| I am 16 years old and I just bought an AR about 2 months ago and I was just wondering if anyone has any good ideas on how i could make it cooler looking without completly emptying my wallet. IF it help I have a DPMS AP4 Carbine A3 with a Nikon Buckmaster 6-9X scope and a Rockmount bipod (9-13in.). |

Most of the "cool looking" accessories/replacement parts for an Ar-15 serve some function. Not saying you shouldn't buy them nor have a use for them but what to suggest kinda depends on what you want to do with it. You are lucky to have parents as nice as yours. I couldn't imagine many parents willing to buy an Ar15 for their 16 year old even with their own money. |
Hmmm. Plenty of Ammo Plenty of Mags A Good sling and Practice. Learn to use irons and scrap the scope & bipod for now. Nathan |
When I was 12 I had a Paper route. I saved up for my first Handgun that year. They did the background check for me, I paid for it. I kept it loaded next to my bed in case of any shit. It depends on the individual. Nathan |
I got my Bushmaster and M1A when I was 15. No doubt about them being great weapons. The only optic I have ever used on the XM-15 is the ACOG. What kind of magnification are you getting with the IOR? You said Clips... Whoops.

| just shoot it , clean and inspect it every time it is used. and in time you will realise what it is you "need". otherwise you will waste your money on stupid things that will sit unused.just don't be in a hurry to buy things you get what you need not bling. then after you get a good amount of experience you go with BRD and it goes on from there. |
Take a course from a place like the Sig Academy, Front Sight, Thunder Ranch, etc. There's an instructor here I take private lessons from sometimes, too - you can probably find one where you live by asking in your home-town forum or something. |

PK Firearms Is where my dad and I get alot of our stuff. Hey, Im 17 and just got my AR for Christmas. I know what you mean about trying to spend your money wisely on accessories. Depending on how you like to shoot, a vertical fore grip such as a Tango Down would be a good investment. To mount it, you can get a 6" section of rail with nuts and bolts to mount it to your hand guards for $20. |

Well I was going to tell you the same thing as Rodent, but I don't think you're going to listen. Most cheap AR accessories suck and the good stuff isn't cheap. www.eaglefirearms.net/ www.laruetactical.com/ www.bravocompanyusa.com/ www.globaltactical.com/ |
