How do I connect these? (noob question)

I am currently new to blender and I’m working on a gun but I can’t figure out how to connect these two things?


There’s more than one means with which to do this

add loopcuts (ctrl + r)
and w - merge
for stuff like this is ok

  1. starting point
  2. furthest loop cut added
  3. rest of the loops added in between
  4. joining edges selected from both, w -> bridge edge loops, merge enabled and merge factor changed from the operator properties
