I finally got myself an AR15. Picked it up today. Boy, were they busy taking phone calls. It may be tough to get a rifle by mid-month.
I picked up a gun with a 16" barrel and M-Lok furniture. I am planning to use it for target shooting and pest control. I figured it was a good entry point that would not break the bank. The shop guy showed me a Vortex Diamondback, and we installed it before I took the gun home.
I'm not an experienced AR15 guy, so I expect to run into some challenges. Here's the first one. The scope's rings are not very high, so it's not all that easy to grip the charging handle. The scope is in the way.
Did we mount the scope wrong? Are there different charging handles for people who have this problem?
Also wondering about the best options for a front sling doodad.
