I love the opening! “I came to shoot, then realized everything is different. Well good thing I brought my camera and tripod cause this deserves a video.”
The last statement was the best one. The best accessory is a well trained you...bravo 👏
Thanks for making it that far into the video! All the accessories in the world don't mean a think if you can run the gun.
#1 preferred optic
#2 sling
Everything else is personal choice. But the above two are mandatory!
I'm not going to remember everything but good thing I can come back and watch it again.
Optic, BUIS, Light & Sling is all you need.
I suggest building out 2 AR's: 1) LONG RANGE/SNIPER CONFIGURATION 2) SHORT RANGE/AUTO MODE CONFIGURATION And I'd carry a great 9mm for your SHTF GEAR!!
I go with Buttstock, grip, optic, forward grip, iron sights.. light, lazer..
Thanks for pointing out really important things that we should take into consideration! I didn't even think about them that way..so thankx!
A *quality sling* really surprised me - when configured right they act as another "form of contact" and really helps stabilize your weapon.
With the, uh, "excitement" surrounding braces and other accessories we have to be smart about how we move forward.
Nice list! All essential. And you're right - *buy once, cry once* 👌
You forgot the John Wick/Jason Bourne/James Bond “Silencer” that magically turns gunfire into that mystical ‘toes’ sound…
300blk subsonic with a _silencer_ equipped with _wipes_ and a action lock = *movie quiet*
This ☝️
Excellent video on the basics of AR! Thank you sir!
Great video, great tips. Thanks
I always go hard (AF) with stock, for the first three months, then get started on the mods, but never without having the chance to "feel" the upgrade effect. As always, great vid. bro!
Excellent video ! Great advice too ! Training and safety are always paramount . While I am not about to go fight a war {63 yrs old } home invasion tactics are a great option
Thank you for the best comment/advice on the thread. All the accessories in the world are nice, but you need to be prepared.
Aiming system, sling, light. I only count 3. KISS.
I got the Ruger AR 556 as my first ever AR a while back and I used the xtra cash to get an Eotech XPS-2 and I’m glad I got a quality optic and some duramags with magpul iron sights
Depends on the gun, could be BCG, barrel, trigger, but optics should have irons and illumination, and a alig, that all keeps me accurate and reliable. Yeah then buttstock maybe, foregrip, flashlight, bipod, charging handle. It all depends on the gun I am starting with. Definitely agree training is #1 then mags and ammo, then irons, I can get by from there and that is where it qould depend on the firearm to know what would be needed and what I am using it for. Thank you, love CMMG, most underrated AR platform out there Maybe. I love mine.
Accessory #1: Steak and egg breakfast from Bob Evans, Perkins, IHOP, Cracker Barrel etc. Must include coffee, hash browns, toast and pancakes
1. Reliable sights. Good irons. Red dot. Or LPVO. What ever suits your needs.
2. A sling.
3. A light.
4. Training.
5. More training!!
Another gem from Mike and CMMG. Love you guys!
You had me at your shirt.
I think you made a quality video here. When you mentioned training it hit me how important it is. 👍🏻
My ar10 build accessories: magpul bipod with
magpul mlok picatinny mount, amazon detachable picatinny mount. This allows me to quick detach bipod for cqb. I also have a swampfox 2-12x lpvo with detachable mount. An arisaka cantid mount with holosun red dot 507c x2. My purpose is to run a dmr style AR10 .308 with cqb capabilities. Also, get blue loctite, screws will loosen and this simple thing will help your gun frlm unraveling while in the field
Good info. Training training training. Always helps. You can have a plain Jane AR and if you have the training you will always be better.
Absolutely!
Good stuff bud. Thanks
Great video Brother! Love the explanation and the details. Just sub’d. Keep going
Thanks Mike.... Definitely well trained you....Is most important....
Like your videos..
b5 stock
charge handle
trigger
b5 pistol grip
some sort of front grip aid, either AFG or vert grip
optics kind of a gimme to me.
thats my first 5 must do upgrades
Dope clip brother thanks
Depending on how your AR comes... I would go optic 1st. Then a flashlight or flashlight/laser combo 2nd if you have a rail, if not then a rail would be 2nd then a light 3rd. A sling would be my 4th choice. Finally... it really depends but I would probably choose a new stock. Generally the triggers are good enough as well as the muzzle device (which is usually an A2 birdcage). Depending on your needs a different muzzle device could be 5th. This is of course if we were limited to just 5 options. I would put a new grip and maybe even a new trigger in as well as we aren't limited.
Great video. Thank you
Good info no bs
Love that tshirt
My ar10 build accessories: magpul bipod with

Only thing I would add is I saw a video a while back of a vet who talked about flashlights on your weapons and how in combat sometimes the light isn’t a good thing at certain moments and those pressure switches on the grip sometimes accidentally go off and give away your location so they would put tape over the lights and just pull it off as needed but then somebody patented a product which is just a simple flip on and off cap to attach to flashlights sort of how you can do with sights and scopes. I thought it was a good idea doesn’t add any extra weight and serves a good purpose for a scenario most people don’t think about.
I just bought a db-15…. These are my planned upgrades everything is in OD Green a Magpul crt stock a FAB pistol and vertical grips a timber creek enhanced (oversized) magazine release Magpul enhanced ejectior dust cover a tru glo camo scope and a cmc 3.5 drop in trigger. I’ll add an ambidextrous safety and sling when my money recharges oh and an Aero Precision Breech charging handle…did I forget anything? I chose OD Green because everyone has a black AR and not a fan of coyote or fde which is basically tan
For me...
"Ergo" grip (HK style)
C-more type sight.
Flip up iron sights. (backups)
Sling.
I tried a vertical forward grip, but _it doesn't work for me._ I'm use to horizontal.
I think flashlights are a mistake; it tells the bad guys exactly where you are!
I don't want to weigh myself down with gadgets. Better to carry more ammo!
While I prefer a full A2 stock (because it eats more recoil), I keep an extra lower rigged with a 6 position collapsible. It's there if the situation calls for it.
JMO!!!😁
Good video, good list, thanks.
Not worried about a $400 aftermarket trigger as long as the stock trigger is decent out of the box, which I find that most are.
Most high quality triggers are not $400….
You can get something like a CNC trigger which goes for about $130 to $150 or so, and breaks at about 3.5 pounds or so.
@@jaredcaldwell4270I even bought my top of the line Rise Armament (RA-535) on sale for like 175$ And it’s one of those 300$ triggers, you can find even Geiselle triggers for as low as 150-170$. Really good upgrade honestly.
You did it imcredible fast and good
Thanks and Blessings!
1. Optic: (Acog, Vortex, Eo-Tech) *And If you have the cash ($10K) the Trijicon Electro Optics SNIPE-IR 35mm Clip-On Thermal Imaging Monocular or the Steiner eOptics Close Quarter Red Dot Thermal Sight 9510.
2. Trigger: (Franklin Armory binary trigger, TriggerTech Diamond, Hiperfire: 24c, Eclipse, & 3 gun)
3. Magpul AFG1 with the Midwest Industries Barricade Stop
4. Charging handle: Radian Raptor, CMMG & (for the money) the TRYBE Defense Ambidextrous Enhanced Mil-Spec Charging Handle is a GREAT BUY!)
5. *Cryptic Coatings Mystic Black Bolt Carrier Group. Expensive $270 (when they are in stock) but if you get one, you'll thank me.
6. Light/IR Light/Laser combo.
your fore grip was installed backwards bud. Angle goes forward for better recoil management to pull that rifle back to your shoulder.
A sling or carry strap, a quality weapon-mounted light, and a quality optic. Those are the bare-bone basics in today's world. I was in the military when optics were limited to high-speed operators and the choices were nowhere near as extensive as they are now. Everything else may be considered optional, depending on your needs. I happen to like extended mag releases to the point that I've placed them on all my AR's. A muzzle brake may well be a necessity if you are competition shooting.
Build my rifle, resolute 300 458 so COM, been on order since April
Just found your channel and subscribed
I love you guys! I love the videos. I love the firearms parts and i love the guns! Im in the process of building a 45ACP radial delayed blowback carbine and i cant wait to get it together and try it out!!! Even with all the price gouging of ammo its way cheaper to shoot pistol caliber carbines for fun and training! Although i still want my large caliber long guns too! LOL
Any suggestions on specific charging handle?
Some shooters have astigmatism so skip the red dot and go with a prism optic like the Vortex spitfire 3X.
Prism type optics are always a good option too. Optics can be as diverse as the firearms they go on.
I agree, we should be given ammo and magazines.
B.C.G the heart of the rifle …………
A bipod is useful for bench and long range shooting.
All great choices 👍. I enjoyed your video. Stay Safe and Watch your Six Brother!
All you need red dot ,irons and light (and obv lots of mags)
Agree with the CH upgrade but that one is a bit much.
You forgot the “barrel shroud, the thing that goes up over the shoulder”
🤣
Can you give us a list of the accessories showing the names, model numbers, and maybe links of good places to purchase them?
You hit all the great points, also y’all make the best stuff that I easily trust to defend my family and country!! Thank you!!
Can you you guys make banshee/rdb compatible adapters to use pistol mags in standard lowers? Having to buy a dedicated lower in order to use a rdb upper is a major inconvenience, especially for us in CA with very limited AR pistol options. More caliber options for conversion mags like you have for 9mm would also work.
Believe it or not, the magazine design for such a project is one of the trickiest parts. We are always looking at more options 😉
Great list! Mine would be….
1. Red dot/LPVO depending on your main purpose for that particular AR.
2. Bright white light
3. Good quality sling
4. Fore grip/hand stop
5. Charging handle.
This list is assuming you started out by putting a good quality bcg inside from the beginning.
My list exactly.
Hold up. What stock do you have with the strap brand? I want the whole setup for my daniel defense
😂😂😂 coming up next 😂😂😂😂😂
Were did you get that clening kit at
Bought your mod4sa live the thing found it under 500 best deal if my life rifle is exceptional and functions incredibly
Any way you could post a link to that harness/sling?
Just purchased my first AR, just curious are solar powered optics a thing??
Have you done a video on the flash hider for your defcans? I'd enjoy one of those.
I was hoping Defcans would work with Surefire warcomps, but your customer support folks said it does not. So, i've held off buying either while i try to find a decent review of your 5.56 flash hider.
Not yet!
Woooo🇺🇸🤘🏻🇺🇸
A friends dad told me once a gun without ammo is just a stick=P
Flash light> hand stop&charging handle
If you can't fully identity the target, you are wrong.
Best trigger for beginners?
You can’t tear up an ACOG cuz it’s over $1,000! Lol 👍🏼
Daddythumb schoold me ...
Light
sling
optic
Thanks mike
❣️❣️❣️
What, no PEQ-15 matched to a PS-31 on an OpsCore helmet?! 😎
Shuld i go for 556 or 308?
I’m a simple man
CMMG= makes something
Me= Wants more!!!!
When a grassroots company kicks ass it’s just simple math!!!
What’s the brand of that magnified optic ??
what is that golden muzzle device on the middle gun called?
That's the Cherry Bomb by Q
Wouldn’t a truck also be on the list………? 😎
What about someone who’s looking to fine tune and upgrade a 300 series resolute in 556? I was thinking about getting a nickel boron plated cmmg bcg and I want to change colors on my cherrakote
That's the beauty of the AR. There really is no right or wrong answer. Modify/Upgrade the parts to suit your needs. These were just a few options in the video.
good info
I like you all's lower parts kits and mil spec triggers. I use them in all my AR's. BTW you're a Big Boy, you don't need to tell the world you have enough sense to clear your firearms and all you Yo's who comment about that get out of your momma's basement, wash the Cheetos dirt off your fingers and grow up. Great little video Bub.
A sling, iron sights, lots of ammo, lots of mags, lots of quality practice. Everything else is a waste of money. The only accessory I would recommend is a quality suppressor.
Im not giving 800 for a sight.
I need a sling and optic, flashlight…. Can you send me those items
Ohhh daddy!
Why no Rip Stock?
good question! it is a great accessory. What number would you rate it?
@@CMMG It is of the utmost importance, very stylish, and immensely comfortable, so I would have to give it a number 1+++ to the 3rd power repeating.
Rather than buying a fancy charging handle, its alot cheaper to just upgrade the latch on the handle.
I’m glad he didn’t try to pass “training “ as an accessory. Training is paramount but not the topic thank you
If charging handle wasn't on your list I was going to give you thumbs down. Good job!
Nothing can or will replace your physical fitness and mindset ! A;; the other jink is just more junk !
i cant take advice from someone who doesent have backup sights
Ammunition and magazines are necessities, not accessories
Thank god you didn’t say suppressor!!! One of the most pointless add ons I can think of
I love your AR brother But I just don’t like the forward Exist 🤮👎 they just don’t look good on AR Well are y’all going to stop making forward Exist on your AR please it looks like 💩
Your list is wrong and my list is better 😜 welcome to ar15 internet junkies.
there's alway gotta be that one person... 😉🤣
