Been looking to buy a gun for a while. Army dada recommended a m4 or ak, told me he would teach me how to use either one of them. I've only ever shot a .22 and am looking to buy a cheap gun just to get me started $800~ range
>Pic related looks like a good buy to me
>Then again I don't know much about guns
What gun/brands can you recommend to me that aren't total shit
A budget AR is fine. You can find them starting in the $400 range, but what you posted is a good choice at a good price. Spend time down at the range practicing until you're comfortable firing it and can hit a target reliably.
Ruger or the S&W, either way.

Has everything you need to get started. Upgrading in the future means you don't have to go through the process of dealing with an FFL since you now have a lower receiver to slap new parts and uppers on.
Also have this red dot and worried that the front sight is gonna be too high for me to see through it
