Im still able to modify this with whatever I want right?
The one you linked is a standard A2 carbine. Yes, it can be modified to suit your tastes later. If you intend to add optics later though I would look at getting a rifle with the A3 flattop upper. Not that I dislike the A2, its fine for casual target shooting and plinking using the standard military peep sights. But sighting options are limited and mounting a scope is kinda a bitch on the A2. But the A3 provides far more sighting options if you want to experiment later with different styles of sights and scopes. You can also buy a carry handle for the A3 if thats your thing. Personally if I was just going to buy one I would go with the A3 upper. Go to DPMS website and check out the different combinations available in their AR15 lineup.
