[ARCHIVED THREAD] - My First AR need a few suggestions

Posted: 5/20/2005 6:19:49 AM EDT

I bought a new Bushmaster A3 16".

I need some new hand guards, grip, and scope. I will also want to add a flashlight so I need some that can allow me to attach that.

I saw a 3 rail system but I think that makes it too wide. Wouldn't I want something that allows it to attach to the under side of the hand guards?

Any information and pics would be more tha welcome.

Thanks
Don

I don't know what your level of experience may be, but I'd opt for ammo and mags prior to accessorizing your rifle. If you can specify your needs and experience, I'm sure there's a wealth of suggestions on the way.

I'm new to adding things to the AR.

I just want to add the ability for a flashlight, get a red dot scope, and a new grip. Front hand guards so O am add things at a later time if I find something cool.

YHM 2 piece rail, surefire tac light and mount, aimpoint, Houge or tango down grip, good sling

h/w i'll second the general and say just get LOTS of mags and ammo.....

M33 handgaurds
KAC foregrip
G-2 light
viking light mount
pro mag scope mount
tac star blue ring

I would not go with the M33s if I was going to mount a scope to them. I would go with a free floating set of handgaurds.

good luck

The YHM 2-piece handguard is probably your best bet for price and decent quality as well as easy to install.
