I have had the AR for a while now and have been looking ofr a scope setup for it. I asked here for some opinions and you guys were all very helpful. i appreciate that. I decided to go with the MPOII from Eotech and an A.R.M.S buis, which fits comfortably under the 3x magnifier. What do you guys think?

I had been reading about this gun for some time and was in the market for a revolver. I was hoping to have a chance to fire one first, but after holding a number of different ones at the gun store, this was much more comfortable for me than any of the others. I have not yet been to the range with it, as work is always in the way of things I want to do. Here a re a couple of pics.

RRA suggests no break in for this barrel, as it is done by them before it is sent off. I just purchased an Eotech setup for it and plan to get to the range soon to zero it and actually get used to firing it. Anyone suggest any place to buy ammo? At least I know what to get now.

Ok, so either of those rounds would be fine for SHTF or range shooting? I have the tactical operater LAR-15. It is a 1:9 twist. I am just trying to learn as much as I can about the right ammo to use and for what. Ar is a new platform for me, and I like to know as much as I can about anything I own. I appreicate the tips and info guys.

Well, according to one site, a 1:9 is more forgiving to different types of ammo. I am not sure if this is true, but that is what I read. It was recommended that 193 be used for closer range, while 855 was rtecommended for over 200 yards. Again, if anyone has any info or opinions, let me know.

Wow! Guess it pays to look. Thanks man. It is a 1:9.

I have been reading through these forums and also doing some research online about ammunition for the Ar15. When I looked on RRA's website, it states that my rifle has a 1:9 twsit, however, in the instrcution manual it states the barrel is 1:7. Anyone have any insight on this?

Sure, there is always a way to spend money.

LOL, yea just like that. I was looking into the Eotech with magnifier combo a while back. I then though the scope may be a better option becasue the combo price was around 900 bucks anyway....decisions, decisions....

As you said, welcome to the wonderful world of Ar's right? Here are my thoughts. This is a short barrel gun. It is not really meant for loing range shooting, so much. I maybe I am wasting money even putting a scope on this thing. Maybe a red dot with a magnifier would make more sense? Man...I don't know....

Thanks man. I know we all have our own preference. I am just trying to get as much info as I can without throwing money away in the process. I like your setup alot. Nice looking guns! What scope do you have on the M4? I was trying to research that scope I put the link up to, but not much info to be found. I know it is not high end but then, I don't have a grand to spend right now....

I am not really too concerned with the added weight. From the reviews I've read, everyone seems to really like this stock on the AR. I am just not sure it will fit my rifle.

OK, one more question and I won't bother you guys for a while. I really like this stock. http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=22731/avs%7CManufacturer_1=MAGPUL/Product/AR_15_M16_AR_STYLE__308_GENERATION_II_PRECISION_RIFLE_STOCK__PRS_ The description says it will fit A1 or A2 buffer tubes WITHOUT A2 space. Do I have a spacer??? I took the stock off and it looks like the tube is all one piece???

Hmm, I just rrealized that the scope I am looking at comes with the quick detach mount. Maybe this will work ok.

I see what you guys mean. This AR does have flip up front sight and the rear is part of the carry handle. The scope I was looking at is made for this setup. It has a hollow mount so you can see through for the stock iron sights. I suppose it comes down to personal preference on what to do here?

Ok, so my question then is, if I lose the carry handle and mount the scope, does this now mean the iron sites are uselss with the scope in place?

Thank you guys. I am lookign forward to getting to the range with this thing. I do need some help though. I am planning to mount a scope to the carry handfle and would like to add an adjustable cheek rest to the stock. Here is the problem. It came with the RRA A2 stock. (bottom one in the link.) http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=392 Do you know if this rest will work? http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=643824 Does anyone have a better suggestion for adjustable cheek rests on this stock?

Thanks guys. I do plan to shoot much further. It is a era. Ray can you explain the Co witness to me?

Umm, so I take it you see the AR as a bad choice. Well, I know the Ak is proven, and I would like to get one eventually, but this will have to do for the time being. Anyway, I purchased this at Casso's. Any advice on my questions?

Hello everyone. I have been on the forums for a while reading and trying to learn from those of you in this for a while. A while back I was asking about what Ar-15 to go with, and after looking at quite a few, I realized that I was going to buy the one I felt the most comfortable with, so here is what I went with. I have yet to go to the rrange with it, but I am looking to install a few things on it. It has BUIS installed form the manufacturer, and I am wondering what you guys would do as far as adding a scope. Any pictures of what you have and some advice would be much appreciated. I am not planning to shoot more than 200 yards most of the time, but would like the ability to do so if I ever have the chance. Also, how do you guys feel about a red dot with a magnifier added to it? One other thing I would like to add is a sling. Any ideas on that? Thanks again everyone.

Yes, it was a cool design and it is arare piece because it is a semi auto with a fixed barrel. It was made famous in Death Wish III. I always wanted to buy one, but have had no luck getting in touch with the company.

I have been interested in buying a Wildey Survivor ever since I watched Death Wish 3, many years ago. I tried to contact Widley guns and had no luck. Does anyone know if they are still in business or where to get one of these? I know that this is not a very practical gun, but I would like to own one.

Ok, that's all I wanted to hear! Appreciate it!

I am awaiting my AAR for arrival. I bought the RRA tactical operator. My question is on the front sight. I was planning to install a set of Troy back-up iron sights, but the store told me today that the front sight may not be very easy to remove from the rofle. I have zero experience with an AR and wanted to ask some opinions on this. I do plan to install a holographic sight but wanted the option of using the flip up iron sights as well....
