Building is fairly easy but I would agree with buying a complete one the first time.
I'm with the others. PSA or look on wikiarms for deals. I've had a Panther Arms DPMS that the purists would probably giggle at the brand but it never missed a beat.
Buy a cheaper AR and put a quality scope on it. Buy magazines and buy ammo.

Same here. Mine has never failed to feed, fire, and eject. I really like it.
I went with a LWRC because of their reputation and quality,

I agree with the guys who recommended PSA. I got a couple of their fully assembled rifles, they're great.
Before you buy one.... what's he going to do with it? Is it for target practice? Varmints, 2 legged, or 4 legged?
That's an important thing to consider before buying.

Both ways are are good options. I have purchased several and both are fun. Like all firearms there are levels to it and what you want to spend. Me personally I like Colts and BCM's, but they are a little more than a Bushmaster or S&W. Get on the BCM site and click around and see what you can built and a final price.
I have always wanted a BCM! But I don't shoot enough to tie that much money up in one.
I have one most of you probably have never heard of. Got it a few years ago from Harvey's in K-town. I reckon it's had 100 rounds run thru it. I don't use it much but it has not given any problems. Here is a link if you want to check them out.
Oh, I forgot to mention it shoots 556 or 223 without any problems
I bought a PSA upper and built one with the help of a buddy. Like you I don't really care for them and said if Obama got elected I'd get one. Well I didn't but finally built one a year or two ago. Still haven't shot it yet.

For an already built gun, I would recommend aero precision or rock river. For the money, they are hard to beat.
I'd get one without the M16-style front post sight. Best way to shoot these is with a red dot or scope.
At the time I got my Ruger MPR, it was utterly impossible to build one for all the features it has. The trigger is magnificent, accuracy is great, and muzzle rise is almost nothing even compared to other AR's—it's a rifle-length gas system instead of a short length. Muzzle break is loud but excellent. MLOCK rails all around make it stupid customizable.
Only upgrade I'd consider is a nickel-boron BCG, but it doesn't need it.

If you've already owned a couple and are familiar with what parts of the gun are worth putting extra money in to, you can build one MUCH cheaper with some patience…. But you have to put it together
I don't know anything about this Mfg, but KY Guns has them on sale for $400.
