Let’s face it one of the best parts about owning an AR15 is the ability to customize all of the parts to get the rifle exactly how you want it. There are simple things that can go a long way to make shooting your favorite rifle even better. This list will go over some products to give you enhancement ideas to make your AR15 great all over again!
Where to start? With the AR you can literally cherry pick every piece, component, part and package. We could go over everything but assuming you already own a rifle two places to start with are grips and triggers. While this will seem biased towards your fire control hand, the reality is you benefit from these upgrades every single time you head to the range. Some parts you may use on certain drills, others on certain manipulations, but a solid grip and nice trigger are appreciated all of the time and often gives the first and overall impression of your rifle.
In the future we will also talk about our favorite charging handles, furniture, muzzle devices, optics and oh my the list can go on and on.
First lets talk about this simple piece of plastic (or aluminum), it is truly something you utilize and connect with every single time you handle and shoot your rifle. If you are still using the stock original government style A2 grip, throw that thing in the trash and upgrade now. Seriously those grips are gross, throw it away. Newer grips not only have improved texture, ergonomics and strength they can also add a more modern look to your rifle as well. Here are some of our favorites:

Now that you have a sweet new grip picked out, one of my favorite AR upgrades is the trigger. The trigger can often make your shooting experience go from meh to yay with the nice, clean break of a great trigger. Many shooters will also argue that by ditching the crappy, heavy, gritty mil-spec trigger your accuracy can also improve as you aren’t fighting the trigger. Seriously, if you ever pick up a rifle with a nice trigger you won’t go back. We give you a variety of options for all budgets with some of out trigger picks.

We hope you found our grip and trigger list helpful in improving your rifle’s performance. These two parts can make a huge difference and make your rifle feel better and shoot better as you won’t be fighting a crappy trigger or grip.
