First upgrade: PEQ 15
What brand hangaurd is that?
I can run a stock AR all day, carry handle sight and all. But, please god, give me quality magazines and a decent sling like the Vickers sling from Blue Force Gear.
Nice pics Ranger! I have to agree on all 5 and comply on all my builds, but I throw in Phase 5 bolt catches in too for 308 especially.
Great top 5 so happy to be aligned withnyou
Quality buffer spring, weapon light, sling and optics. That the only adds I’d recommend beyond Dave’s recommendations. I went to a super 42 buffer kit and I’ll never go back milspec buffers are no comparison
Isn't that there one of them Daniel Defense guns!? Those are bad, Ministry Of Truth told me so.
On a serious note, I've never understood the need for a bad lever, but I do see why you opt for them if your goal is efficiency and/or speed.
So good. Do this for AK and Mp5 now… or every gun. Best part of guns is tricking them out
BAD levers break. Go PDQ or get a lower with an Ambi release
after a necessary light-sling-optic, you can make a case for each of these…. except the BAD lever imo.
Nice. Ambi safety is a must for any defensive rifle in my house as wife is a lefty. I never minded a milspec trigger until I got my first Geissele then I was ruined.
Great video! I can agree with most of it except the BAD lever. Living in colder climates, wearing gloves is basically a must many times of the year, so that's a no go for me even with enhanced trigger guards. My sausage fingers just don't jive and I'd rather keep my "muscle memory" the same for each setup. Plus when my finger is in the trigger guard, it's just to shoot. Just a mental thing for me. All our milage varies so if it works for you, rock on! Thanks again!
Why a brake or comp instead of a flashhider?
Weapon light would outweigh a replacement trigger to me
I'm with you on alot of it, I do in order to appreciate a nice trigger a mil trigger should be used for a bit
Any recommendations for an AMBI mag release ?
Trigger, CF furniture, ambi safety. That's about it for me. Im lefty, i like the OEM CH.
