AR-15 Barrels
Choosing the right barrel for your AR-15 is an important step in the build process. Barrels come in different lengths and shapes, depending on what you need, like better accuracy or easier handling. They're usually made from strong materials like stainless steel or chrome-moly steel, which means they last a long time and can withstand a lot of use.

AR-15 Bolt Carrier and Charging Handle
The bolt carrier group (BCG) has several parts, including the bolt and firing pin, and it's what makes the AR rifle work. It loads bullets, removes empty cases, and prepares the rifle to shoot again. The charging handle, located on the top of the gun, lets you move the bolt carrier yourself. This is useful for loading the first bullet or fixing any issues.

AR-15 Gas Systems
The gas system is essential for making the rifle shoot automatically. A gas block near the front of the barrel controls how much gas goes from the barrel to the gas tube. This tube then takes the gas to the bolt carrier group. The gas makes the rifle ready to fire again by moving the bolt, throwing out the empty case, and loading a new bullet.

AR-15 Handguards
Handguards are useful for a couple of reasons. First, they cover the barrel to keep it safe and prevent your hand from burning. Thanks to attachment areas like Picatinny rails, you can add grips, sights, or lights to your rifle. This means you can further customize your AR to fit your needs and style best.

THE AR 15 LOWER

The other essential component when building an AR-15 rifle is the lower receiver. It is the serialized portion of the firearm and houses several essential parts to include:

AR-15 LOWERS
The AR-15 lower receiver is a key component when building an AR-15 rifle. It is the serialized part of the firearm and houses the trigger assembly, magazine well, and pistol grip.

AR-15 Triggers
The trigger assembly is another essential component of an AR 15 that starts the process of firing a bullet. It's made up of a few pieces, including the trigger itself, the hammer, the disconnector, and the springs that help the trigger move back into place. These parts work together to ensure the rifle shoots when you pull the trigger and then gets ready to shoot again.

AR-15 Grip and Stock
The grip and stock play a big role in making the rifle comfortable and steady to hold. The grip is usually made from materials like polymer or rubber to give you a good hold on the rifle. It's designed with special textures and shapes to help you grip it better. The stock rests against your shoulder and helps you control the gun when you shoot, making it easier to aim and stay stable.

AR-15 Buffer System
The buffer system has several parts that help manage the kick (or recoil) of the rifle when it shoots. Inside the buffer tube, which is attached to the back of the rifle, you'll find the buffer and a spring. The buffer is usually a heavy piece of steel or tungsten that helps absorb the shock from shooting. The spring pushes the parts inside the gun back into place after each shot and makes the rifle easier to handle.
