First Owned AR-15

[DreamerzCC]

Wife got me the best Xmas gift ever. Now I have 4 S&W's in the fold. Bodyguard 380, SD9, Shield 9mm and the M&P15. Scope will be here Saturday just in time for the 2nd shoot.

Very nice. I'm picking up the exact same gun today and it will also be the 4th S&W for me. I already have a Shield 9, Compact 9 and Compact 22.

Wait, I forgot I also have a 15-22 so this will be my 5th S&W. Now it's on you to catch up!

If you paid taxes you owned the M16 you used also, you just let the USMC take care of "your" gun for you.

Enjoy your new present!

Congrats, great gun for the money.

Congrats! Do yourself a favor and replace that MI spec trigger as soon as you can. You won't be sorry. If you can't drop $200+ on a 'top shelf' trigger group (Wilson - Geissele - Elftman - etc.), take a look at some of the drop-in triggers offered by Rise Armament. For around $130 you can get a real decent trigger group that is waaaaaaay better than the stock one.

ARs are handy rifles to have around. If it were me, I would be rounding up a spare parts kit, extra magazines and a generous supply of ammo while the rounding up is good. But I am old so what do I know.

You are headed down the rabbit hole my friend.

The Raptor charging handle is a good one.

If you don't like the trigger, try this first: 15 Minute Practical Trigger Job for the AR-15
It will make a very nice trigger and won't cost you a dime. Well, the polish might cost a couple bucks.

Don't rush into the single point sling. They great for clearing rooms/buildings, but for actually carrying the rifle they're terrible. Look toward a 2 point first. They're more comfortable and can be used to help steady the rifle for longer shots.

Very nice,
Is that front grip light a factory item?
Cant seem to find it on the SW website

Not a bad rifle for starters. You'll likely find yourself down the rabbit hole of upgrades in no time. You've been warned!

 

[mcap1655]

To add to the trigger upgrade options. Consider the Larue trigger. I have the MBT-2S ($80+) in six rifles and find it very close to the Geissele ssa-e ($200+). YMMV

Another trigger to look at is ALG if you are looking for something better than the above mentioned trigger job. I think they run for about $40-$50.

 

[Westie1]

the first thing to decide on if replacing the trigger, is single or two stage trigger. The LaRue is a two stage, and can be had with either a curved bow trigger or a straight bow. The ALG is a single stage. Personally, I went with the LaRue curved, only one available at the time. Like the idea of staging the trigger prior to firing. Gives me a little better option. as to whether or not I want to take the shot.

The LaRue MBT is a single stage or two stage and comes with straight or curved bow.

I have used the two stage in both curved and straight and they are fantastic triggers for $80.
