I finally took the plunge and picked up an AR. My AR is nothing to brag about as I'm hoping to learn more about the platform before seeking anything high end or maybe not due to a limited budget. I have a C3 Defense Lower with DPMS parts kit, a complete DPMS A3 upper with 5.56 16" barrel, Magpul MOE Handguard, ATI Adj. Stock and a Tasco Red Dot. I've already picked up 6 mags and some ammo, but would like a few other necessities before making my first range outing (i.e. discreet carrying bag, sling and cleaning kit). I'm also hoping to invest in some decent optics soon or at least a detachable carry handle or buis.

In the meantime, I'm just browsing through the site for information and helpful suggestions. There seems to be plenty of good information here to keep me busy for a while (Thanks).
