Arfcom,


Just wanted to say thanks. I just bought my first AR and I just couldn't have done it without you.





I ordered Spikes Tactical's base-model M4 with one of their no-logo lowers, the Samson rear flip up sight and soft MOLLE case. Indcluding the arfcom discount code and shipping I'm only out $827. Customer service was great too!





So yeah, I don't have it yet I just ordered today but I wanted to say thanks for being here with all your great information. I'll definitely post pics when it comes in though.
Also,


The current plan is to buy a bunch of wolf polymer 69 grain from ammoman. Anyone have feeding/other problems with this type in their AR?


EDIT: NVM I found my answer http://ammo.ar15.com/ammo/project/select_wolfok.html




Anyone have suggestions for must-have accessories? I'm mostly going to be plinking with it.





Thanks,


Ryan

Ammo Ammo Ammo...
Magazines...  20 rounders are good for range work.  I have 4, and the rest are 30's.
Sling and light

Anything else is the gravy.  Practice a lot and take any classes you get the chance to.  Welcome!

Thanks!



I am definitely planning on a bunch of PMAGs and ammo.



Luckily my budget was $1k so now I have some wiggle room.




Not sure I have enough for courses just yet. Do they have AR competitions though? I have shot IDPA before so maybe there is an AR equivalent?

Welcome and congrats on buying a great first rifle!

You've got it, Pmags and ammo are all you need since you were smart enough to get a great rifle. Once you shoot it a bit you'll figure out what you want to buy whether it be a better flash hider, different stock, red dot optic, nicer grip, a sling, railed handguard & VFG/AFG etc.

UPDATE:
Well there's been a slight delay. Spike's is apparently back-ordered on non cold hammer forged M4 barrels so I decided to upgrade to the cold hammer forged barrel and switched to a DD 1.5 fixed rear. It brings the price up over 1k when you include the overnight. :)




I'm sure it'll be worth it.




Here's hoping it gets here by the weekend!
