5 Signs of a High-Quality Modern Rifle

By


Are you in the market for a new firearm? Maybe it’s time for an upgrade, or you want to try a new type of rifle. If you want a high-quality gun, there are some signs that you are on the right track. From the flared magwell of an M4 carbine to the two-stage trigger on a special-purpose rifle, here are a few things that speak to a high-quality rifle.

A Durable, Accurate Barrel

No matter the style of rifle, a durable, accurate barrel is essential. Look for barrels that have been made through the cold hammer forging process. It’s more complicated than making a typical barrel and requires a special manufacturing process, but the results speak for themselves. Your rifle needs to maintain its accuracy after thousands of rounds, so it’s worth paying extra for this feature in a new M4A1 or other rifle.

 A Responsive Trigger

A good trigger can be the difference between an enjoyable range experience and a rifle that goes back into the gun safe to be upgraded later. Premium triggers often have what is referred to as a “glass break” when they fire. It’s snappy, responsive, and predictable. A mushy trigger, on the other hand, has wiggle room and isn’t nearly as responsive. But it’s not just when you fire the gun, but also when the trigger resets. It needs to be a clear, tactile signal that you can squeeze the trigger again. Two-stage triggers give these clean, crisp breaks and resets, though there are also very good single-stage triggers.

A Flared Magwell

Flared magwells feature a taper at the end, making it easier to funnel a mag in. You can reload without having to look at the magazine and make sure it’s going in. This is especially useful if you’re a competitive shooter, as it can shave time off of a run. Instead of fumbling for a mag and trying to insert it, you can confidently slam a mag home. While you can install flared magwell accessories, it’s a good sign if it’s included in the stock design.

Ambi Controls

A good rifle will have ambidextrous controls. Whether it’s the safety or mag release, ambi controls show a level of design sophistication. For example, you might find a PCC 9MM with an ambi selector, charging handle, bolt catch, and mag release, so anyone can shoot and operate the gun comfortably.

Modularity

Finally, a high-quality rifle will have a modular design, so you can further fine-tune it to fit your needs. It should give you room for accessories, whether it’s a sight or optic, hand grip, light, bipod, or sling attachment point. This gives you a wide range of versatility by swapping out accessories. More options are always better, as you can adjust your rifle to your needs easily.

Plus, it never hurts to have a refresher course! These tips apply to all firearms, from striker fired 1911 style handguns to MK12 rifles and others.

Buying a Chest Rig? Look for These 5 Things

You’ve bought your Block 2 M4 , ammo, and spare mags, but how will you keep everything you need close by at the range? For many shooters, a chest rig is the answer. A chest rig can hold spare mags, tools, and other items, providing plenty of extra utility. As you shop around, here are a few things to consider. A Chest Placard That Fits The chest placard is one of the most important parts of any chest rig. It’s the panel of fabric that everything else attaches to. It’s usually made with MOLLE webbing or sewn-on pouches. When comparing options, choose a placard with enough space for your 9mm PCC mags and other pouches without weighing it down too much. It should sit around your sternum, allowing you to move around freely. Different Harness Types There are three major types of chest rigs: the H, X, and Y harness. The right one for you depends on your specific needs and comfort preferences. The H-harness forms an “H” shape with a connector between the shoulder straps. You need to...
