If you’re looking to “build” a gun from the ground up ARs are one of the few that
can be the quintessential “drop-in” and “bolt together” gun... and even when they’re not there is generally very little fitting that has be done to a “MIL-SPEC” gun. In any configuration building an AR from the ground up will require a few special tools and sturdy bench vise. And with all that said, in many (most?) instances one may find they are better off to simply buy a complete gun and then modify it to their liking... but I also understand the pleasure and pride that comes from building stuff.

And I will echo the comment above... AR15.com is a good place to go for information so long as one has a sturdy BS meter and is willing to wade through erroneous information to find the good stuff.
