4 Ways Aftermarket Parts Can Completely Change Your Rifle

By

Replacing just one or two parts on your rifle can make a considerable difference. A Block 2 M4 with an upgraded stock will sit against your shoulder differently, while a cold hammer forged barrel can improve your rifle’s durability and accuracy. You might be looking to reduce your rifle's weight, upgrade its functionality, enhance its accuracy, or something else. Here are a few ways switching parts can transform your rifle.

The Barrel

From the length of the barrel to the production method, a new barrel can make a significant difference. Longer barrels mean greater effective range and improved accuracy. Swapping a 14.5-inch barrel for an 18-inch barrel will drastically affect how far out you can accurately hit a target. Meanwhile, an MK12 rifle with a cold hammer forged barrel is more durable and more accurate than a typical rifle barrel. This is an extensive upgrade and requires some gunsmithing skill, but it can be worthwhile.

The Handguard

Different handguards have pros and cons. A quad Picatinny rail is easy to use and offers plenty of space, plus it’s fairly heavy, helping with muzzle rise. However, some shooters find it can be a little hard to hold without a grip, and it’s heavy. On the other hand, an M-LOK handguard still provides ample accessory space, though you may need adapters for some attachments. The good news is you have a variety of upper receiver options for an AR15 build, so you can find the perfect handguard to suit your needs, whether you value comfort, weight, or adaptability.

The Muzzle Device

A suppressor makes a rifle a bit quieter, and its added length can help with accuracy slightly. Muzzle brakes, compensators, and flash hiders all affect how gas is vented. Depending on the device, it can help reduce recoil or mitigate muzzle rise, making it easier to shoot in different ways. 

The Stock

Even replacing the stock can change how it sits in your shoulder pocket, resulting in a more secure or comfortable experience. Different stocks also provide different cheek welds, which are important for consistent aiming. Adjustable stocks can help you get the right fit, while static stocks force you into one position. If you’ve struggled to get a secure, comfortable fit with your rifle, consider upgrading the stock.

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...
