This came home tonight (My first AR)

[squidvt]

This brand new Core-15 M4 Scout came home with me today. I got it at Rural King for just under $700 before their in store rebate. I stopped and got a new Hand Guard, A MOE rear sight and some ammo. I cant wait to take it to the range. It feels really good to me.

Sounds like a good buy, Haven't heard much about the core's but it looks really nice and got to love the price.
Have fun at the RANGE!

Thank you that is what I heard. The Ammo is actually cheaper then my XDs or my 1911! I cant wait to get it to the range and break it in!

Well done. Whenever I watch the news, I wonder why people don't own an AR. Now, a sling, mags and ammo!

Barrel break in is a myth unless you're using abrasive compounds. Be weary of who ever tells you otherwise.

It doesn't need broken in, just shoot it.

I would recommend getting some decent oil of your choice. Be it CLP, slip2000, or even motor oil, and liberally coat the bolt carrier.

Do not do this op.

Interesting. I run my BCG almost dry. A very little bit of Tetra Gun Grease on the contact points. Most of what I've read say run it dry.

What about Frog Lube. I've heard good things about that.

Enjoy

Tetra works really well, and will stand up to intense prolonged heat and dusty conditions.

Welcome to the AR family.... They are truely a blast to shoot ... I love all of mine and my grandkids will too one of these days...

Ive never had a problem with Frog Lube, but others have in real cold conditions, it supposedly gums up pretty severe. The only other complaints I have heard of is the rather time consuming first application! It has worked well for me for quite some time, but I haven't taken a carbine course in sub zero temps yet.

The only time I had any issues with frog lube slowing down the action on pistols was if I over applied the product.

sweet I am missing my ar lately may have to dip into the wedding fund to pick one up lol.

That wedding fund may very well become the bachelor fund if you take that route.Just a friendly heads up.

I use slip2000, its awesome, but you dont need a ton of it on the bcg, mainly contact points, youtube has great videos showing applications.

Now the fun begins for you....and you wallet will feel it in the future i'm sure!! a good red dot, 4x scope maybe, or maybe an acog with red dot on top??!?!! quad rail, sling, angled foregrip maybe? magpul everything? oh its fun, and the fun never has to end! congrats and enjoy!

Thanks. I've decided to take off the Magpul, and got with a Standard Quad-Rail. I'm going with an Aimpoint CompM4. An Angled forgrip, a weapon mounted light with a pressure switch. Perhaps a laser/light combo.
I need a good sling.. any recommendations?
I also need to get several more mags, god they are easy to load compared to my pistol mags!
