Spikes ST-T2 buffer
BCM polished trigger group
BCM grip
Trijicon MRO on Larue 1/3 QD mount

This was an intended budget 'nice' AR. Put it together for right around $575-$600, then another $500 for the optic.

For paint, it's all Aervoe, did a base of Earth Yellow, and Earth Red.

On top the brown is Drab, and then Olive Drab. Was just a quick go, didn't give anything time to dry, didn't take my time, didn't really give a fawk.







k peace out bye
Repaint!

You're gonna really enjoy it.

Try to sign up for an introductory class. Also, when you take possession of the rifle, have the dealer show you how to work the charging handle, how to load and release a magazine, and how to work the safety and bolt release. Keep in mind that the safety will only engage if the hammer is back, and that the weapon was designed to be kept on safe until ready to pull the trigger.

For your Daniel Defense Sights, this is a good video on zeroing them. I'd recommend putting a target at 25 yards, shooting a 5-shot group from the prone off of a backpack, and adjusting your sights to be one inch low at 25 yards. That will have you on target at 50 yds, a little high at 100, and back on at 200.

A good source for hands on learning the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship (in between discussions on Liberty and our early American Heritage)

https://appleseedinfo.org/schedulemap/

It would be most efficient to know the basic function of your rifle before attending. Ask Ike said, you can ask where you pick it up and hope they aren't stupid, but YouTube is probably better. Just be able to load and unload a magazine, insert the mag, charge the rifle (load a round into the chamber), on/off safe, unload, lock the bolt back...that will all be in the owners manual as well

Nice, can't wait either, website with the Colt is pretty close to me so I'm hoping shipping is pretty quick and I can get set up nicely

Great info, thanks for making the process a lot easier and less intimidating, you've really helped add to the hype

I'll make sure to take your advice, was already planning on asking the shop to go over the weapon with me and help me understand it's components. Already started looking up classes and such as well so I can really make sure I understand how to use and take care of this rifle.

When you get it in, follow this video to take down the gun, give it an initial cleaning, lube, and reassemble

18" rifle made by Ruger? Nah. Midlength is better than carbine, but carbine is still what 90% of all ARs run.

EDIT: 4140 steel and a brake for a primary rifle? Come on...

whats up everyone... anyone have experience with a Sig Sauer AR? specifically the M400? Any opinions on it are appreciated as I'm looking to get my first AR. Yeah I could go with simple and basic but functional like the S&W M&P Sport, but I have a Sig Sauer P226, so I know they're quality guns...

I also carry a S&W Shield, so I know S&W aren't bad guns either, but I'm just looking for opinions on their AR's. Thanks all.

The Sig M400 VTAC is the model comparable to the gun in the OP, and will cost you about $500 more. For $500, you can upgrade the furniture on the gun in the OP (~$65 for a B5 Bravo Stock and a BCM Grip), put in a Geissele Trigger (SD-Es are almost always $180 or so on black friday), and be 3/4 of the way to buying an Aimpoint PRO.

Buy the Colt in the OP if you want an AR.
