They're OK, I just don't like rails. As for the sights, I love the standard carry handle sight. My AR came with really crappy flip ups.

Remember that it isn't "Operator-worthy" until it has a foregrip and a C mag.

I don't have a foregrip, but I have a Beta Mag

I finally took the Panther out for a spin yesterday evening; my friend and I put about 200 rounds through the gun. It shoots quite well. One of the things that surprised me is how easy it is to shoot consistent groups with ARs. The last time I shot my uncle's Colt AR-15 A2 (years ago now), I remember thinking it was decently consistent, but now that I'm grown up, it feels lots easier with my Panther. I actually managed to get 2" groups pretty quickly. Although my eye sight has deteriorated a bit, too (my contact lens prescription has increased in the last 5 years), so I remember squinting a little more to focus before shooting.

I still don't have new magazines yet, but maybe I was a little hard on the factory mags. I guess I was just hard on them because they look/feel too much like the mags on my airsoft M16A2. I didn't have any problems with them, though the green followers sure do get dirty pretty easily (and look it). I've never seen the followers on my synthetic AK mags get that dirty.

BTW, the ammo we bought was Brown Bear. Can anyone tell me if it's any good? My Dad and I buy Wolf for the AK and were going to do the same for the AR, but Brown Bear was what they had at the range.

I shoot Wolf out of mine and it works O.K. By the way, I found a flaw in my STAG- you have to slam the mags in for them to stay put

Wolf is at lower power levels than most brands, but, if your gun cycles it, go for it. I believe brown bear and wolf are related, just made at different plants by the same company. If one works, the other should too. Ive run wolf and brown bear 762x29 through an sks no problems.

Just don't try to shoot Wolf brand .223 out of one of those cheapo single shot youth rifles- the firing pin hits the primer, but not hard enough to fire the round

Huh, interesting, I had no clue...this is what I get for not doing my research.

Anyway, Wolf 7.62x39mm works just fine in my AK. I just didn't know how their .223 holds up in comparison. But I guess I do now.

But you can buy the carry handle and stick it on.

Well, guess I'll never be an operator then. I don't need/want a C-mag. A vertical grip might be good, though...
