Title: AR-15 accessories
Post by: Dan-o on March 04, 2014, 10:34:35 PM
OK, so I'm feeling a little like an old, fat version of Rambo.

I'm still an AR newb....

I got my first AR, and have added:   Quad picatinny rail hand guard, New scope, night light, vertical grip, bi-pod, single point sling.

What am I missing as far as AR accessories?

I think I'm addicted to buying accessories.

I've been picking up a few varieties of ammo to try.

Just call me.................................................    DANBO!

Shoulder thing that goes up.  It's a must have.  It's like racking a pump shotgun.  It makes the bad guys wet themselves at the mere sight of it - well ignorant libs, anyway.

Keep your Gun simple.  If it is a defensive gun, then all you need is a gun light and maybe a vertical grip if you want.  Keep it light, and clean.  All I would run is an optic and a flashlight.  Everything else is just for show.

The best accessory I know is also about the cheapest--a Winter Trigger Guard.  Good for those cold days when you have gloves on.  Never liked those straight trigger guards.  That's why they can be hinged out of the way...  :twocents:

I make the following upgrades to all my ar's

best trigger group I can find
bad lever
ambi mag drop
ambi safety
quick release takedown pins (yhm make a good set)
oversized mag release button

I am also a big fan of the JP enterprises silent recoil buffer.

none of these are accessories I suppose, more of upgrades.  For me personally I agree with the above post that with a rifle less stuff on it is better.

about the only true accessories I add is a level bubble that mount on the rail for my longer range ar's (us optics makes a nice one), and a ver. front grip.  If you want to use a bipod then having a bipod adaptor for a lower rail is nice to have.

Technically they are called Slidefire Stocks, and a friend tested one of them and a full auto AR, and the Slidefire equipped AR was actually a tiny bit faster than the full auto.

That being said, they are a fad.  A local gun shop bought 3 of them, sold 2 real fast, and the third one hung around for more than a year before it sold.  I can burn up ammo fast enough with a semi-auto, so I never got one.  None of the 5 ARs I own have one.   :twocents:

Silencers are great fun!  If they ever knock off that $200 Tax Stamp BS I might get one.  :tup:
