So, my new Larue will be my first foray into the AR-15 world. In anticipation of receipt of my rifle (God willing and the Wicked Witch of the West Coast don't rise), I'm looking for suggestions on what accessories to get to go with it.
I'm thinking this is going to be my "end of the world"/SHTF gun, but will use it for range fun, etc. Got any thoughts on how to pimp my tOBR? |
Go to LaRue's website and start filling up your shopping cart with index clips, a bipod, extra picatinny rails, iron sights, some sort of optic with a QD mount, sling, case, pressure switch light and new A-PEG grip. After you recover from bankruptcy, do it all over again!

I think you about covered it. Man it's easy to spend money when it isn't yours.

On my 14.5" PredatOBR 5.56 I'm going with:
EOTech EXPS 3-0 Aimpoint 3X with LT Tall Pivot Mount KAC Front Flip Sight Matech Rear BUIS Surefire/VTAC Mini-L4 with VTAC Light Mount Magpul/VTAC Hybrid Sling (VTAC Wide Sling with Magpul MS2 hardware) Magpul RSA Magpul ASAP Magpul BAD Lever Surefire Flash Hider LT Hand Stop LT APEG LT RAT The APEG and RAT might get replaced with the TD Battle Grip and Magpul CTR, depending on how I like the LT products after some range time. |

If I were you I'd be focusing on three-four things before "pimping":
Iron sites (get the LaRue marked Troys front n back) Mags Ammo Sling Everything else is gravy! But can't go wrong with: Index Clips Fug grip Aimpoint or ACOG Surefire light (may I suggest x300 ultra) Handstops |

My wishlist:
Magpul ASAP Magpul MIAD RAT or CTR with RISR not sure which yet Surefire Scout in LT 752 and SR07 Tape switch Harris BRM-S in LT706 for fun ACOG TA31 in LT100 KAC micro or Troy BUIS BADASS Ambi selector BCM Mod 4 CH Maybe a little cerakote... I think I'd be satisfied... |

You listed "Frog lube" and a T1 battery cover so I figured if you had another optic it would have been listed too. |

First AR? Serious answer?
Iron sights, sling, magazines, and ammo. Then get more magazines and more ammo. Throw in some more magazines and ammo. Put a couple of hundred rounds downrange minimum. Master your iron sights, reload drills, clearing stoppages, and shooting on the move. Once you run your gun instead of your gun running you, then you can "pimp" your gun. Mastering shooting fundamentals is more important than bling. |

The "pimping" part was me just looking for a catchy thread title. :) I've been a bit overwhelmed with the array of options in optics, slingmounts, lights, etc. so I figured I would ask. Thanks for all of the tips! |
