hi all, i'm new here.. not new to firearms in general, but i'm not in any way specialized. recently purchased an S&W MP-15 (basic model). I havent had my hands on an AR platform since i was in the army 12 some years ago. decided to get back into AR's and hopefully convince the my chief to allow us to have them on patrol.

i'll be asking general noob questions along the way as to setting up the rifle.
first on order are more magazines and ammo. i've got some old usgi 30 rounders from when i was in, and the 1 that came with the weapon. more than likely i'll get the cproducts SS mags.

next will be a sling and adapter. Grant's answered many of my questions on another forum (glocktalk). i'm just still deciding on what i want.

next will be rails and a VFG

Light of some sort

i may eventually add some sort of optics.

most importantly, i need to get ammo. i've read about several types of surplus, radway green, guatamalan, ADCOM, etc. whats good/bag/ugly?
i've used georgia arms for years for handgun ammo, are they reliable for 5.56 also?

what grain weight is good for the 16 inch 1/9 twist barrel?

thanks. i hope to learn a lot here.
