Home gunsmiths: make your own custom built AR-15 rifle with this step-by-step video of the entire process.
This is not a "assembly/disassembly" video; This video shows exactly how to make an AR-15 rifle out of a raw 0% metal forging:
Watch how an average Joe can make custom firearms legally and inexpensively in his own home using inexpensive machine tools like the Grizzly mini-mill and a dremmel tool. Think you can't do it? Not true you can and this video will show you how.
Here's what you're going to see:
* Tool selection
* Machine set-ups
* Measurements
* Broaching the magwell in your garage the simple way
* Cutting the fire control area
* Threading the buffer tube area
* bead blasting
* Applying the finish
* Every step of the process in building a from "hunk of metal" all the way to "Finished lower" caught on video
* much much more...
(NOTE: does not contain live-fire demo)
(about 170 minutes)

OK video, Covered milling out the receiver fairly well but referred to the web-site for all the specifics which will cost you.
Very well done, I would recommend this DVD to anyone who is interested in building their own AR based target rifle.
The video is great. I learned allot about how to mill out a 0% forging. Overall this was a very educational experience. However, if you do not have a milling machine, a vise, an angle plate and several big end mills and a large tap this video will not serve your very well, a hack saw, a drill press and a file will not do the job. I am not sure if I will try milling out a 0% forging but I now know that it is possible after watching the video. So for a beginner you can spend $100 on a finished lower or invest >$5000 and build one.
Not a good instructional video to build the AR. A lot of steps are skipped. Also, the video fails to mention what drill sizes to use on some of the holes
