Hello everybody. So I finally decided to take the plunge and purchase/build my first AR. I wanted something a little more comfortable for my wife and something I am somewhat accustomed to. I have been shooting for 25+ years now and miss doing it more often. Anyway, I compiled a little list of what I have coming in and how much. I am a little upset about some of it becuase I placed the order, went back the next day to look at what I have coming in and everything went on sale which would have saved me an extra $20+. Oh well, crappy timing and anxiousness I guess.

Charging handle upgrade to BCM Gunfighter - A stock CH will work fine, but you'll appreciate the BCM even more after that.

Since this is for my wife, what kind of laser, light, or combos would any one recommend?

I don't care for lasers myself, but if she's going to be semi-close range (100 yards), there are some nice inexpensive red dots.  The Bushnell TRS-25 is about $100.  Primary Arms has a nice micro red dot about the same, and there's always the Vortex Strikeforce for about $130.

Lasers are highly overrated IMO. You lose out on sight picture because most people look for the laser dot instead. A light depends on your intended use. Just a range toy? Not needed. Home defense? Get one.

Either a good set of iron sights or a red dot sight will serve you well.

Thanks guys. I'll sit down with her and talk about what she wants and cover the pros/cons of everything.

I tried putting up pics but it's not working for me. I'll keep working on it.
