We like weapons and believe strongly that everyone should know how to break down, maintain, and shoot safely.

As part of an upcoming series we are going to give out some information on building and maintaining your weapons.

We want to keep you ready for anything at anytime in a survival situation. You never know when you will need your weapon to defend your home or just to keep the peace in rough times.

Question: What is a good set of sights that I can use for my rifle that will not break the bank?

Check out the Magpul Industries MBUS Generation II Sight Set. You can pick up both sights for under $100.

You may be able to pick up a pair at a local gun show.

One of the cool things about building an AR-15 is that you can do this in your spare time with a little extra money.

We have friends that fix them up in their garages after work and on the weekends.

The AR-15 is one of the most adaptable rifle platforms in history, and building one is easier than you think. If you look around online there are several videos with instructions on assembling an AR-15.

They cover the all the parts, variations, subassemblies, tools and complete building of the rifle so you can feel confident to tackle a project like this on your own.

Question: What is a good spray lubricant to use to protect my weapon?

We like FrogLube lubricant to help keep our weapons running well and keep away the rust.

Froglube was developed by a Navy SEAL and their products are top notch.

When thinking about building an AR-15 – the first thing is to decide what your rifle will be used for.

Plinking at targets at the range?
Competition shooting?
Hunting varmints on the back 40?

Now that you have decided you will know more of what upper receiver and barrel you will use.

Question: What about a good red dot scope?

Can you recommend one that will not break the bank but I can use to plink at the range?

Check out the Bushnell Trophy Red Dot TRS-25 Riflescope as you can pick one up for about $100. They are pretty darn durable and will not break the bank. You need to save some money for ammo.
