Hey Everyone, I'm relatively new to the site, just recently got my first AR, an LE6920MPS. Since it has the magpul rails, what accessories would y'all recommend? I'm already planning to get a mounting bracket for a Surefire.
Thanks for the input! |

Light, sling and a quality red dot, all a fighting rifle needs.

An optic, mags, and ammo.
Some training if there is a quality instructor in the area. If the trigger doesn't smooth out you can replace it with an ALG ACT or something better. Here's your picture:  |

Thanks for the feedback and pic! What did I do wrong posting it?
I'm planning on getting an Aimpoint T-1 or T2 on Larue mounts after the new year. I've got 11 pmags already and plan to keep buying them while they are affordable. Sling is definitely on the list to buy. I'm not terribly far from Tulsa and I'm told there are high quality instructors there. |

Mags, personally like at least 7 for each rifle and ammo.
After that its usage based for accessories. Quality quick detach is your friend though. Home defense/ fighting gun, long range target, range plinking, or competition are different setups. Larue or bobro mounts make it possible to do it all with the same gun easily. |

I didn't know Colt was using SL plastis as OE furniture. Very cool.
You did good. A 6920 was my first AR too. Mine was back when they had .170" pins, restricted rollmarks, and semi auto carriers. |

Congrats, nice choice with your new LE6920MPS with new Magpul SL furniture.
The new MPS MOE series models was not even shown in the Colt 2015 catalog but they were just added at the Colt site awhile back. Since you already got some mags, ammo, maybe get a sling first there are plenty to choose from, popular brands are Magpul MS, Vickers VCAS, and Viking Tactics VTAC (or their LaRue Tactical padded version), two point slings. The current trend in slings are the 2 point convertible to 1 point, Magpul and Vickers (made by Blue Force Gear) have these two to one point models and the Viking Tactics & LaRue version you could get a 2 to 1 conversion attachment. Then you could add a Magpul M-Lok sling mount either QD sling swivel or the Magpul ParaClip type (which ever comes with your sling), next would be a Magpul M-Lok light mount for a Surefire light. And when you're pretty good with your iron sights then it's time to get your Aimpoint red dot sight. |

It was very shilly here last night, I had to wear my heavy winter jacket.

Can I ask what you paid for it? I got it for $879 from grabagun.com For a first gun, you did well. Yes, get 7-10 Magpul Gen 2 window mags. Learn to shoot with the iron sights, then get a red dot. Personal preference, but you may consider a Ranier Raptor CH. I also prefer the MOE+ grip over the SL, but again, preference. Congrats. You now have the disease.. Go forth and build your next 3. You must have a mid-length, a 7.62*39, and an SBR. Not necessarily in that order.

This should just be called the LE6920. Make this their base gun and be done with it. Looks great OP!
Come to think of it... It looks a lot like one of my beaters.  |

Light, sling, optic, mags, and ammo... you should be good. Many would also say training class, trigger, and possibly upgrade charging handle, in no particular order, as well. Mags and ammo for sure. Sling and light, then optic. Then potentially trigger. Don't forget extra lower parts kit, extra BCG...which end up becoming your next rifle. Rinse and repeat. |

Again, welcome to the club! I'm close to Springfield so Joplin is close, my wife used to live there in fact. I'll keep Max Life Expectancy in mind. Thanks! And thanks to all that have answered so far, great information and I'm making a nice shopping list, gonna try to get a case or two of ammo a month to stockpile... |
