I bought my first AR today!

I bought my first AR today!
I have to admit ... I know NOTHING about AR's, other than what I have learned through watching videos this past week. I'm not familiar with the brand but I know they're here in the U.S. and they seemed to get really good reviews.

Here's my new Del-Ton Sierra 316.
I'm not crazy about the dark earth furniture but it was the last one in stock and I figured I can always swap it out. I really like the mid-length handgaurd. I took a rode trip today to get mags.

(sorry for the crappy pic)

There's nothing wrong with dark earth. Don't change a thing. You're going to love it!

FDE furniture on one of my rifles is going to be a thing. That said though, do what suits you man. Where did you go if you don't mind sharing?

TomisinMd · Jun 20, 2016

Congrats! Someday I'll bite the bullet and get one

Very nice setup. I like the chopped A2 sight.
I like it so much I have the same on my HD AR.

FDE is cool. It's just not my thing.
I found the rifle at Atlantic Guns in Rockville.
The staff there was really helpful.

welcome to the addiction

Sweet. Congrats & welcome to the dark (AR) side.

Congrats! Del-Ton has some pretty stand up people. I would frequent the shop in Elizabethtown, NC to buy brass from them years ago.

You have been here for 10 years and you forgot about the foot rule? :sad20:

Nice rifle!

So did it take you 7 minutes ?

Congrats.

Mdeng · Jun 21, 2016

Now it's time to get some training and learn how to use it.

Congratulations. Get some instruction from a knowledgeable mentor or one of our member instructors. Shoot it a lot as is before considering any changes.
