4 Ways to Make Your AR 15 Unique to You and Your Shooting Style

By

The AR 15 is a legendary rifle loved by gun owners everywhere. Renowned for its durability and ease of use, gun owners love this gun because it is highly customizable as well. You can build one from parts, or you can trick out a pre-assembled DPMS AR 15. The options are seemingly endless, but a few select upgrades can really take your firearm to the next level, enabling a more personalized shooting experience. Here are the top four mods and upgrades to try with your AR 15.

AR 15

Install a Muzzle Brake

A muzzle brake can help you minimize recoil and improve your overall accuracy. Located at the end of the barrel, the muzzle brake will help reduce vertical movement, which is crucial to becoming a sharpshooter out at the range. This upgrade is also one of the easiest and most cost-effective. If there was one upgrade that could impact the overall shooting experience, installing a muzzle brake would be it.

 Try a Smoother Trigger

If your AR 15 is for critical use, you might want to leave the trigger alone to maintain its reliability. But if your rifle is more for plinking or competition use, a new trigger assembly will impact the shooting experience. Most shooters enjoy swapping their stock trigger for one with a lower pull weight. This means it takes less effort and force to squeeze the trigger, and it is one of those upgrades you will be glad you made. Triggers are fairly personal, so make sure to check out a few options and try them in person if possible.

 Get More Out of Your Handguard

The primary purpose of the handguard is to protect your hands from the hot barrel. Beyond that, an upgraded handguard can open up new possibilities. The two primary handguard types are drop-in handguards and free-floating handguards. Drop-in options are a little more straightforward and can allow you to install additional accessories via the rail system. Free-floating handguards, on the other hand, do not actually touch the barrel, which can help you maintain accuracy through the recoil. If you want something that will change the look and feel of your firearm, upgrading the handguard is a good idea.

 Upgrade Your Charging Handle

Finally, you might not think you need this upgrade, but once you do it, you will wonder why you waited so long. Upgrading your charging handle to one from Rainier Arms, for example, can help you shoot with confidence. An upgraded charging handle will be more durable, meaning you can rack a round in the chamber with confidence without worrying about unnecessary flexing causing any hang-ups. While every AR 15 might not need this, it is also an upgrade worth considering.

When you are headed to the range, there are some pieces of tactical gear you will want to bring with you. They will all help with convenience, allowing you to carry more or keep your firearms close at hand.

It’s the rare fan of firearms who doesn’t appreciate having at least one conversation piece in their collection. That can be a family heirloom, a homemade build, or a favorite shooter. However, a home-run option for a gun people will talk about is gifting your favorite gun enthusiast a high-quality but distinctive firearm. That could be an antique or vintage model, like a Dreyse M1907, or something new and unique, like the Kel Tec KSG . Give them something to talk about with one of the following distinctive gun gifts. 50 Beowulf Dreyse M1907 The Dreyse is a unique and certainly distinctive looking early automatic. Superficially, it looks quite a bit like the first ever mass-produced automatic, the FN 1900, and shares its chambering—32 ACP. However, the Dreyse features several distinct internal differences. Because this antique firearm tends to be overshadowed by the famous FN 1900, you can often find them relatively inexpensively. Despite their usually modest price, they have a reput...

Whether you are going hunting with your Beretta A300 Outlander or taking a highly specialized AR 15 to an out-of-state competition, flying with a firearm might seem complex if you have never done it before. However, there are ways you can streamline the process to make it as simple as possible. This means you will not have to arrive at the airport too much earlier than you would for a typical flight. Here are five tips you should know about packing and declaring your firearm for your next flight. Use the Right Kind of Lock First, you will need the right kind of lock. Do not use any standard, TSA-approved lock to keep your firearms safe. Instead, use a heavy-duty lock on your case. Always keep a key on your person, but do not bring extra copies in your checked luggage. Otherwise, if you use a TSA-approved lock or have copies of the key, it is entirely possible that your gun case could be empty when you grab it off the carousel at your destination. What to Do with Ammo Most often, a...
