Bought first AR today
After running hot and cold about getting an AR, I went ahead today and got one. Bought a M&P 15 with iron sights. I think I'll probably put a red dot on it but that's about all. Its just for fun plinking.
Anyone else have one? Like it or hate it?NRA Benefactor

You did fine. Now buy some ammo and shoot the heck out of it!
There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Re: Bought first AR today
Yes the Saiga was .223. The barrel on the M&P is stamped 5.56 nato and the book says I can use .223 in it. It does say if the barrel is stamped .223 not to use 5.56.
The Saiga was a good shooter but just wasn't for me. The ergonomics just weren't right. It had a sporter stock and I didn't feel like messing around with converting it.NRA Benefactor

The S&W rifles are great. A red dot and you'll be completely set*!
*Until you want another. And then do a build. And then a bulk order of pmags. And then a different caliber upper......

If the barrel is not free floating, have that done or do it yourself.
Giselle triggers are nice.
