AR-15

The AR-15 and its many versions are considered “America’s Rifle” for a reason.  (Although the true meaning of the abbreviation “AR” stands for “Armalite”, the initial company that built the platform.)  It’s not only the civilian version of the weapon our troops carry into the field.

Converting your 5.56 NATO AR to 9mm is a really simple AR hack, especially if you buy a complete 9mm upper.

I would love to be able to sit down with James Sullivan and Gene Stoner. I would ask them if they had any inkling of the chaos their remarkable little rifle might someday foment.

The AR might be the ultimate modern patrol rifle, but it’s not the first patrol rifle. Look at a few historical examples of patrol rifles before AR dominance. 

If you use a red dot or LPVO the BCM MK2 Recoil Mitigation System will enable you to see your hits through the optic.

There are a lot of reasons why you would want to swap out the hand guard or rail on your AR-15. Maybe you want to mount a tactical light, vertical grip, or hand stop and you need a rail that can accommodate those accessories.

The boogie man usually comes in the dead of night. Consider your AR naked if it isn’t equipped with a tactical light.

Many commercial AR-15 manufacturers use a mid-length gas system on their guns because it provides optimal performance.

Mil-spec charging handles get the job done, but depending on how your AR15 is set up or how you run your gun, you should consider upgrading yours.
