Your favorite gun parts upgrades: GO!

Partially putting this out here so I dont lose them again. Several of these I have temporarily lost and took 30 mins of googling to find so I could buy again.

AR-15 Enhanced bolt catch. Love the fat paddles, especially on the bottom half.

Left hand AR-15 mag release. Love it! (though I think mine still smells like an ashtray from being on the shelf at Elmore's.)

10/22 magazine release paddle. Another standard upgrade for me. (also dremeling out the point of the heart shaped bolt catch so it isnt so cumbersome to release the mag )

Chad at USDS talked me into this one. Not a huge fan of the spring loaded pin/slide on method of attaching the levers, but its more comfortable IMHO than the Seekins version. I thought for sure I was going to launch a pin across the garage during install. And if you must tear it down, put on mechanics gloves before you put a finger over the end to catch the pin as you slide the lever off.

Triggers, triggers, triggers. Once you've had a nice one, everything you have needs another one.

Examples, sir. That's the point of this thread. What do you like and why?

 

[CampingJosh]

I seem to end up buying Hogue soft overmolded rubber grips pretty regularly. (Link)

So far I've put them on an AR, a CZ75, and a couple S&W revolvers.

This is in constant flux as products change.

Then ya might as well just lock the thread since everything is always in flux.

Edit: Sorry, thats just a cop out. To say you cant list a product you found and liked because a better one might come along next month/year is ridiculous. So post up what you like, and if you find a better one later, come back and post that one up too!

My experience is that the difference is minute with most name brand aftermarket triggers $100 and up.

I have used Apex, Overwatch, Timney, Gieselle, Hyperfire, Rifle Basix and a couple more I don't remember.

They all work mostly as described, as long as you are paying just a little more than you think you should be for them.

I don’t think SI manufactures in America.? One might want to consider USA made?

EDIT: Except they cant seem to keep up production. I dont seen anywhere that has them except Optics Planet, but knowing their history, they dont actually have them either.

Love their handguards and they're local.

Coupled with this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Manfrotto-...773044&hash=item44443432a6:g:c-oAAOSw1cJdY9qU makes a solid platform that is quick to adjust

My coworker has the Shadow Tech with a Pig Saddle that I use all the time. I wonder how they compare. I like the Slik for budget friendly tripods and that is who makes the Shadow Tech one. I wonder who makes the one for Night Goggles.

Xiletu. I think the pig saddle would be nice if you're using multiple guns. Since I only use two, the quick connect manfrotto mount is really nice. Once I have it locked in by releasing the pistol grip, there's very little movement before there's none at all.

OK that’s ridiculous. I have no favorites as to the constant changes in product lines. People can get stuck in a rut. I did at one time and found a better path. The info is at the tips of our fingers.
