[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 766089, member: 23"] .223 and 5.56 are basically the same round. If you get a barrel that will handle 5.56, you will have no problem with .223. If you are wanting to build what is now more commonly a "franken AR", there are several sources for parts and accessories. Be forewarned though that if you should decide to sell it later on, it will probably not have as much re-sale value as a "pure" factory manufactured gun. Two places that have complete parts kits less lower receivers is M&A and Model1. If you just want a plinker, throw around, beat up, truck gun and don't want to spend much money, that would be the way to go. There are several members here on this board that can provide you with a lower receiver for a fair price. Bushmaster produces a good DVD with step by step assembly instructions. They will talk about the tools you'll need and actually put out a pretty good video. Cost was $20.00 when I got mine. [/QUOTE]
