Just picked up my first AR this morning shipped all the way from tampa for $2300.
Brand new in the box LE6940P
Just wanted to get an opinion on a few attachments that I will be purchasing in the near future.

-Optics
thinking about Trijicon but kinda pricy.
-Foregrip
No idea what to buy
-bipod
No idea what to buy
-laser/flashlight
Once again no idea what to buy
-magazines
already have a few 30rd Pmags on order but is there anything better?
-Extras
thinking about slings and magpul pistol grips and stocks and stuff like that.

Let me know what you guys think I should get for my new AR.

Thank you for the responses. I will go down the line on questions.
1. very familiar with the AR platform. been shooting my dads 1980's pre-ban hbar sporter II for years.
2. definitely agree with you about shooting it first. Im planning on going to the range in the near future
3. The stock that is on it is the super-stock (just google images it for pic) I dont think I need a Magpul stock
4. Already have two Pmags on order so those are already happening.
5. Yes my gun is the Piston AR

The only question I have is how does the cleaning differ from older model colts because I can disassemble and clean a conventional gas system AR blindfolded but the last thing I want to do is clean this piston system and break something. I was reading up on it and heard that the piston systems shoot relatively clean and that you just need to "wipe down the piston and tube for the piston system."
Again I have yet to take it apart and see it for myself but I will after the first time I shoot it.

The only thing I am concerned about buying is a good optic everything else is secondary in my opinion.

thanks for the responses

Truth. Everyone is out of ammo and mags. I went to 3 separate places today and nothing.
@marathon runner, no signs of corrosion in the area you described. I will try to put up some pictures in the coming days.

Very sorry to hear you received sub-par Colt merchandise I have bought tons of colt items and everything I have bought has been nothing short of perfect
