Fixed it for you.

AR barrels 16" in length just need to be pinned. AR barrels 14.5" need to be pinned and welded as per ATF.

For shooting under 200 yds I would go with a 3x9 or 3x12 optic. This is just my opinion but I would not put a red dot on a 24" barrel I shoot out to 200 yds and I need magnification for a clear sight picture, But thats just me. Varmint barrels usually like 50gr ammo.

Did you buy the 24" barreled bushmaster AR. If so i'm pretty sure that's a bench rifle. I would be looking for a quality scope somewhere with the magnification of 3x18 With that barrel length you would have no problem going 600yds with match grade ammo. jmho

This advice is not one of your noob questions. Shoot your AR @ a outdoor range its just more rewarding. You will be able to track your progress shooting @ 25yds 50 yds 100 yds 150 yds 200 yds over time. Shooting a AR indoors is just a waste of good ammo, This is JMHO

It was a nice day at the range today. A little humid and no wind. Today I re confirm a zero I did three weeks ago , On my HD rifle 14.5" spikes CL LW mid length barrel with a 1x4 nikon scope. Then I set up plastic water bottles to shoot at around 160 yds.I set a dozen water bottles for the 14.5" colt socom barreled upper. Its a tack driver, And then setup another dozed to hit with a 16" CL green mountain 7.62x39 barrel upper. It was fun.
