[ARCHIVED THREAD] - My first AR

Posted: 9/25/2005 9:08:31 AM EDT

Here is what I was thinking of getting for my first AR along with an A.R.M.S. SIR an Aimpoint ML2 or 3 a Surefire M900-A and maybe a Gemtech M4-96D Can. Any suggestions would be welcomed and helpful.

Entry Tactical

32 looks and no comments or suggestions? Come on now people dont be scared.

Can you order it without the goofy handle (and get a discount)? If you're going to put optics on there, I imagine you're going to stop using the handle at some point, and a variety of BUIS are lighter and easier to use as back-up sights.

Just an opinion, not trying to knock your choice - that RRA model is a great rifle, and RRA have quickly developed an outstanding reputation!

I would dump the SIR as long as we are all being honest..... plenty of cheaper rails out there doing at least as good of a job, if not better.

So what kind of rail would you suggest Stickman?

There is a long thread regarding rails, and it ends up being a matter of taste. I guess one of the biggest questions is whether you need to free float the barrel or not. Non-free floated is much cheaper, and does much the same thing with the exception of allowing you to mount optics.
