Ok so this is my 2nd thread on the forums but I've been lurking around for some time now getting a lot of good info.  I bought my AR15 about 2 weeks ago and am already starting to get little things here and there for it.

Recently I just picked up a ERGO rubber grip, CAA Stock Saddle, and a 45round AK magazine.  I must say with the addition of the grip and stock saddle the comfort of the weapon in hand is so much more comfortable in any position. I did a before and after shoot and I can already notice improvement in just how I hold the weapon and how much more firm it fits in my hand.  

Like I said I'm still new to the whole AR scene but if anybody has any other recommendations for small less expensive upgrades I would be more than happy to hear them. Thanks

Check out the new 9-stage NM triggers. Each stage is 1/2lb, totaling the required 4 1/2 pull for national matches.

Could you give me a link to those? What does that all mean exactly? The trigger pull will only be 1/2lb? Thanks

Forget about him....he forgets what it's like to be the new guy on the block and was just giving you a load of bull.

There is no such thing as a 9 stage trigger.  Don't worry about 2 stage or other triggers at this point.


As far as upgrades....first get mags and ammo (mags may not always be around...and ammo prices continue to rise).  Second get ya a sling and some range time w/ the irons.  Throw in a class or two if possible.  Then get an optic or whatever other accessories you need such as a light or vfg.

 Yeah, I need the link for their custumer service dept. I'm having trouble w/stage four breaking a little light. I don't want to get disqualified at my next CMP match for a technical issue.

plenty of ammunition.

lots of range time.

decide on what you're going to use the rifle for and then pick up accessories.

simple is usually best.

Thanks for the info guys.  Definitely will pick up some more mags, and ammo.  This summer will be lots of range time.  I want to keep it simple for now I say, but will mostly use it for range and maybe get into some small competition shoots, as I have my USP for home and personal defense.

No hard feelings about the joke about the triggers. It didn't sound like it made sense but I know what it's like to be a new member on a forum so It's all good.

That gentlemen right there is certainly one you can ''trust''. He has plenty of great info, if you are opening to learning, there is a ton you will learn here. On the other hand, as you have experienced already, you will get the smart ass know it all keyboard commandos aswell. So far, the advice that has been given is perfect for you. In my opinion, no matter the firearm, when you first acquire it, before familar with it, inside and out. Get lots of practice before you go out and get all the accessories. What good is a rifle witth all the bells and whistles, if you arent familar with the basics first. Welcome aboard!
