And of course, signed up on this site. Been surfing for a couple of days, reading through topics...and please, forgive me on what can probably be considered ignorant questions over the next few months...at least till I get somewhat up to speed...Laugh.
So she's a pretty XM-15, a2...nothing special with a NcStar 4x illuminated scope. I haven't even gotten a chance to take her to the range.
Her previous owner only had her for 3 months, and fired maybe 20 rounds downrange.
This beauty even put me in the mind to go ahead and buy a gunsafe yesterday.
So I've ordered some 223 ammo and some Orlite clips I found for cheap...and can't wait to see how she shoots.
Now I'll be posting up a couple of questions I haven't been able to find the answer to on this site, or others...
But for now, I'll let you know I'm familiar with pistols and shotguns, but this is my first rifle. I wanted one that I could modify and that there would be support, and spare parts for, everywhere...
So what should a rifle newbie be aware of with these weapons?
