How long does it take to build a AR15?

With a stripped reciever, internal lower kit, with a completed upper?
I took me about 15 minutes, to make the AR pistol and about 30 minutes for a AR rifle, due to the buttstock.
Just wondered if I was slower or faster,on building.
How long does it take you?

I am really slow though. I average about 45 minutes because I have to figure in time to make a pot of coffee and switch CDs in the cd player.

Never bring an ambulance to a gun fight till it's over.
And then assemble each and every part from butt plate to barrel and
gas tube, door and pin,handguards, bolt release, bolt pieces sight,etc.?
If so someone has a very bad watch for timming this procedure. Please explain "detail strip". I have put together about 6 using stripped uppers and lowers to start with. First two, I had to use TM 9-1005-249-24&P G.I. Tech Manual to do them. (even being AR-15's).

I was thinking the same thing[;)][:)]
Maybe "detail strip is pushing 2 pins to seperate the upper from lower and removing the charging handle and bolt carrier from upper???
Plus when I Have ever stripped a firearm I purposly go slow as I am in no race with anyone. I have seen the fast guys and have seen the firearm after assembly with all the little tool marks. I'll take my time and be tool mark free.[:D]

Also, it was my first experience with an AR rifle of any kind and I was unfamiliar with the internals.

It took me several hours, because every 10 minutes I would drop one of those assinine detent springs on the floor and have to go on a tedious search and rescue mission.
I know EXACTLY what your talking about. Those detent pins are a REAL PAIN IN THE *!! Ok rant ended.
"Gunner sabot tank! Identify! UP! Fire! ON THE WAY!!" <<boom>>
"It's all about shot placement..."
it took me almost an day and half. Because I lose the roll pin for the trigger guard.[:D] Other wise it would have taken me almost 8min.

The part I consistently loose is the spring loaded pin that retains the front hinge pin ... If don't loose that I can put together a carbine in about 15 minutes ... about 30 if I have to assemble the upper ... providing I don't loose the detent balls for the rear sight [:(!]

? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.
It takes me about 4 hours to complete.
On a AK47, with a bent receiver with rails installed & with a surplus parts kit, it also takes me about 4 hour to complete one of those bears.
