Book Reviews of The Workbench AR-15 Project: A Step-by-Step Guide to Building Your Own Legal AR-15 Without Paperwork

Book Review: The title says it all
Summary: 5 Stars

The title is very specific in that it says "building your own AR15," not assembling it. I walk you through, step by step, from start to finish, on how to build an AR15 rifle from a partially completed casting; thereby no paperwork is required. This is as in-depth as you will find without a video, on an AR15 homebuild project. This book was #8 on Paladin's top 20 titles, so it has sold very well. For books on assembly of the AR15, check out titles by Duncan Long and Walt Kuleck. A.A. Perry, I am glad that the book was so helpful to you.

Update 2010:
The 80% lowers are still available from several sources. At this point, the best is ar15plus.com. They have cast and forged lowers.

Also, this book has sold so many copies, that it is now in its second printing. The newest version deals with a few of the changes since the origional copy hit the shelves. This includes a change in suppliers and a note about the AWB sunsetting.

I am glad that this book was so helpful to so many, and that several people who bought it posted their successes on here. That makes the whole project worthwhile. I'm sorry that one guy didn't read the title correctly, but the cover even has a picture of a partially completed lower on it, with me finishing it in various steps. If he missed that, then it's his problem, not yours.
