I'm looking into building a rifle in the near future for proficiency shooting (home defense isn't an issue). I know next to nothing about going about picking components, but I do know a thing or two about maintenance, cleaning, assembly, and such, so I'm not completely new to it.

If you know of any guides or can just share your experience, I'd appreciate it.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
I'm halfway through building my poorfag AR

currently consists of an Anderson lower and a Palmetto lower parts kit.

Not sure what upper to get other than I know I want a 16 inch barrel. Definitely not a carbine gas system because it looks goofy on a 16 incher. Stuck between Dissipator uppers and midlength. Dunno what brand yet but Bushmaster is looking nice.

Also not sure about what magazines to get first but I'm leaning towards ETS and Lancer mags for dat smoke gray.
>poorfag build
>obviously 5.56 for dat cheap surplus ammo
>barrel under 18inches

all of my REEEEEE

I don't get it. If it can kill a man isn't that enough?

poor ballistic performance at ranges approaching and beyond 300 meters. That round was purpose designed for a certain barrel length and a certain rifling twist.

Napalm pls, my interest in guns and their regulation is entirely academic. Majored in (exceptional) criminal law for my Master's and wrote one of my Bachelor's theses on gun regulation, which explains why I'm interested in this. I couldn't care much less about people messing around with guns on the other side of the world, so I'm not gonna show up in every gun thread to explain you all in detail why easy access to guns is the devil's tool.

That being said, literally everyone knows that FN makes the objectively best guns in the world. Forget about your AR and Ruger. Belgian exceptionalism or bust, Turkey.
FNC a shit

The first question to ask yourself  is do you want a budget rifle, something simple or some special snowflake keymod shit with gucci everything.

It sounds like you want a target rifle, yeah? So like 20 inch barrel, full stock, decent optic I'm guessing?

What kinda budget are we talking?

Simple to start until I learn my way around different components. I'm not really sure how to come up with a budget. $5k over a year, maybe? I was hoping to start between $1-2k though.

I want a full-length C7 clone some time down the road, but they seem a little unweildy for something I could concievably have to defend myself indoors with.
I never had a problem doing room clearing drills with an m16. Get fucking good, son.

No he's pretty much the same.

"NELSON MANDELA WAS NOTHING BUT A TERRORIST"
being the lesser of two evils does not make one any less a terrorist

I'm glad his side won out in the end but let's not whitewash history for the sake of a warm fuzzy feeling
Aren't you a proponent of fighting government tyranny with the use of firearms?

Because that's pretty much exactly what Mandela tried to do during the late 50s/early 60s.

You're comparing one of the premier small arms manufacturers to a contractor that builds fucking naval guns.
FN doesn't make naval guns. . .

I know they make aircraft weaponry, but not naval guns.

Nevertheless, who gives a fuck? Flee brought up FN in a small arms thread; I'm entitled to stick it to his Dutch ass.
