How to Upgrade Your AR’s Accuracy and Handling

By

 
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.

Performance can mean several different things. It can relate to the trigger pull, how the gun handles as it’s fired (and in the milliseconds after), or the accuracy of the shot. 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.

For example, aftermarket AR15 upper receiver groups, which include the upper receiver, barrel, gas system, and several other components, can be a major upgrade to an older or well-used AR15. For a newer rifle, you might focus on individual components, such as the trigger or stock.

Invest in New Sights or Optics

Sometimes, new sights or optics are all you need to vastly improve your rifle’s accuracy. However, before investing in new sights or optics, ensure your current set is properly zeroed in. Over time, sights can become misaligned without you even realizing it.

Getting them re-zeroed can make a significant difference in your accuracy. That said, if you’re not thrilled with the results or you simply want to try new sights or optics, it can be a worthy investment.

 Spend More Time at the Gun Range

There are only so many technical upgrades you can make; the rest is up to the user holding the gun and pulling the trigger. One of the best ways to “upgrade” the performance of any gun, AR15s included, is to use that gun.

If you want to be accurate when shooting an MK12 long range rifle, practice is essential. Keep a consistent range schedule, run a variety of drills, and it won’t be long until every shot is precise.

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...
