Newbie AR build

[72Camaro]

I like that list for a good basic rifle that will last a while. Only thing I would change would be the grip, I like a rubberized one from Hogue with beavertail, better price and a better feel. And for a red dot I would add the Holosun 503GU for a basic one with shake awake which I have and really like and if I was to upgrade I'd think about their green dot HE503CU or the military grade red dot HS515CM model. Read reviews on red dots before you buy.

I have hogue grips and more recently got a dd I really am digging. Grips and stocks are really about personal preference and most people go through a few to find what suits their needs and the rifles objective. Which is why recommending parts is difficult. The op didn’t mention the purpose of this rifle. If it’s meant for hunting, precision shooting, high speed- low drag, punching holes in paper, etc. Different features have different uses. I just recommended parts I have experience with, that are reasonably priced, good quality, and kind of generic in its use. It’ll do many things well. Just not any one thing great.
