Help with my AR-15

[redneck1861]

Hey everyone, I just purchased my first AR, and I am looking to accessorize it, I dont have any plans to use it for anything other than just having fun shooting it, I want it to look as cool as possible with out costing a fortune. It is a DPMS flat top with 16" barrel, I already have installed a detachable carry handle and front sight, and a quad rail system, I would like a verticle foregrip and flashlight, and anything else to make it look better, does anyone have any suggestions?
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks a bunch

I picked up a Magpul VFG; seems to be a nice touch; for coolness, how about a tactical light?

................................ Maybe instead of trying to make the gun look cool spend the money on ammunition and training to learn how to shoot it.


But if you want it to look cool at some magpul goodies and a aimpoint or eotech style optic. maybe a tactical light and some other stuff.



In all honesty the basic ar needs iron sights/ optic, good sling, flashlight and mags and ammo........

Either way have fun with it and enjoy it.

There are a ton of sites out there with cool stuff - I'm a big fan of all the MagPul furniture - it looks great and adds a tough look to your rifle...

I'd say some windowed Pmags, a tac light, a Magpul AFG2 (not AFG1), and a good sling then your good to go.

Magpul stock, pistol grip, mags, and Angled Fore Grip (all magpul if you can afford it) then buy a nice surelight with side mount and TONS of AMMO. As long as you have back up iron sights your good to go.

What is going on here?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but that sounds a lot like, "I want to make my '68 Corvette look really awesome and oh yeah I have a Briggs and Stratton 2 stroke under the hood right now..."

Some things work, some things don't. Magpul makes good stuff, but if you don't understand what makes it useful, you'll have more fun with a Daisy slingshot. Having a cool looking rifle you can't hit with isn't fun.

Iron sights & ammo. See if Will Andrews at H&H ((405) 947-3888)has put together another carbine class, or see when the next Appleseed is near to you.
