A DFAT and box these.
Amazon product ASIN B08VF4YRF77/8” 4-6-8 drywall anchors.
Did they start making those anchors with a thick rim again? The last box I ordered had a really thin rim compared to older "lots'. Others on Amazon have said the same. The older anchors were the best snap caps I have ever used.

Agreed on the DFAT. Invaluable for working on positional shooting and the fundamentals.

I picked up a box at Home Depot and they extract fine. Sometimes deal with FTF though. But yes the snap caps I had were pretty much toast after two dry fire sessions.

Get a grip that allows you the reach and control you prefer.
The factory Hogue is quite small in diameter.

I'm a big fan of the Luth-AR MBA3 , 3 axis butt pad upgrade. For $50, It adds a much nice nicer ( and larger) butt pad while adding LOP AND making LOP infinitely adjustable between 11 and 15" . I also replaced the buffer tube anti-rattle set screw with a 10-24x 1/2" thumb screw so LOP can be adjusted faster if/when needed. Beyond that, a grip change and a M-loc type Picatinny and/or ARCA rail for the for end ( I used both). Lastly, that tiny bolt knob needs to go!

These are not quite as good as the older production but this brand (Everbuilt, sold by Home depot and Amazon) still work decently. They still load from a mag and still protect your firing pin> They just don't last for as many hits as they used too. The other common brand, Hillman (which used to be the most robust) have completely changed design to nearly eliminate the rim and are now unusable. All that said, I wish I had laid in 3-4 box's of the old Hillmans years ago. Who ever thought I'd burn through 200-300 snap caps ????
 

Some 12 round mag extenders if going to do NRL22.
I'm having fits with the extension I bought. Does NOT want to feed.

Forget what I bought, but it ain't right

I hear there's one that does work, but I forget who again

edited to add: it's not the gear of lack of that's making you (me!) miss. It's the lack of practice building strong positions under time pressure.

Several friends use these without issue:
