Hey guys, just thought I'd quick lurking, drop a line and introduce myself. I'm from Southeast Michigan I picked up my first AR about a week ago. It's the Stag Arms Model 8. Haven't even had a chance to fire it yet and it's not stock anymore. I've added a Magpul MOE triggerguard, Magpul MIAD grip, picked up a few Pmags and also a Swift Optics reflex sight (with a detachable 1.5x booster). I have a buddy who works for swift so I got a sweet deal on the optics. Anyway, I know you all are picture whores, so here ya go

Welcome to the site.

Right out of the gate, I am going to suggest you practice with irons before you get into optics.

But don't listen to me, because I am just a crazy old fool.

Do post pictures please.

Welcome from somebody who's also in SE MI.

Perhaps you're painfully aware of the ridiculous prices and crappy selection of .223/5.56mm ammo at most gun stores around here. I've seen stuff locally for double what many online stores charge.

haha, ya. I was at dunhams today, and a 300 round box of Federal was .50 cents a round. damned expensive for buying in bulk. I was lucky last week when I went to Dick's Sporting Goods they had Remington UMC on sale for $6.98/box of 20. I bought them out of the 320 rounds they had left. Even though I'm a noob, I won't shoot .20/round wolf.

Where in MI are you?

+1 for Palmetto, -1 for the feet.  


Not to break your balls, but I'm still shooting UMC I picked up for $3 a box.  And I overpaid at the time.

+1 for palmetto state armory, they have 3 different brands of M855 type ammo for about as much, or less than stores around here want for the "cheap" Russian stuff.

In fact, OP, they have both M855 & M193 for less than what you said you paid for the UMC stuff.
