I read more than I post, this way I learn. The old adage comes to mind :They only thought I was a fool, until I opened my mouth, then they knew.
The purpose of this thread is to "pick two" and "only two" aftermarket additions to the basic AR that have helped you, or that you wish you have never done. This way other people may be spared by our being the beta testers.
This is "only" about the basic carbine/rifle, not about sights,slings, bi-pods, or anthing else that maybe attached.
My contributionwill be the addition of a Geissele SSA trigger and a Magpul grip. There are many other good aftermarket triggers, and upon using any top tier trigger you can focus on marksmanship without fighting a stock trigger. The Magpul grip "fits" my hand, wet or dry, the factory grip did not. Find what fits your hand like a "broken-in" favorite glove.
Now it is up to "others" that have been around the AR platform to pass on what they have learned.
