I really think there is an art to assembling an AR correctly. I have zero training in being a gunsmith. I am an Army trained armorer, but that's nowhere near the qualifications needed to call myself a 'gunsmith'. I'm nothing more than a hobbyist.

That being said, I think it's really magical that I can use simple hand tools and put a functioning gun together. I love that the world of ARs has progressed to the point that a knucklehead like me can just put one together in my garage.

I really appreciate the hard work that goes into making the parts that fit together perfectly.
