Looks good. I would swap that MOE for something that has a QD like a B5 or CTR.

If you've ever pulled guard duty you'd find out the A2 grip absolutely destroys your wrist. Might want to consider replacing it with something like a magpul that doesn't have such a steep angle. Cheap to replace too.

Anyway, it was the last rail the shop had available, so I wouldn't have had much choice anyhow. |

Sounds like a workable setup with good guts. There's nothing wrong with the Troy rail.
You do need that sling and a light too if you have HD/SD in mind. |

I don't have large hands, but I do think I would like a slightly beefier grip than the A2 grip. |

Get a more vertical pistol grip, magpul for a more traditional angle, B5 or BCM for something more vertical.
BCM Mod 3, my personal favorite Get a better CH, Geissele ACH, Radian, are great low profile choices. Geissele ACH Tan, in stock, my first choice Radian Raptor-LT, for the operator on a budget, my second choice. I know people hate on it but get something better than an A2 birdcage. If you aren't getting a suppressor mount, then get something like a Vg6 brake, not too expensive and they work great. The Gamma is the best performing IMO, just don't get the short 2 chamber version as the top has more ports to make up for loss of a third blast baffle and can get uncomfortably bright sometimes. The 3 chamber version doesn't have this issue. VG6 Gamma 556 SL in stock |

The MOE stock is good but you’ll want a stock with a QD mount. I like the B5 bravo generally and the magpul MS1 sling. Also replace the A2 grip. Magpul MOE+ is a nice cheap option. |

Now that I think about it. How many rounds of ammo is enough? I currently have probably close to a thousand of 5.56. I know there are people who will say there is no such thing as enough. But really though. As a note, I do like to shoot frequently when I can. So I would imagine that I would need alot more. Currently searching for good sources to maintain my supply.

Currently searching for good sources to maintain my supply. "enough" is totally subjective. Personally I would not be looking to buy ammo in this market. Otherwise the "right" answer is as much as you can afford. Ammo doesn't go bad, and it behaves a lot like a commodity in terms of pricing fluctuations - so buy when it's low in order to still shoot when it's high. ETA: this is exactly why bulk online ordering of ammo is such a favored "thing". |

Last thing on my shopping list. So I'm looking for a new grip. The problem is I want something with a slightly larger swell. When shooting AR pattern rifles, the trigger has always been deep, at the second knuckle of my trigger finger (counting from the tip). I would like it to be less deep and closer to the tip for slightly more controlled trigger manipulation. So that would imply a slightly larger grip swell, I would imagine. I would also prefer FDE. My rifle is all black, and I initially wanted to do black receiver with FDE furniture. But times being what they are, my only option for the rail was black. I can still go for a FDE grip and stock I guess, hoping that won't look too weird. Honestly, I kinda wanted to go for a unique scheme, and FDE is getting kinda common, lol. Willing to change that up.
