I finally got my first AR together today.  It's a No ban  RRA 16" entry Tactical FT with LMT BUIS and YHM FF with OD magpull rail covers on a STAG 15 lower with RRA NM trigger and  OD RRA 6 POS stock.  6P light from BF.  6 labelle 30 rd mags with od Magpuls with 28 rds of XM193 each.  Upon shooting it I was really pleased. I have pretty poor vison (Astigmatism ion both eyes) so I know I am not a Camp Perry shooter.  I alway had a hard time finding M-16 and M-14  front sights when I was in the Navy. I started at 50 yards  shooting at a  30" X30" steel plate and some assorted  bottles. Had a fist  sized group from my first 28 rounds and was  hitting  orange gatorade bottle tops I taped on it.  I am thinking hey this is pretty good.
          By this time my Brother in law had come over to see what i was doing. I then tried  some of the gatorade /lucas oil bottles,  these were empty.  Fired a couple rounds at each and could see them move a little. Thought I was missing them( so did he) but they were through and through hits. I then tried a water filled milk jug just to shut him up, the resulting "explosion"  and his Holy @#$% got me laughing.  Just for fun I dumped/bumped a whole mag  into the plate at 25 yards not trying for accuracy, I figured it would climb a lot on me it didnt  and the NM trigger  and ergo grip made it easy.  Now he wants one too. Tommorrow I will fire at more extended ranges but for now I am quite happy.

Welcome to the addiction, if you go to gun shows, ammo is usually cheapest there.  I buy 1000 rounds at a time for 100 bucks.  Im glad you like it.  I have really enjoyed mine this year, bought mine back in Jan.  Its a post ban bushy, but I will change all of that.

I shot my first AR about 2 months ago, a NM Colt, got a new RRA LAR-15 a little after that (Thanks MT_Pockets).  And shot at a High Power match last saturday.

I now have a very bad case of BRD.Brent
