Ammo, USGI loop sling, practice.

Don't be one of those people that have 15 lbs of cheap chinese crap on theirs.

Most important accessory, about a 1,000 rounds of ammo stored behind the sheetrock at varying locating throughout your home.

I all I have on mine are scopes and slings.

If you don't have a grenade launcher you might as well take a **** on the 2nd Amendment

I hope this is a second ar15 and you already have ammo. If not, good luck. You can get it, but it is as high as a giraffe’s *** right now.

After buying ammo, you might not have any money left for accessories.

First get a good optic and mount (aimpoint and Trijicon). Second get a good sling (I like blue force gear but there are many others).

Get a new charging handle, if you have a mil spec handle. The only gripe I've ever had about the gun is that awkward charging handle. The first thing I did was trade it out for an ambidextrous Magpul charger.

The first two things I added to mine were a red dot sight (Vortex Spitfire II) and replaced the muzzle flash suppressor with a muzzle brake to reduce rise. (Strike Industries King Comp). There are so many options and I can't say what the "best" ones are. These both were rated well. They work very well and do what they are intended to do. Do you own research.

I also added the ability to add a light to the barrel. It is a quick on and off deal.

I also did get 6 extra 30 round mags.

I already had a pretty good stock of ammo and have not bought any in awhile. I was just looking at gun.deals and wikiarms at the lowest price for 5.56 nato and 9 mm are about $.67 a bullet. Both those Calibers you could regularly get deal at $.10 to $.12 per. WOW

I have a single stage reloading setup for sale. RCBS Rock Chucker. With all you need as far as accessories goes. $100 to get it out of my house. $20 more if you want the cabinet I have it bolted to already. $10 for each set of dies. I will throw in any brass or bullets I have for that caliber for free.

Depends on whether you are setting it up for hunting or crowd control. Mine is currently setup for crowd control. Trijicon ACOG with a RMR Reflex, 2 point sling, quality ammo, surpressor (just because it’s cool), high capacity mags, and my #1 crowd control option is a Franklin Arms binary trigger. Get ‘em while they are still legal!

Check out Strike Industries. I really like their products. I use them for my AR bling.

Better stock. Better charging handle. Better trigger. Good sight. Get a lighter rail or handguard if your front end is heavy. Quad rails are too heavy and silly. You don't really need accessories. You need to make what typically comes on an AR better fit you, add a sling, and add an optic.

The sky is the limit on ARs. Depends on your needs. If it's a plinker then the accessories are not as important. If you're betting your life or those you love on it, do not look for the cheap way out.
For furniture, I'd stick with magpul first, then BCM and tango down. For a sling it would be a Vickers Blue Force Gear or a viking tactics. Optic would be Aimpoint or a good scope. I run a Geissele Airborne charging handle on one and a BCM gunfighter mod 4 on another. Both are top notch. I also run a Geissele SSA trigger.
Magazines are important too. I'm partial to NHMTG/ Okay Industries. New Magpuls are good after those.
Be sure your gas key on the carrier is properly staked and is a full auto carrier.

Have you missed around with the 40 round Magpul mags? I'm wanting to pull the trigger on one, ain't no such as "enough rounds." Looks like they are out of stock most places.

I haven't. All my current magazines are metal. 95% NHMTG. I've used the p-mags in the past but just prefer the metal with magpul followers. These were manufactured for Colt. They now only use the Okay Industries name.
