Magpul Airsoft stuff is designated PTS if I remember correctly. Should be ok for rail guards etc.

I have been all through the learning curve with these bits and have red dot sights galore. Like the wise ones before do not touch airsoft optics buy the budget end of the mainsteam like the Vortex Strikefire (version 2 out soon) or wait for the new Spitfire 1x out in the summer.

UTG have some reasonably priced red dots and a pretty good 3x magnifier that works with other manufacturers ' red dot sights. They also do a range of well.priced forward grips, lights, etc.

FAB Defense is an Israeli military quality accessory manufacturer supplied by UKMCPro in Portsmouth and generally cheaper than Magpul for equivalent bits and pieces.

Getting military style optics out of the States is almost impossible but l did pick up a multi recticle/recticule by Lucid recently for less than £200 including Customs.

Find a club that does mini-rifle as you will never forgive yourself if you don't try it.

Welcome to the Black Rifle Club!

can only agree with everyone else. Went through several cheap red dot sights and had lots of problems holding zero. Bought a Vortex Strikefire and never looked back. Liked it so much I bought 2 other Vortex scopes and they are great. However, still not completely convinced you need to spend lots of money. Friend of mine has a £500 Aimpoint red dot and I have to say that it doesn't appear any better than my £130 Vortex.
