Quick things to keep in mind when setting up your AR-15

Keep it light and singular in purpose

• Have a lightweight 16″ upper for with iron sights and a red dot for CQB use and a heavyweight 20″+ upper with a bipod and long range scope for long range use. 
  • Don’t try to turn a 16″ M4 into a combination CQB/Sniper rifle.
  • It will do neither very well

Magazines

• Magpul PMAGs all the way
• Stay away from the cheap alumninum mags
  • Cheap = DRAMA
• Stay away from the drum magazines
  • “A fool and his money…”

Ammunition

• The vast majority of AR15s out there are chambered in 5.56.
  • This means that they will also shoot .223

Brands

• Rock River Arms, Stag Arms, and Smith & Wesson have solid reputations
• Do your research on www.ar15.com 
• Stick with a military spec design to ensure parts compatibility
• Colt has been riding on their name for a long time…

Slings

• Keep it simple with a two point sling
