    Recommend a lightweight AR15

    Obligatory question about budget and optic preferences?

    Affordable red dot sights not made in China - Recommendations?

    As many above have said, fortunately/unfortunately you get what you pay for. I've heard it said: Price, quality, speed - pick 2. I think the parallel in optics is: price, quality, not-made-in-china.

    Hand guard length

    What are you hoping to gain by making the change? Better ergonomics? Accuracy? Mounting options? (light?, aiming device?, both?). Just aesthetics?

    First AR

    I think the NY restrictions only apply to rifles capable to taking a detachable magazine. Once he pins, by NY’s definition, it cannot be an assault weapon and he can as many features as he pleases :)

    First AR

    Does that mean you’re committing to the fixed mag? (Also nice choices :thumbup:)

    M1 Carbine v. AR-15

    The argument for the M1 over the M4 is an emotional one. I honestly can’t think of an objective criterion in which it wins for defensive applications with modern shooting techniques. Ultimately though, like all those above me have said, shoot/carry what you like. Freedom is a wonderful thing :)

    First AR

    https://worldoftroy.com/product/troy-folding-pump-action-rifle-optic-ready/ I would think about this. The NY-compliant ARs look kind of like an abomination to me. You either give up the ergos to keep a detachable mag or you go fixed and you reload more slowly than your revolver. The mini-14...

    AR-15 Iron Sights

    So you’re looking for backup sights for a rifle that’s going to have a scope as a primary sight? This means you’re looking at a folding rear most likely. A non folding model wouldn’t clear your ocular bell, so you’d have to mount too far forward for a normal eye relief scopes. Unfortunately...

    AR-15 Iron Sights

    What function are you trying to gain with you sight over the A2 style? Sight picture? Mode of adjustment? Aesthetic? That will help guide

    AR sights

    What’s the role that he wants this rifle to fill? Plinker? Lower cost red dot vs variable optic vs irons. Advise metal for the front sight at the very least. If he shoots quickly the gas block will heat up. Potentially to plastic melting temps. Defensive? Spend a little more on a nicer...

    First AR-15 Suggestions

    So after reading this, I think it’s important for you to know you’ll need to make some compromises. You need to decide what’s most important. If price + performance is most important, get a 20 inch govt profile a4 upper and a carry handle sight. if price + versatility is most important, 16...

    Ammunition

    https://ammoseek.com/ It’s out there. As you you’ve probably surmised, it’s not cheap, but if you’re truly only looking for a few boxes, it’ll get you by.

    Ruger LCR .327

    So which LCRs are you considering? Have you committed to the 2 in stock at you HS, or are you committed to .327 and you’re trying to decided hammer or no? I guess it probably comes down to how you carry it. If pocket carry is part of your practice, it’s easy I would avoid the hammer. If...

    One 9mm

    Agree, it can do everything you could want from a 9mm. And for some reason I’ll never fully understand, I shoot it better than a 17. My pinky must be working against me?
