3 Features You Want in a Performance AR

Image
  What separates a run-of-the-mill AR from a top-performing rifle? Whether you’re taking it to a competition or just need a rock-solid range gun, individual components can have a significant impact on the rifle’s handling, accuracy, and all-around performance. From the free-floating rail pioneered by the Block 2 M4 to a highly accurate barrel, here are a few features to look for in your next AR. Free-Floating Rail When comparing upper receiver options for an AR15 build , pick one with a free-floating rail. A Picatinny quad rail is a great option, as it provides extra weight to help reduce muzzle rise and recoil, while also offering ample space for accessories. The free-floating part is important, however, as it ensures the handguard won’t affect the barrel’s natural harmonics, resulting in improved accuracy.  Cold Hammer Forged Barrel For the best out-of-the-box accuracy, you want a specific type of barrel. An MK12 rifle with a cold hammer forged barrel will offer better...

Image
If you’re new to the AR rifle platform, you may be wondering which barrel length is right for your needs. Whether you want the classic M4 carbine or a long-barreled 308 for hunting, there are a few different barrel lengths available. Here are a few standard barrel lengths, along with their respective strengths and common applications, to help you narrow down the right option for your needs. 14.5 Inches The classic M4 carbine has a 14.5-inch barrel, which is under the minimum requirement of 16 inches to be classified as a rifle. Because of this, you will usually see a muzzle device pinned and welded to bring the full length of the barrel and device up to 16 inches. This is typically referred to as carbine length, and carbines are shorter, lighter versions of rifles. They are one of the most popular AR platforms as they are easy to shoot and maneuver, making them great all-around rifles. 16 Inches Next comes the 16-inch barrel. These are ideal for 9MM carbine rifle barrels. PC...

  Out of the box, an M4 carbine rifle can be an accurate, high-performance firearm. You can find some very impressive models on the market today. But whether you’ve just acquired a new AR15 or you’ve been shooting the same rifle for the past several years, there’s always room for performance improvements.

What can you do to improve your AR15? Here are a few ideas. Strategic Modifications There are several AR15 parts on the market that will enhance your rifle’s performance. It’s a matter of finding compatible options and determining which ones work best for your situation.
