AR-15 upgrades, accuracy and aesthetically minded.?

Question

I recently purchased a Oly Arms 5.56 carbine. Shoots great, but is a plain jane.

A Navy friend donated a Harris bi-pod, vertical grip w/ bi-pod, collapsable stock with flared cheek rests, and some removeable rear iron sights.

Since there are just SOOOOO much AR accessories available, I am looking for the higher grade parts as follows;

Picatinny gas block, floating picatinny hand guard, trigger, trigger guard, grip.

I have also been checking out the stock weights that are supposed to increase accuracy, recoil buffer and springs that are supposed to do the same.

I wish to spend $500 or less.

Experienced AR builders/shooters lemme know.

Anti-schwoogs and schvatzes need not reply!

Answer 1

Check out AR15.com you will find all sorts of great ways to upgrade your rifle and be-sure to check out the gun p**n that's were everyone shows off  what they have. Also it has great links were to get things you may want to buy.

Answer 2

For 20-50 dollars, you can buy an extended flash suppressor (a 6 inch one instead of the 2 inch one it comes with) which gives it a cooler look in my opinion. If you get a Picantinny rail, make sure to put something on it, or I find it kind of dumb to switch the standard cover guard to one and then not put anything on it. You can get a pistol grip that is ergonomically designed to fit the hand which I find helps me a lot more since it relaxes my hand. If you can, see a gunsmith and have the trigger pull weight reduced.

Natches Shooters Supply.Midway.Cheaper than dirt.All have good stuff.I didn't have to bolt on a bunch of stuff with my BUSHMASTER V MATCH .( 24"fluted,chrome lined barrel) I got an adjustable butt plate from SINCLAIR INTERNATIONAL.Strapped a target scope on it and it shoots like a dream.2 years ago I purchased an OLY K16 for my daughter .Short barrel but still shoots pretty well.She got her stock at a gun show.You might consider a better trigger for yours.Chip McCormick makes a DROP IN trigger for AR's that only cost about $160 .We put one in the kids .I put a JEWELL in mine .Shoots WAY better then the stock trigger.

Answer 4

Your right there is a lot of stuff out there of the AR's. Check this out this site and you will find some very high quality equipment.

There is cheaper stuff out there but I have not been able to find any better quality or a better company to work with. I drooped my entry M4 with a flip up back sight and broke the latch. To compound the issue I tried to fix it myself and really messed it up good. They have a life time warranty on their products so I contacted them and they ask me to send it to them for repair. Got it back in a week like new at no cost.
