If you don't yet have an AR, I'd go with that. Buy a quality version or you risk the experience being tainted, not by poor design but by poor execution.

SIG jams? Really? Mine has never failed. Might be a problem with that particular gun. Anyway, it would not be incorrect to think of the SIG 556 as a highly refined AK: the operating system of an AK and the control placement of an AR.

The early versions, with the Ar style collapsible stocks, are probably a little more customizable that the "Classic" version. All in all, there isn't as much available for them as an AR, not by a mile. Of course, if what you want is, indeed available, then should you be worried about what isn't available?

Buy a good quality red dot. Again, bad quality will probably leave a bad taste in you mouth regarding red dots. If you can't afford the good stuff, stick with irons until you can.

Add a laser last, if at all.
