I have a few questions about the AR-15. I just bought one and I don’t know squat about them.
First, I read somewhere that there is a certain way to break in the barrel to give optimum accuracy. Mine has the chrome lined barrel. Does anyone know about this?
Second, what are some good spare magazines to get for this rifle and where do I get them?
Third, I wanted to know if there are any spare parts I should buy and keep on hand.
I have already found one spare part that this gun goes through pretty regularly. It’s shiny, gold colored and conical shaped with a pointed end and a flat end. Every time I make the gun go BOOM, it breaks one of these. The bottom two thirds with the flat end shoots out the side onto the ground, but I never can find the pointy end. It turns out that the part that shoots out the side is actually hollow and it has 223 REM stamped on the bottom. I can already see I will need a LOT of these … this could get expensive.
If I could only find that pointy end, maybe I could repair them and use them over again ...
