Re: First AR-15, Upgrades?

I don't think he was asking about magazines. I personally don't consider a magazine as an upgrade to the RIFLE itself.
I consider it an accessory much like an optic or a light.
I think he was asking about ways to make the rifle better, not add ons.

Re: First AR-15, Upgrades?

The first thing I would do to that new-to-you rifle would be to upgrade the trigger.
Geissele makes a heck of a product.
I would also look at Timney and AGL Defence.
The new ALG brand of triggers is a high quality mil-spec trigger that has been tuned by the people at Geissele.
Its still basically a mil-spec trigger but MUCH nicer.

I like that handguard so I would keep it.
I would also look at replacing the muzzle device with a BattleComp device. There are a couple options available depending on your needs but these things are amazing to say the least. Just look em up on YouTube and you'll see what I mean.

Stock: Good
Grip: Good

Whats going on with the trigger guard?

As mentioned before....AMMO!
Try several types and see what your rifle likes best. What twist is the barrel?

If you go with a red dot I personally don't see spending 400.00 on one if you're not going to be a professional operator when there are cheaper, quality options available.
Check out Vortex and Primary Arms.
