My S&W M&P 15 AR-15, What Accessory Next?

[jkratzer1982]

Pictured below is my AR-15. I have a quad rail, red/green dot sight, bi-pod and 200 lumen flashlight. What should I do next to it?

I dunno, how do you use it mostly?

I don't see any backup irons.

That stock grip is awful, replace that with at least an Ergo or MOE.

Got a sling? Mags? Ammo?

TACTICOOL

take off the bi-pod get a foreward grip with the bi pod built in. replace the grip. get a single point sling adapter and sling,. get back up irons. does it have a front sight? if not get one. stock up on mags and ammo. save up and get a eotech, acog, or aimpoint.

Buy anything that says Tactical in front of it!

I'd get a better quality grip,back up iron sights and the magpul enhanced trigger guard.And i'd also put a different stock on it.

Before you do anything else... you need a sling! It isn't cool or sexy but it is one of the first thing every carbine should get.

I cannot believe this has not been suggested yet! TAKE IT TO THE RANGE AND SHOOT IT! That is what you should do to it, USE IT! I'm only yelling in caps because I have cought myself pondering and planning just to realize that in that time I would have had time to go to the range. Don't let this happen to you.

Not to be rude, but I'd sell off the cheap stuff you hung on it and buy a good set of iron sights for it.

Take her on a date to the range. You may know how to shoot from prior training, if not learn how to use her. I know that was my problem when I got mine, knowing how to use it profiecently. A sling and iron sights should come soon, batteries die and a sling will help with SHF.

Ditto..

Not too sound condescending, but what parts are "cheap"?

All of them.

 

[Greenway84]

Again, Im not trying to be rude....But what makes them cheap? The brand, style, or just that they arent needed. Im looking to deck out this same gun, and I dont want to be considered "cheap"

Define deck out?

If you want a fighting carbine weight is an important factor.
Less is more.
Get a set of good flip up sights.
If you want tacticool add a cup holder, range finder, infrared, night vision, high end collapsible stock.....etc.
For all the money you will spend you could have more guns.

Define deck out?

BE hits on a very important thing here: define your rifle's purpose first, then add what will help.

If its a fighting rifle, cheap parts won't last, and are a poor investment in the long run (especially when your very life could depend upon them).

 

[Greenway84]

This gun is obviously a just for **** and giggles fun gun. I wouldnt trust a .22 in ar15 clothing to protect my life. For the gun in question, this is the perfect pallet for "decking it out". IMO. If we were talking an actual AR15, that you would indeed use to protect yourself with. Then a nice sling, iron sights, and extra mags would be plenty of extras for a gun like that.

I just realized that you aren't the OP, which had me a bit confused.

The gun in the OP appears to be a S&W M&P-15, which is an AR chambered in 5.56, not .22.

Are you talking about your gun? Or the OP's gun?

 

[Greenway84]

My apologies, my mistake I misread thinking it was a .22 version. I retract all prior statements...lol

With that said, I am looking for a good deal on a S&W M&P 15-22.
