New Purchase

Looking forward to learning much more about the AR 15.  And, getting ready to spend bucks on accessories.  Got the Aero Precision AR 15, from Brownells.  http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/receiver-parts/receivers/lower-receivers/ac-15-5-56mm-16-mid-length-rifle-prod82606.aspx?cm_sp=Landing%20Links-_-Landing%20Page-_-TP1_AC15_Firearm

I haven't touched an AR since 1990, so I'm kinda stoked to get reaquainted.  I know it isn't Daniel Defense or BCM, but I'll never compete or otherwise be in a heavy use situation until the SHTF.  Went by Guns N More to ask about the Ruger and S&W on sale.  Both are 4140 barrels and have carbine length gas systems, so I decided the AP price was pretty reasonable.  I could have gotten close (w/stainless) @ Palmetto Armory, but prefer black.  I think it will be a long time (or never) for a red dot sight; I'm thinking about the rail mountable M16 Handle.  Any info or help welcome.

Thanks to folks, in the forum, for helping with my education, past and future.

Congrats! I'm sure you will be happy with it. I have a couple AP lowers that I have built into rifles. I consider AP's quality as good as any.

I'm a big fan of Brownells too. They have great vidoes about AR15 accessories, maintenance, disassembly, etc. http://www.brownells.com/guntech/index.htm?avs|Make_3=AR-15zz1zzM4&avs|Learn%20Type_1=Video

Thanks Wingshooter.  Spent a lot of time on those videos already!

You made the right choice. I've recommended that rifle numerous times to people as an alternative to the others you spoke of. AP makes good stuff.
