Ok, I'm caving.

I've made several posts recently contemplating what to spend my Ebay money on. Discussion from a variety of gear, to the Barret Rec7, to the Springfield M1A. Well it's happened, without even buying one I've gotten the EBR bug. I would get a 6.8 spc without question if it weren't for ammo costs and availability. I have thought of the solution of getting a 6.8 AR and a .223 upper so I can plink the .223 whenever I want and keep the 6.8 for when it's time to take care of business. I'm even considering the route of building my own AR. The problem is this. I know practically nothing about them except that I really want a 6.8 spc. So now it begins, suggestion time.

Unless you've got good help in building one, I'd suggest buying your first AR. Learn all you can about it. Then try for a build the way you think you want. No, I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night, but advice from a complete novice just getting into the rifle game. Got my first one recently from brother-in-law. Don't regret buying the first, probably saved a lot of money, time, frustation, and headaches. JMO

I was thinking about talking to Nashville Sporting Arms if I went the route of building one. Mr. Tenpenny over there is my old high school chemistry teacher.
