Do you have an AR15--parts, a stripped lower, anything, and want to work with it?

Forgot to mention regarding the sporng twang sound in the buffer tube. Tubbs buffer springs are suppose to quite that down as well . I have yet to try one cause i use heavy buffers in my rifles. and the Tubbs are known to have a little more power so with heavier buffers probably would cause possible FTF . but if running a standard buffer would probably be a good item to try out and they are only $25

Is there a particular spare parts kit you'd recommend? And any particular shop? I just poked around on Midway and Brownell's website and the options were staggering and a lot were out of stock.

I also picked up a Leupold Mark AR scope and these Leupold QRW rings. I'm wondering if I should return the rings and get a mounting system like the Integrated Mounting System instead. The gun shop where I bought the rifle and scope only had 1 mounting system like the IMS and it was pretty expensive - $200. Vs. $65 for the rings. I assume that the advantage of the IMS is that I can take it off and put it on without losing the zero, right?

For spare parts, I don't really recomend a kit--but separately purchased OEM parts that you can keep on hand. I'd look for parts spec'd and /or manufactured by Colt or BCM, with the emphasis on Colt. Yes, they cost more, but there is a valid reason for it. As far as the mounting system, you should be able to remove the scope still in the rings from any rifle, remount it and still keep the zero. If you like your rings and they work for you, that's great. And, you are right--that is pricey for a one-piece mount. I'd go to Brownells--you can get them at a much better price.
