looking for some assistance.

[proxpilot]

just got my first AR last week, hoping to get some quality info on the platform. as far as proper techniques, maintenance tips and tricks. places to buy parts and accessories. So maybe if you guys have quality You Tube channels, websites, or products/tools to help me reach Tier 1 Operator status that would like to share i would really appreciate it.

Just read as much as you can but most importantly go to the range and train.

You want a silver spoon too?

Is this really necessary?

help me reach Tier 1 Operator status

The only way to do that is to enlist, go through the prelims, get tapped to try out for one of the varsity teams, and pass Selection.
