I will be sure to do that. I have watched a few peoples videos on youtube building a lower. Sootch00 and nsz85 seem to have the best videos imo.

Go for it! Ar15's are a walk in the park. Get yourself a roll pin punch set. Also a armorers wrench if you are assembling the upper to the barrel yourself. Everything else is common hand tools like hammer, needlenose pliers, etc.
I do caution you since I dont know you or your capabilities personally that if you get stuck, ASK QUESTIONS FIRST before you dig yourself in a hole or start making holes that arent suppose to be there.
Why you ask? Ill just point you to the guy that managed to hose up a simple barrel cleaning of a Mosin Nagant.........Need I say more?

Can you not have it ran as a pistol instead of rifle receiver when the NICS is ran and then you can go back and forth?
Besides, Who are earth is gonna know whether "you" ever had a rifle stock on it or not?

Lol. I have actually been following that thread. Very funny stuff, but things happen. I also got my upper in today which is the following, got it for 515 shipped and my PSA Blem lower should be shipped this week for 57 shipped before the transfer fee.
PSA 16'' M4 CMV Chrome-Lined Premium Rifle Kit - Rifle Kits - AR-15
Will post pictures soon of my upper. I know it's basic but it made my day seeing it waiting for me at home haha.
Nothing basic about it, that's all yours! There may be other rifles that look similar, but this one is going to be all you. Keep us up to date on how your build goes. By the way, you mentioned some you tube videos and my personal favorite videos on assembling a lower are from Cheaperthandirt.com's youtube channel. I don't do business with them anymore, but I'll refresh my memory on their videos for free from time to time.
A virgin stripped lower transferred properly as an "other" CAN be built as a PISTOL first, then into RIFLE, then BACK again into a pistol.
If you buy a complete AR15 lower that has a stock on it, it is a RIFLE, and remains a RIFLE.

^I love it when you prove people wrong. You should have your own page here on INGO about ARs. I certainly have learned quite a bit from you over the years.
Just a page here on INGO? Heck, I run my own AR15 forum.

Which one? I like M4carbine.net over the other ones.
Don't set yourself up for heartbreak. PSA is great at producing quality parts at very low prices, the part you give up is on speedy service. You'll get your stuff, but it's going to be a little while. It's tough to wait when there's a new toy in the mail heading your way. I'm in the same boat you are because I just ordered a PSA cold hammer forged Dissipator upper and it'll barely get here before Christmas would be my guess.
Thanks for the link. It is still not clear that this eases the pain in many situations. If you are the original purchaser of a stripped lower that you properly transferred as "other" through an FFL, your lawyer certainly could use the above ruling as a defense. Downstream transactions are not so clear. Either way, 1 hour of legal time is a lot more than buying a stripped lower specifically for a pistol or rifle and NOT fooling around with converting it back and forth.
Penny wise and pound foolish, as the saying goes.
Yeah I know what you mean. I'm impatient but with my ar I'm getting to be a little more patient. I'm eager to shoot it when it get done but with the weather and holidays coming up its tough.
