AR-15 Rifle Builder's Manual: An Illustrated, Step-by-Step Guide to Assembling the AR-15 Rifle

This is very informative with lots & lots of specific & detailed pictures. If you are planning on field stripping your AR i highly recommend this book because there are a LOT of small parts & this book can save you. I rate this 10/10 must have for AR-15 owners.

This is the perfect guide for me, being new to tinkering with this model.It offered everything that I needed to know without making it sound overly complicated. Though I have also used video instructions, generally I still tend to prefer instructions in book format; easier to stop at any point while working, or flip back and forth, if I need to. Plus, I avoid getting gunk on my electronic devices while doing messy stuff. 😊What I liked. The format organization: it starts with a fully assembled view with terms; next, component groups, assembly steps, then function tests.Assembly steps are clear; easy to understand and follow. Information about how components work is useful and concise, not distracting or overwhelming; everything I needed to feel confident of doing a proper job. That made it satisfying and fun.Photographs are excellent, clearly depicting what I needed to see.The tips offered helped me avoid frustrating rookie mistakes or accidental damage.I DID have this guide spiral bound so that it lies flat. (There is plenty of space on the inner margin without marring the text or photos and I would definitely recommend it.)I also have this guide on my ereader. I like that too, but some of the page breaks separated the text from the photos that they described. A little awkward but not a deal-breaker. And that may have just been on my reader. Just so you know and can choose what you like best.Though the more experienced may find it too basic, I highly recommend it to new tinkerers. I definitely plan to keep it around as a great reference.

Comprehensive, well written book.

A lot of the pictures shown in the customer reviews show that this manual has a spiral binding. Not So! Pages are attached to the binding with an adhesive. It's a good reference book and would be a great must have for an AR15 owner.

excellent manual! very clearly written in simple terms with explanations and photos. recommend for anyone who wants to work on their ar-15/m4 or wants to build/assemble it on their own.

Every how-to manual needs to be written in the style of this book. It is perfect. It's about 70 pages in length with approximately 6 detailed, clear, and color photos per page. Underneath each photo is a step written in plain English which is usually one sentence in length. "Insert spring here. While holding spring, insert pin there." Perfect execution of the KISS principle. I've never bought, owned, or even held an ar15 before in my life. With the help of this book, I built my first ar15 on the kitchen table and it functions almost flawlessly [it's under-gassed but that's not the book's fault. It's either faulty parts or my alignment skills]. If I had one gripe, it's that there should be a total tool list at the very beginning instead of a tool list for each section. But now that you've read this review, you can scan ahead and get all the tools ready. Also, you will need to know when to deviate from the book and go on YouTube. This book covers the traditional M16 'Nam-style rifle with polymer hand-guard and and fixed front sight attached to the barrel with the rear handle-sight so any deviation from that will require independent research. This should be a NY Times Best Seller. Read it to your kids before bedtime.

This book plus the Army manual on the M16A1 is all you need to assemble your AR. Pictures of each part plus simple, easily followed instructions makes this all you need. Plus tools, of course.

Beautifully photographed, great explanation of what you are being shown, I recommend this to anyone wanting a better understanding of the AR platform.

Indispensabile libretto se sei appassionato a questa piattaforma. Sintetico e chiaro, al di là della costruzione ti permette di comprendere il come funziona e il come è fatto. Consigliatissimo ai novizi, necessario per tutti. Immagini veramente chiare ed esplicative, cosa non scontata.

Perfect for my new built. I received it just in time for the Trudeau gun ban.

Great reference. Not only if you want to build-up your own, but also to better understand the “anatomy” of your AR. Gives clear instructions how to get the job done, for example a trigger group replacement, supported by lots of detailed pictures and a list of required tools. Serves as a great reference, frequently consulted, before I start working on my gun.

Great book. Simple. Lots of pictures. And some great tips
