Lots of good info there, but don't expect the friendly style you get here. AR15.com is, well, a bit contentious sometimes.

To say AR15.com is a bit contentous, is like saying a cell block only smells a little.....just lurk there, otherwise youll get your head bit off if you actually dare to ask anything.

It is good info though, sometimes.

Thanks for the recommendations, gang. Actually, since I have no experience with rifles, I intend to do the same thing that I did when I bought my first handgun. I'm going to pay for an hour or so with an instructor, and have him show me the proper care and feeding of the gun, along with some basic shooting instruction. Before I attempt to take the gun apart, I would like to know how to put it together. And while I can be trained to do most anything, I'm not very good at learning things on my own. A few bucks spent on time with an instructor will be well worth it in the long run.

Sounds like you've got your head on straight. I can't wait to take some advanced handgun classes. Taking apart some guns can be tricky and in the case of my Ruger MKII doing incorrectly can reslut in a trip back to the factory before it is usable again
