Smyth Busters: "Building" vs "Assembling" Your Own AR-15

You've bought a set of AR-15 parts and you're putting together a complete rifle. Are you "building" an AR-15 or "assembling" one? This is often a hot point of contention on firearm Internet forums: one member mentions he / she is building a rifle. Then another member jumps in and - with varying degrees of condescension - insists the first person is merely assembling an AR-15. Well, this kind of talk gets Caleb's hackles up, as he explains to his colleague Steve, leading with the Webster's dictionary definition of "build." Pushing this semantic fine point is way for professional AR mechanics or more experienced hobbyists to flex on newbies or less-experienced AR-15 fans. But the reality is almost anybody building something in the modern world is working with components or subassemblies that were produced by somebody else. You still have to put it together correctly and get it to work properly. You are building your own AR-15. So the myth that putting together an AR is assembling and not building is BUSTED. Go forth and BUILD that new AR-15 with joy!
