AR got a new look
- Thread starter akskirmish
- Start date
man the possibilities are ENDLESS! limited only by your pockets lol. i wish i could do some more upgrades but stuff is so expensive. not sure what all youve done, but heres a few items i recommend:
- 2-stage trigger, best money you could spend. PERIOD!
- optics, Aimpoint, eotech, Acog are all super nice
- rear pistol grip, lots of nice options out there
- railed forend
- buttstock, LMT sopmod is awesome, also like Vltor and Magpul kits
- tac-latch, extension for the charging handle. comes in handy
- gas block/folding front site. lots of options, some of the best are troy, GG&G, ARMS, etc
i actually found out the front sight and or barrell on my gun was canted, so i sent it back. quickest fix was to replace the front sight post with a gas black / folding front sight. seller gave me a YHM model, i love it and works great. love the ability to fold it out of the way. here's some pics

If you want to keep a bipod on you AR get an adjustable Harris Bipod and an adapter that will mount to a picatinny rail.

Damn thats beautiful man....Yours is a free float Rail isn't it?
I have been trying to find away to remove the front Iron sights...Not sure how to go about that one though...I want a flip up front though and rear....
An Eotech will be on the way as soon as I gather funds for that one....
What 2 stage trigger do you suggest.
What is a railed forend exactly-exscuse th ignorance please.
Got a link to this tac-latch-I'm not familar with them yet.But would like to be.
Gas block is a must eventually..
I'm not going to mind spending an extra 1 to 1.5K on the upgrades....

I was just looking at the harris bipods yesterday and the adaptor-One of the few things I can find locally....
I might go back and pick it up today if I have the time too....
thx man! yeah the forend is a free float model, much better than the others. its a YHM lightweight freeloat model, dirt cheap too, about $100 compared to $400+ for the daniel defense (and this piece is what i meanted by railed forend).akskirmish;3419095;3419095 said:
as for the trigger, if i remember correctly, mine is made by RRA, rock river arms. i got it for about $120, there are much more expensive and fancier models out there but this one works great for the price.
as for installing the forend, i recommend taking this to a gun smith as the front sight is pinned in. this would be a great time to have them also install a new gas block/folding front sight. the vendor i purchased my upper from installed this free of charge, so i have no experience with taking the uppers apart.
tac latch, i got the Badger Ordinance one, nice little upgrade for about $20
