Pre built / customized ARs?

I bought my first pistol a little bit ago and am looking into my next purchase which I think will be an AR. I’m curious if anyone knows of companies/ manufacturers who sell prebuilt loadouts for these? All i see is the gun being sold stock, lien there’s no optic, accessories on them etc. me being a noob I’d rather just buy something new that comes kitted out already - is there a good place/recommendation for a website/ company that provides this?

Thanks!

Noob here - how does this guy easily release his slide with one thumb?

Gun noob here, never shot my Bodyguard 2.0, going to the range with an instructor this weekend for the first time

I was watching a video about ammo and every time this guy puts his loaded magazine into his 2.0 he’s able to easily drop the slide with his right thumb

I have been getting acquainted with my gun and I’m only able to do this with the magazine out. I don’t have any rounds in the magazine, however.

Is he able to do it because he’s run a few rounds through his gun so it’s nice and broken in or?

Advice for adjusting iron sights (noob question)

Hello - I am a new shooter and have put about 600 rounds through my Walther PDP compact 4". I am mostly low and left (see this post for more details).

Yesterday, I worked with an experienced instructor, and he shot my Walther after seeing how I was still low and left, and he shot low and left and felt confident my irons are off.

According to the Walther manual, I understand how to adjust the irons, but here is my question: how do I (an inexperienced shooter) know when the irons are adjusted accurately? My concern is that I don't want to compensate for my low and left by adjusting the irons too much (assuming this is a thing).

Thanks in advance for any replies!

How would one go about repairing a broken stock?

Smith and Wesson 1854 that I’ve only owned for a couple of months and maybe 300-400 rounds. Went to the range today and at the end of the session it won’t cycle anymore. Bolt is stuck open, hammer won’t hardly move. I get home to disassemble it and fix the problem and that little chunk of wood falls out from the stock. I’m guessing it broke at some point but I haven’t been rough with the gun at all.

Is this something that should just be fully replaced? Is it something I (or a professional) could just epoxy back in place? Would S&W warranty something like this? Is this sort of breakage common? Thanks in advance and/or sorry if this isn’t allowed.

Are there any patterns I should be watching for?

So far I’ve put ~400 rounds through my new SAR9 sport, this was about 10 yards away. It seems like my misses are generally low when I do miss but not necessarily low left like I hear is common. Does anyone see any patterns in grouping that I should be aware of?

Sabatti Rover .308

I just bought a Sabatti Rover .308 like the one in the picture. Does anyone know of a tactical chassis that’s compatible with it?
