Spoke to my brother about ARs (He has a really nice M4) and is more knowledgeable than me. He mentioned the need for some specialty tools required for building. Are these tools required if say I purchased a complete lower and complete upper?
What I've determined I'd like so far:
16" barrel, 1:7
5.56/.223 (compared to .223 only, if I understand correctly)
Flat top
Provisions for scope/sight on top in addition to flip up sights
mount for laser with remote button (wife's request, I'm assuming below barrel is ideal?)
All black
~$800
Suggestions on specific parts or entire rifles that meet the parameters, or comments on what I'm after are appreciated //SLAMIN//
