I'm new to the AR platform, and my daughter and new son-in-law bought me a Ruger AR556 for Christmas.
One of the first things I want to do is replace the front hand guard to a quad rail, gas block with low profile, and mount a green/red dot scope. I've watched the videos and nothing concerns me about the work. But none of them said where to get the low profile gas block or suggested quad rail hand guard. Also, if I remove the front site/gas block assembly, does that contain any parts needed for the new quad rail?
I am new to the platform, so do I have to get accessories specific to Ruger or are all AR's built the same and all parts are interchangeable?
Suggestions for the gas block and quad rail, and anything else I will need to get this part done, would be appreciated.
Thanks for putting up with a newbie.
