Here is a pic of the model I own



Also thinking about changing the handguard.

I have a set of these on one rifle and like them.
Daniel Defense Detachable Front A1.5 Rear Fixed Sight Set AR-15

I have these on the rest of my rifles as backups. I prefer the steel Pro models by a longshot vs their standard plastic versions. The plastics are decent but I like the steel because when you fold them down the profile is much slimmer.
Magpul MBUS Pro Front & Rear Sight Set - $139.95


Honestly I would stick a cheap red dot on it and call it a day. These Holosuns are really nice for the price. I have several of them.

If you follow this dude's instructions you deserve whatever happens to you.

To make it an Ak automatic; just get a bumpski stock

Will I have to go to the range for them to adjust it? I got the AR as a gift and haven't fired it yet.

Yeah, you'll have to sight it in. Find an ammo that your rifle likes and stick with it. Every gun shoots a little different with all ammos. Even the same make and model of rifle will shoot different ammos differently. You want to find an ammo that will shoot accurately and feeds reliably. Cheap ammo won't be very accurate because the manufacturing standards aren't as strict and you'll get a lot of variances as far as how much gunpowder is used from round to round.

Spend the extra money and get that red dot i linked. It's cheaper on amazon but the links weren't working for whatever reason. Make sure you get the HS403G model.

Is there a certain "grain" I should be looking at?

What twist is your barrel? I shot 55gr out of my 1/7 barrel all the time. It's fine, just not as accurate as can be. Good ammo can make a huge difference. With the good stuff, I can shoot a group of 5 where each bullet holes is at least touching the other. With cheap, plinking ammo the group will be about the size of a fist sometimes.

@stirfry220 1:9 twist

 

[Stir Fry]

I would stick with 55-62gr then. Check out my post above yours

Finally got to break in the new lightweight .22 AR I posted awhile back. Decided to go with a 4x scope for it. It's a pretty sweet little setup that can be built for ~$1,000.

I want an XD or Glock, AR I might check out later.
