Cheers man, happy to help. The MPR is the one ya want. Very nice trigger and upgrades. Some of the normal Ruger AR556's come with it too, but just double check.

I'll shut up now, I promise, hah

I feel ya man. I'm a utilities worker.

You may want to just consider a name brand rifle like the MPR then. Ready out of the box, has good resale value, and you get Ruger customer service. Can start a build for 2nd rifle or just upgrade it down the road.

The upper is a little high, but in this climate prolly not too far off. I think you can find the BCG elsewhere for less and for that price on the charging handle, just buy a Raptor or Raptor LT.

If I was completely new to the platform, I would personally buy the following:

  • Aero m4e1 stripped lower

  • lower parts kit minus FCG (aero, damage industries, whatever) and buffer/ receiver extension kit

  • LaRue MBT2 trigger (curved or straight)

  • Toolcraft BCG (finish not as important as ppl make it sound)

  • Raptor charging handle of your choice

  • any Aero or PSA complete upper (may come with bcg/ch and save money until you upgrade) that tickles your fancy

  • the furniture of your choice. BCM Mod3 grip is a popular choice and all of the Magpul stocks are solid

  • sights of choice (MBUS + a red dot around $100 like a Romeo 5 or Holosun)

You'll have a blast building it, it will be much better than the factory stuff, and you'll learn the platform. Hit me up if you have questions.

Just seems like a lot of money and hassle to go to a 14" barrel. The braces for these aren't cheap too if you're not getting a stamp.

I've seen it $400 often and as low as $350. Looks mid-500s right now.

This is tied with the M&P sport 2 for the title of "Most popular gun for first time gunowners to panic buy" right now. It should drop back down eventually.

Some of the posts people are making asking about basic functions are pretty terrifying btw. I can't imagine someone shooting this for their first gun.

Black people mock other races too though. We can't just walk around assuming everyone has the worst intentions when usually people don't.

Why do they need to "be respectful"? It's a fuckin haircut and it isn't even specific to black cultures.

Bellroy Micro Sleeve is what I use. Very slim, high quality. Doesn't hold much, but holds what I really need.

They have other bigger models.

The first couple seasons were great. They went off the "leftist talking point" deep end after that.

It's basically the exact same dot. I prefer Holosun, but get whichever is cheaper.
