I love my Acog and my Leopold 1.5 X 4.

I also love my suppressors.

Oh and Fuck the haters...

I love my sig brace, slide fire stock, magpul afg, and my eotech.

All of which arfcom has told me are stupid products that suck.

I also love my cheapo utg pro rails. Some of which are almost a decade old and going strong.

It really smooths out my otherwise jarring 11.5" upper.

hk diopter buis - so quick ,and by far the easiest to use.
surefire 556mbk - loud as fuck, but damn efficient
trijicon srs02 - used a lot of red dots - and although this is a beast of sight, the dot is crisp and bright.

Rainer Raptor
Geissele triggers
LaRue padded sling, yeah silly but when you are old and hours upon hours later it is nice, back when I was 17-21 that GI one was fine
Saker 5.56
MOE+

Posted: 1/27/2015 12:49:35 PM EDT

[#19]

BCM CH Mod4 or Raptor, gotta be one or the other
any Magpul grip with a + in it's name
based on the number I own, I appear to be very fond of the CTR and B5 Bravo stocks
Geisseles, CMC's gotta be one or the other.
Aimpoint Comp M4s, the Comp M4 just makes no sense to me
Eotech 55.... series
and lately, the BCM QD end plate
I should also mention every single one has a BCM buffer tube.
Only exception is the Sig716, it's very mod-unfriendly

BCM mod 3 grip

As a lefty this stuff allows me to do pretty much anything with and AR without looking like I am wrestling a greased weasel while shooting.

BAD lever
Badger latch
Odin Works mag button- these recently replaced the Arrendondo ones that were nice but not quite big enough to be reached with hand on the pistol grip, now my thumb can hit it in a pinch
Ambi safety (not sure why ambi safeties aren't standard, its so easy to use my thumb to lever it off, then finger comes off the trigger and flips it back on)

these three allow me to do everything I need without taking my left hand off the pistol grip

I also have some Stag lefty uppers that are nice, but the normal ones work very well with this set up too.

A dedicated weapon light and an quality RDS optic.

I've tried plenty on my rifles for several different applications. A few have made it to all of them. The first being two stage triggers. I have a few rifles with RRA but all purchases of late have been Geissele Triggers. PWS FSC556's are on the end of most of them and the latest break thru is the Samson 3.5x Magnifier with the flip RAM. The glass is clear, the mount is strong and it was easily adjusted to center all of the reddots that I have right in the center of the glass. The RAM however has me really going. They just released a new DMR scope line at SHOT that uses the quick release RAM. I see several purchases getting ready to be made.

Cliff notes:
Geissele Triggers
PWS FSC556
Samson RAM quick release rail mounts

BCM Gunfighter charging handle
BCM KMR rail
YHM Phantom Ti suppressor
Blue Force Tactical sling
ALG ACT trigger
Aimpoint PRO
Aimpoint magnifier
Streamlight TLR-1S

I could put all of the above on every AR I own/will build except for the optics for different roles. My CTR stock catches my beard frequently. Other than that I like it but I kinda wish I had tried one of the sopmod or similar stocks instead. I can't decide on a grip. I have a Geissele G2S trigger and an RRA 2stage trigger and I like the cheaper ALG better. The G2S is a recent acquisition though and I do need more trigger time with it to decide for sure.

Free-floated handguards.

A foam earplug behind the gap in the trigger guard to keep my finger from getting scraped up or wearing holes in my gloves.

Dummy rounds.

I did my 2nd ever carbine class last week and was really pleased with my basic setup:
- several year old spikes mid length upper with heavy buffer
- noveske qd end plate
- magpul ms3 sling
- iron sights with old troy A1 type rear buis

Pretty basic but it worked really well. I do think a red dot or acog will be added soon and I just got 650 lumen tlr-1 with the tape switch that I forward to trying in a low light class.

If I had to pick one accessory that stands out, and I'm excluding scopes here because I don't consider them an accessory, then it would have to be the Gripod. I hate taking sandbags to the range to sight in my guns, and I hate heavy bipods. The Gripod is an innovative solution that just works. It also works good to tape a pressure switch for my light on to.

Posted: 1/28/2015 2:47:20 AM EDT

[#39]

TangoDown stubby vertical grip now that they have throw levers on them not those pressure lock things that were the devil.

Troy buis

Geissele SSA and SSA-E triggers

X300U

Not sure if you are including slings but I put BlueForce padded slings on everything, love em.

Havent met a Bobro mount that doesn't kick ass and ooze awesome.

Like the Magpul hand guard and the MIAD

Magpul BUS too.

Trigger guard too

VTAC sling.

Gunfighter CH, then discovered the Strike Industries CH which is very similar at less than half the price. Time will tell if it holds up, but so far so good

Magpul AFG, had the 2nd gens and now use the much lower-profile MLOK versions. They're just about perfect.

Midwest lightweight MLOK handguards... super light, very nicely built.

Haley Strategic Thorntail offset light mount + HSP WML. Mechanical switch on the WML without the battery issues of the standard WMLs.

Magpul MOE K2+ grips... went from Gunfighter grips to these. MUCH more comfortable and less wrist fatigue. I run my stock all the way in so these are perfect with the more vertical grip angle.

Magpul ladder rail covers (Ergo as well). Super low profile, but unneeded on most of my ARs now.

VTAC slings... my favorite 2-point. Magpul MS2-3-4 slings work great for some things, but 2 point works better with all my gear on and it's a little easier to adjust.

Strike Industries 60 degree ambi selector.. only $25 . I asked, and they said they're making the Ultimate selector in 60 degree soon as well, and that will be my go-to assuming it works as advertised.

ALG QMS triggers.

Geissele triggers

DBAL

BCM grips, and charging handles.

ALG ACT trigger.

Posted: 1/28/2015 3:35:29 AM EDT

[#45]

Hogue grip (the old one)
Aimpoint CompM
Magpul STR
Fab Defense TAL-4 (VFG)

Posted: 1/28/2015 3:41:32 AM EDT

[#46]

SSA, T1, M300B, CQD sling mounts, Lancer mags.

Posted: 1/28/2015 3:52:38 AM EDT

[#47]

All of these items have found their way onto all of my AR builds:
- Ambi everything, I'm a lefty, with a right eye dominance
- AXTS Raptor charging handle
- Magpul MOE+ grip and CTR stock -Enjoy the positive grip from the MOE+, and the friction lock on the CTR is great.
- VTAC padded sling -Has plenty of padding and is extremely easy to adjust.

Posted: 1/28/2015 4:27:27 AM EDT

[#48]

Geiselle Trigger
Battle Arms Development Ambi Safety
Magpul MOE+
Magpul CTR
Magpul MS3 Sling

Every AR I have has most if not all of those.

Surefire 60rd mags
PA M4 clone (Exceeded all expectations)
