I would say some time ago I purchased a 3x20 scope to mount on my Colt carry handle. I have not used it much and find it a paperweight.

4 position CAR telestock. As soon as I handled a 6 position, the 4 has been relegated to the junkpile.

Cheap knock-off of a Colt 4x20 scope.
Redi-Mag. Returned it the next day. Cheap carry-handle scope mount. |

1. USGI cleaning kit. Used it once, figured there's got to be a better way. (At least this wasn't a total loss, I still use the T handle and chamber brush.)
2. Bore Snake. See #1. |

Quoted: By far, it is the pistol grip butt plug, followed closely by an accu-wedge. The first does not work, the second is un-needed. Bob Yep and yep. Lost the grip plug first time I took it to the range... found it in the mud a week later at the range. My Accu-Wedge is still sealed in its blister pack after a year and a half. |

Wow, lots of accu-wedge haters here. I personally find them useful. My rifles are not more accurate with them, but they do remove all play between the upper and lower. In my 2 well-used rifles, they needed it, lol. So, don't hate on the accuwedge. BTW-most useless thing I have bought for my AR's would be a cheap bayonet. I almost bought some Canadian Thermelt mags, but this website saved me.

Quoted: #$%$#@@#Badger "tactical" latch. Biggest annoyance/problem prone device I've ever put on my rifles. damn..I love those things! I will have a scope on all of my ARs at one point or another, and I find the tactical latch very handy...and on the rifles without scopes, I can just use my thumb on the charging handle. |

I have always seen the hellfire and whatever the new name it has now at the gun show. They always show the video. I figure out why they name it the hell fire. Once you got it home and tried to use it, the first thing you would say was "HELLFIRE, WHY DID I EVER BUY THAT THING". Glad I never bought one. Money would better be spent buying jerkey and kettle corn. AMOS

I would have to go along with the carry handle mounted, Chinese scope. It sits way to high to use, the optics are blurry in all but the very center. I learned for about the 10th time that cheap scopes are worthless.
The tac latch, the accuwedge, the tac sling etc are stuff I put on most of my ARs and will continue to do so. They work for me. |

I bought a crosshair front sight. The crosshairs were very fine and black. Works great until you take aim on something dark, the crosshairs disappear. Live and learn I guess.

Just wait till you wear the rifle in patrol position and have it snag on every possible item on your persons, oh not to mention when it wears through the charging handle retaining wall notch 'till you can't lock any latch in place because the badger ground off what little aluminum the retaining notch had and you enjoy the pleasure of having to buy a brand new upper. And YES IT HAS HAPPENED. |

Didn't know the crew was so heavily invested in butt plugs. Hmmmm.
On a more serious note - for those folks who are looking to store something in your grip - one of my project leads recently had to buy a Stowaway grip from Bushmaster to protect some electronics he was installing in the pistol grip.(Work related - not on my AR) I know that specific grip & contents has over 1000 test firings on it and I would have heard about it if it had opened during firing. You may want to look at it if storage in the grip is important. |

Now that others have mentioned it I also bought one of those piece of shit Chinese scopes and took it off the first time I tried to zero it. I couldn't even get it to hit the paper at 100yds!
At least it was only $39 bucks...Still could have gotten at least 2 GI mags at the time.... |

Scope mounts that attach to the top of the carry-handle. The scope ends up so high that your face free-floats above the stock. Worthless!

1) Accuwedge - trashed 2) Pistol grip butt plug - replaced with battlegrip 3) Leapers 4x20 scope - defaulted to using irons on my plain Jane Bushmaster 20" A3. 4) Titanium firing pin - Came with my Les Baer Bolt and Carrier assembly. 5) Beta-C magazine - came unopend in box, but too expensive to play with on a regular basis. I only keep it around because it looks cool. 6) Mag Cinch - replace with magpuls and practice. |

See #1. what exactly did you have a problem with here? i find these two items to be about the most practical on the market....YMMV (i guess that any sectional, non-coated cleaning rod will decrease accuracy by 1/1000000 MOA, much as shooting the gun often will...) |

M44 handguard combo with vertical grip and tactical light mount.
