I'm just starting an AR project. I'm putting an FFL and money order in the mail in the morning for my RRA stripped lower.
I've pretty much decided on buying a parts kit with an assembled upper for this one. I'm just not industrious enough to want to build an upper at this time.
The question is, what config should I build? I'm toying with the idea of a 20 in A3 upper with the normal front sight. I'll mostly use it for plinking/plate shoots, although the occasional coyote hunt might be a possiblity. I'm thinking A3, so I can swap optics to fit the task at hand. I'm also toying with the aluminum free float handguards.
Being a poor college kid, I'm looking at the cheaper red dot optics. Specifically, the kobra sight and the OKO sight.
My problem is I'm just too indecisive. I keep switching from 16in to 20 in, and various other options. Any suggestions for a good all around first AR?
