Okay, I'm a newbie to the OSA and firearms other than hunting (Remington 870, Muzzleloader, 30-30 Marlin) and I bought this AR-15 from my wives friend whose husband died. I have no idea what brand the upper is or the reason for the large tube on top. So, I need some help. Not only with finding out exactly what I have, but how to strip/clean and the function of ARs. Is there someone out there willing to spend a little time going over this? Is there a book/DVD that I should get? Help me out if you can, I hate being ignorant!
:thanku:

Magpul CTR. They're about $90 or so.

I've got one on one of my rifles if you want to handle one before you buy it.

Can you give me a hell yes :P I'd like to see what they feel like before I make a purchase. I do know that I would like a new stock with a cheek piece.

I've got a cheek piece that is made for the CTR I'll sell ya for $10 (they're $20 new). It's too high for me, makes my line of sight too high for the sights.

Of course, you can try that too before you decide you want it or not:D

Hey extreme, is there any functional purpose to use the orange mags for the range?

Well, it basically comes down to personal preference. For me there are a few reasons why I have converted to the orange mag for range, school and training use.

The first, I keep my good Hornady 5.56 in the black PMAGs while I reserve the orange for my LC M855 and other training ammunition. Keeps me from shooting the more expensive stuff unintentionally. Second, easier to see when I reload and don't retain the mag on a speed reload. The first time I used them was on a night fire and with a quick scan of the range with a flashlight the mags easily stood out among the dirt, grass, etc.

Thats about it, per your question, no there is no "functional" purpose to them. Work the exact same as my black mags, just orange polymer.
