Y'all,
This is my first post here, but I've been lurking for a week or so now. I will be picking up my first XCR from the fun store in a few hours.
I'm asking for any advice needed for a total newbie. I own several AR type rifles along with other semi-autos, so shooting itself isn't new - just this rifle.
Any advice at all is welcome and appreciated.
The rifle is a 16" light barrel 5.56mm. I plan on installing an ARMS #40 rear sight and a flip up front sight (I think they carry Pro Mag) as backups to an optic. I'm leaning towards an EOTech right now, though I'm open to others too. I already like the Aimpoint I have on one of my AR's, but I want to try something new.
What kind of maintainance quirks does it have that I need to know about? Is there anything I am used to doing on my AR's that will damage this rifle? Is it safe to dry fire it or will that cause problems?
I can't think of anything else to ask right now, but if I'm missing something please let me know. I'd rather learn the easy way from others than the hard way myself.
Thanks!
