Magpul - So You Bought An AR, Now What? - Part 1: The Basics

So you bought an AR, great now buy all these accessories for no reason.

@Magpul: I own an MS3 sling, which I love very much, and I plan on buying more Magpul slings in the future-- the quality, coupled with the price, and the capability it affords me is top notch, imo. But I would seriously appreciate it, though, if they came in cammo patterns, specifically 'black cammo'

Where can i get that tiger theme SL handguard and furniture?

ALL of my AR's have MBUS rear sights. The ones with rail forearm have the MBUS front, too. Excellent. And folded down, the rounded profile keeps them from snagging on anything. I have no hesitancy about the polymer construction, they are tough. A great product!

The “SPQR” mag is is a nice touch. 👍🏼

Magpul be like... Now go buy every accessory we have or ur gun won't work

I'm sorry but a sling isn't "mandatory" in all application's, I've owned my rifle for many years and I've never needed a sling for anything I've ever put it through, don't tell people they "need something" when in all actuality "user defines what's necessary and what is not".

Shame on you . You just turned a informative piece into a political piece with your starting comments. So if your firearms upgrade parts manufacturer are you on the side of the Radical Rights movement or on the sensible side. By the way I'm a Democratically sensible firearms owner who will stand up for the Constitution the way it's supposed to be & that's for all Americans.

After I built an AR carbine some years ago, I purchased P-Mags. It was a simple choice - tough enough for the USMC, good enough for me.
Wish that Magpul made a fixed metal sight based upon your fully adjustable design. I ran the tactical C-More mount with built-in M16A2 rear sight years ago and like to co-witness full time. I also like to sight the rifle with the irons and then bench sight the red dot afterwards.
Really like and trust the products based upon past experience.

So, you bought an AR, now what?
Me: Sell it and buy an AK like a man.

So you bought you first black person, now what?

Constitution isn’t just about our rights but also our responsibility

If you don't train your kids, you'll definitely be part of the problem.

I’d like to have 10 well I guess I’m good with my 1 10 rd fixed mag in ny smh

where have you been most, probably close to 90% come optic ready no sights at all, accept for the ones that have a front gas block a pillar sight

Any new gun owners here a year after buying there first ar? I am interested ot hear what your expierences have been.

During this period of uncertainty...

Senatus Populusque Romanus

I have at least 5 magazines for EVERY firearm I have. Whether rifle. Pistol, PC carbine

maybe you guys could get some time to make a ruger mini 14 mag I mean the thing has been in production since the 60s with no great aftermarket mag and make a drum mag from the berretta 92 not like their is not a marked for those things maybe one day also I love the psr buttstock maybe with your new and awesome bipod you could make a monopod to match so I don't have to buy a accushot monopod and a swivel sling stud m-lok adapter but I am just a guy who likes your products and hates sentence structure and would like some more avenues to purchase them

Your horseshoe is upside down.

Thanks for this video series! I’m not new to guns but just bought my first ar and this information is exactly what I needed to get me in the right mindset.

I appreciate his tone. Sometimes guys have a “don’t you know this, you dumbass!?!?” kind of attitude towards newcomers

Now what? enjoy it.

When I first found Magpul it was the modular rifle. What is the best modular rifle? What is the best rifle caliber, 556 best take b/c ams ships/procures, but 4.6, 5.7, 6x35, 6.5 gren/creem, 7.62x39/51? And best title 1 pc/c?

I will honestly say that all 3 of my AR's have only seen Magpul mags! I see no reason to use anything else, they're light, cheap and last a long time. . . .

Get a light on it ASAP. Seeing what you are shooting at low light/night is paramount. Every round you fire has an attorney attached to it because you will be held accountable for it. Most bad
/unexpected things happen in the dark.

When he doesnt mention 300blk :(

I remember when this thing first kicked off... went to my usual gun store to pick up some tools. I saw a line of hipsters out the door freaking out, wondering if they were going to be able to get a gun. This gave me great pleasure. I don’t wanna hear gun control debates for a while.

SPQR 😆

Wrong the 2nd amendment was created as a standin for an absent police force in the colonies and frontier. It was also to protect landowners. Even in boston rifles could not be kept in the home. The tyranny aspect is both secondary and debunked by data and hindsight. Historical accuracy is important. Good video though!

Treat every weapon as if it was loaded, never point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot, keep your finger straight and a long the reciever. AND DONT BUY ANY FUCKING ACCESSORIES UNTIL YOU BECOME ACCURATE. SKILL WILL ALWAYS TRUMP FLASHY ACCESSORIES. MAGPUL WILL NOT MAKE YOU A BETTER SHOT

Who dislikes videos like this?

I think you guys should start making CZ pistol magazines. You're missing out on a rapidly growing untapped market.

Gun Safety is so important and must be respected

Just got my first AR, but my 3rd gun. I'll take some flip-up sights

Were not kids! Talk about the gun! Do not lecture us on basic safety..
That was stupid..
We are
American's you didn't need to sound like a Democrat telling us about safety
.
Talk only about the weapons.
Leave safety to us..

You sound like our benevolent government

So you bought an AR......now you sit to pee hahahahaha
AK the world!!!!!!

what handguard is that on the camo ar O_o is that like a new MOE handguard?

Wrong wrong wrong.. the true first step is to trade that toy for an Ak.

I got ripped off from BRO, didn't come with any optics. I got my Romeo 4 and Juliet 4 on its way but yeah Magpul flipping bus be awesome

OMG I didn't know Magpul had a channel!!! 😍😍

Nice looking little home shop you have there.

Carry handle irons sights... tactical light... sling... a shit ton of ammo and mags... thats all you need.

"Gun safety" as mine is just sitting in my room in the open 🙃

Sooooo...I must ask the most important question....are we going to get any new fde pmags ?

This was a very good video for someone new. It's a lot of fun just going to the range and shooting. Remember if you are new get someone qualified to teach you, Safety First. Once you get the Safety aspect and the fundamentals of the firearm down you will get great enjoyment going to the range and shooting (or your backyard providing you have a safe area to shoot and you don't T off your neighbors). Be safe and have fun with it.

Palm meadows armory Daniel defense Cmag, definitely the best magazines, I have a P mag 2 that won’t drop when mag release is hit when full, aluminum mags Work every time dirt cheap

trim out a Foxtrot Mike for us.... maybe a 7" 9mm. Be a lot cooler if you did...
