Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles First Black Rifle?

After reading a couple of threads on this site and posts here
I decided to by an AR. First one - though I fired them several times while in the USAF.

I wanted to go in modest, then see where it takes me on further additions.

I bought the Black Forge optics-ready rifle from CDNN. I'm too old and half-blind for iron sights so I plan to start with a SPARC II Red Dot or a modest scope. Impressed thus far as its nicely fitted and finished. We'll see how she shoots.

The real reason for my post here is to get a recommendation or two on a good entry-level guide to ARs that includes detailed and clearly illustrated cleaning and take-down along with operation tips. Don't need a gunsmithing level publication. Appreciate any input.
