Okay, So I am getting my first AR-15 and I am set on a CMMG 16" barrel government profile rifle. It seems to have everything I am looking for. This rifle will mainly be used for fun, but also home defense and since I live in South Georgia I will be wandering the woods and occasionally shoot at the range. I was reading about dominant eyes and this got me wondering, do I need to learn to shoot left handed? I am definitely left eye dominant and it is even a little clearer than the right, but I am used to shooting my .22 with left eye closed. What should I do?
Next thing I am wondering about, is it necessary to free float the barrel if I intend to put a sling on this thing? I most certainly will use a sling a lot when I go trekking. How much would a reasonable quality rail cost if so? I was just gonna mount a light using the TDI bayonet Lug mount, so I don't really want to fill up the rails with accessories. Also, I am getting just a flat top, I am thinking of getting just a fixed rear (keep the original front) sight and eventually getting a red dot scope. I know this is a lot but I need advice before I spend so much on this rifle! This is a lot of money to me (1000) but I have some saved up and I want/need a good quality rifle.
