The marine corps creed has been heard many times, but it's never truer than when you're talking about a rifle you built yourself. thanks to the design of the ar platform, and companies such as del-ton, inc., building your own service rifle is now an easy afternoon activity. If you're wondering how to start this project, you can view the Del-Ton website. They currently offer nine different rifle kit configurations based on the AR platform. Each kit comes with a completed upper assembly and all of the parts needed to build a lower assembly. The only part missing is a stripped lower receiver. Why? The reasoning is that this receiver falls into the legal category of being considered a firearm. You must go through a licensed firearm dealer to obtain the lower receiver, whereas all other parts can be ordered directly from the factory. Del-Ton does sell the lower receivers, but these must be shipped to your local licensed firearm dealer. All Del-Ton upper assemblies are head-spaced and test fired for quality and safety. They use top quality, U.S.-made, mil-spec parts and once you put together the lower/stock assembly you will have a completed rifle worthy of your efforts. Why go to the trouble of building your own rifle? First, by providing the labor, you can order a rifle kit and lower receiver for much less than the going market price of a completed AR. Even more so, you will gain an understanding of the operation of your rifle that will render benefits for years to come.
