The AR-15 upper comes in many different flavors, which, for the new shooter, can be tough to wrap your head around.
When it comes to pre-built upper receivers, you get the plug-and-play experience. There’s also the fact that most places building AR-15s have the proper tools for torquing to spec. Buy once, cry once really comes into play when buying a complete upper; Save up some money and buy the upper you set your heart on. Stick to your non-negotiables.
If you want to build one instead of going the complete upper route. Let’s see what are the tools needed for completing your upper, what parts are required, and the specs to look for when buying each piece.
