Ok, so I bought a stag AR and just picked it up. I am brand new to this, so please help me out. Here is what I would like help with:
1. Optics (Red dot)
2. Ammo (.223 for now, will grab 5.56 later)
3. Anything else I may need.
Thanks.

I bought the Sig Sauer Romeo5 from Palmetto State Armory for $150 a couple of weeks ago

I ordered a soft case yesterday. Where is the best place to buy mags and accessories?
Thanks.

The AR thread has been around almost 8 years, you’ve got some catching up to do outfitting that thing.

Not a bad idea to grab a cleaning tool (image from Palmetto State Armory)
As well as a bore snake (also at PSA)
these two items should get you a basic cleaning accomplished. Maybe a bottle of Ballistol to lube up
When you buy your optics, buy a 2 pack of batteries. Just in case you maybe "forget" to turn it off at the end of the day.

What are you confused about exactly?
Posted on 8/19/20 at 1:30 pm to Janky
Brass is referring to the case. FMJ is referring to the bullet being full metal jacket.

That is what I was saying about being new to this. I thought FMJ meant it was a steel casings. I guess it means the bullet is covered by a copper layer. Anyway, that seems kinda expensive. Is it given the times we are in? Would it be wise to buy 1000 rounds?

Everything is marked up 50-100% right now. You used to be able to get work gold for $300/case. That said, if you want to be able to use your rifle in the next year, it’s fine bulk ammunition
