This is a DPMS panther arms oracle ar-15. I am modifying it with a quad rail I got for $35 off amazon. I made this video specifically for peeps like me that want to get a great deal but are new to.
Oh, I am so pumped. I now own an AR-15! Last Wednesday, I bought this rifle and paired it with Magpul front & rear BUIS.
Have a laugh at how the expert at LGS installed the irons on my stock DPMS.
This rifle is primarily to function as a range toy. I'd like to learn how to work on guns, and the AR-15 platform seems like a great entry point for a beginner. That said, I want to shoot this gun for a while and determine what I don't like and then change/upgrade from there. However, the hand guard has got to go.
I've researched quite a bit, and I think I know what I'm doing, but better to reach out here before actually buying.
Requirements:
Dpms Oracle Rail System
Don't want to spend $300 on a rail. This is an entry level AR. $100-$200 is my budget, but the cheaper, the better provided the product has decent quality.
I want free float, either one or two piece. Given my unknown skill with the AR-15, one or two piece should not matter at this stage. Open to quad rail, modular, etc.
I'll need a low profile gas block. I have no idea what I should be concerned with outside of low profile. Suggestions?
Since I'm doing this myself, can I get a suggestion on tools? Grab a multitool or just get tools separately as I need them?
Since the rifle is a 16' carbine, and I'm replacing the gas block, I have some freedom in length. I don't have to stick to 7'. What is a recommended length of rail? There are sizes from 7, 9, 11, 13 inches, etc. I just want to mount my front BUIS, and maybe a bipod some day. Sling shouldn't be an issue. Just about every rail/handguard has slots for such.
So, I promise I searched and poured over a lot of posts here in the last several hours. Just calling for advice in my particular situation. Thanks for reading!
