LBT sling my sister got me for my birthday
Bad lever. Badger ambi charging handle. Magpul Afg. Good stuff.
None. I run an M4 clean and hassle free. Gun, optic, mag and sling. Accessory free and nothing to fail, other than the operator.
Huskey Amentum Slider Sling… or the EOTech EXPS3-0. It is a tie.
An RDS of some form is my #1. #2 is a BCM Gunfighter charging handle. That is all that I really “require.”
Blackhawk Xiphos… have a pistol for defense is pointless if you cant see the guy who broke into your house. And the strobe does a nice job of blinding someone with night adapted vision.
And I can still use the Serpa platform holster.
JP handguard
Toss up between the RRA Star Ambi-safety and my Hogue grip. One makes life easy; the other makes life happy.
Magpul AFG -love that thing.
Every weapon MUST have a white light before anything else. It is a vital necessity these days. Everything else comes later. Need I even say SUREFIRE?
Aimpoint Micro T1 in Larue Tactical 660 mount.
M620c Surefire Scout light w/ throw lever on a off set mount…
I currently run an LWRC M6 piston rifle with Eotech and 3x Magnifier. I recently aquired a PVS-14 nigh vision unit and the most sought after production I could think to add to my rifle would be a DBAL-1 or a model very close to it.
This would allow me to use my rifle in tandem with the PVS-14 in the the most simple manner.
Magpul BAD lever. IMHO, the best accessory for the money that is out there right now.
Back up iron sites, it doesnt really matter to me the brand but they are a must. Never know when ones scope will go down and have to go to iron sites; Might as well use your firearm as a club if you cant put your rounds on target.
Aimpoint T-1
BAD ambi selector, Badger Ambi Charging handle, AFG2
Surefire Scout Light.
Surefire X300
To me it all starts at the grip. I’ve been using the Ergo Suregrip for years now. I’ve tried others but always ended up going back to the Ergo.
Surfire for me
I am just an accessory to my rifle
Surefire E1L in a S&S IFM mount.
Blue Force Gear VCAS.
Aimpoint Micro T1, as low as possible.
Magpul’s BAD Lever. Reloading and malfunction clearance are the two things that will slow down any shooter, especially when adrenaline is pumping. This speeds up both.
magnified optic – i’m blind as a frakkin’ bat.
Eotech and Magpul B.A.D. Lever and KAC ambi selector.
Tango Down Stubby QD forearm grip perfect size and weight.
Acog
Surefire X300 mounted at 12 o’clock on an AR.
Assuming you have sights and full mags, a light. My choice would be the X300. Everything else is secondary… even a sling. Anyone whos been through ranger school knows operating without a sling is doable.
If starting from a base platform rifle that functions as it should, the first thing that I add to one is a light. I can hug a weapon to retain it, wrap tape around the grip to “fit” me, choke up on the stock in close quarters, and use a simple front mag well grip, but I cannot produce illumination.
I’m pretty happy with a real simple lightweight shorty and mini scout light, I’d weigh it down with a Glare MOUT in a second if I could get my hands on one though.
A rock solid Optic
While the BAD levers and ambi selectors are nice, a good sling is the most important add on.
I love a Surefire muzzle brake with a Micro suppresor. They make the easy shooting 5.56 even easier to keep on target which makes it even more effective.
My safety…
No but seriously, my Surefire would be the last thing I take off my rifle.
my fav piece of kit is the First Light TCCC light It is not attached but its a solid light.
Magpul AFG. Much more responsive than a VFG or bare forearm.
Well this is a doozy. For me the absolute must have is a Surefire light of some sort. Scout light at a minimum but I prefer to sacrifice the weight for lots of light output.
Magpul AFG
SureFire 6PX Pro with LT606 QD Mount, and a vertical fore grip. I switch between the AFG and Larues stubby grip
Tactical Assault Gear Quick adjust 2 point sling
Surefire X300, BCM Gunfighter and BAD Lever, in that order.
Iron sights…the art of iron sights seems to be getting ignored in favor of everyone going straight to optics. It’s just the fundamentals of marksmanship. After that I’d go for my magpul CTR stock. That thing helps immensely when I’m wearing my plate carrier to keep the buttstock in place during reflexive/rapid fire exercises(tho it’s entirely due to the rubber pad which is available on any number of aftermarket stocks).
Aimpoint T-1.
Magpul B.A.D. lever for sure. Quick reloads are a matter of life and death….
Centurion arms rail system
Sling (I use an MS2, but use your preference) is my most important. I can shoot with irons, I can reload quickly without the BAD lever, and can use standard grips and stocks. However, without a sling, you can’t transition to a sidearm, you can’t go hands on without leaving your carbine, etc.
