How to Build Your AR Rifle with an A2 Upgrade

Select your desired handguard length and upgrade your handguard with the A2 upgrade kit and then select your optional add-ons if desired. 

Our build kits do not include a lower receiver. You must purchase a lower from a licensed FFL dealer and submit to the proper background checks to receive said lower receiver. Please be aware of all state and local laws as it pertains to building and owning an AR-15 rifle.

BYOAR makes no guarantees or assumptions about your ability to purchase or own an AR-15 lower.
