My first AR

[Guest Caveman]

I bought my first AR and thought I would show off a bit. It is a Rock River Arms LAR-15. Most of the set-up had already been done when I bought it, I added the optic, flashlight, sling, AFG and I have a laser on the way.

[Garufa]

That is sufficiently evil.

[Guest proudsuthrner]

NICE!!!

[Il Duce]

nice but why two foregrips?

Doesn't owning an AR mean attaching every doo-dad to it possible?

[Raoul]

cool!

Everyone should have one.

[Guest Caveman]

I had both and since this is my first AR I figured I would put both on for now to play around and see what I like.

Are you left handed? How do you operate the light?

[Jasongar8]

How do you like the UBR?

[JeffsSig]

You did good.

So easy even a CAVEMAN can do it.

I started out with broomhandles and graduated to AFG's. Mount it as far forward as possible and you'll see a dramatic difference in your ability to control the weapon. I would have an AFG on my SCAR, but there wasn't enough room on the rail for my GG&G bipod

The Tango Down is working pretty well though.

I had an AFG on my Ruger SR556 and I was really impressed. When I bought it I was skeptical about whether or not I would like it but that was cured quickly.

I'd invest in some Magpul back-up iron sights. If your optic fails in the field you'll basically be shooting an AK-47 . Also look into the Magpul BAD Lever...a very nice addition for $30.

I also hung everything I could find off of my first AR including lights and lasers. Once you realize that you don't need them you'll take them off and be much happier...lol If you do use it for home defense (please buy a shotgun...lol) then the light is good to have. To each his own, if you like all the gismos than cool. If you have to have a light, I'd get a Streamlight TLR-2 and mount it in front of your forward grip. A nice laser/light combo in a very compact package. This will reduce the bulkiness of the rifle and there's no pressure switch to deal with.

Nice rifle, much better than my first AR-15!

I am right handed. How do I operate the light...? I rotate the back until the light comes on.

The UBR is awesome. I have one on my Remington 870 as well, I love them like the sun loves the flower...

I've been looking at that too.

OK, so after SUNTZU gave me a talking to and dats82 made a similar comment, I decided to mount my flashlight on the other side to give me the super tacticool urban commando advantage of being able to control the flashlight instead of just turning it on and leaving it on. I will be doing tactical rolls and assault drills in no time.

I told you that when you bought the gun, dumbass...

Yeah, but I don't listen to you.

[Guest SUNTZU]

You should name it Sat Cong.

[Mark@Sea]

Nice rifle - you're ready for the zombie poodles!

[Mike.357]

well that pretty much covers anything I was going to add.

Speak when spoken to, that's what good girls do. Haven't I told you this before Mike? You know what happens when I have to tell you twice....
