AR

Got my first AR last week and enjoying it, can anyone reccomend the best place to purchase accessories? Magazines, Stocks, handguards, etc.

I've got some stuff from http://www.pkfirearms.com/ and they give great service and are fast. If they don't have it in stock its not on the website which makes finding things easier at times. So what brand and model did you get? Also I saw the other thread where you asked about 223 laoding data, do I take it that you got one with a .223 chambered barrel?

Edited to add: BTW I really like the Magpul PMAGs which PK has in stock right now for a good price.

Enjoy the rifle, I never thought I had any use for one til I got it, now I wouldn't part with it. I took my last three coyotes with it.

I got my hands on a bushmaster xm15e2s hbar 5.56/223 I think that is a good one, Yall probably kill me if i told ya what i got it for. lol Its only had 20 rounds put through it. The guy bought 1 box of shells shot it and called me cause he didnt like it.

OK that is a 1 in 9 twist barreled gun, it will like heavier bullets for the most part. Mine is 1 in 9 also and loves 60 to 69 grain bullets but hates 55 grainers.

I guess the 1:9 barrels vary. Mine loves anything that I feed it. Also, there is a show today and tomorrow at the state fair grounds in Little Rock. Look around there for some stuff.

Yeah me and my buddy phil (arguntrader) were supposed to go but he had stuff come up and so did I So neither of us are gonna make it.

Mine has been shootin 55 gr with no problem, but with that twist should i be using heavier? Im not used to such small grains, but again this is my first ar. I have mainly 308,30\30,270 and stuff like that.

In my experience two things stablize a bullet, speed and twist. A 1 in 9 twist usually likes bullets up to 69 Sierras sometimes 77 Sierras but it will need to be tested. I assume you reload your own..
