THE BAD: What AR accessory do you really dislike or is just flat out useless?

[Doc Safari]

I guess we need this companion piece to the thread on what accessory you like. Enough "dislike" posts crept into the other thread that it seems logical to open a platform for those posts.

What's the one AR accessory that just didn't work for you, or in your opinion is poorly designed, or was ill-conceived, or you just plain wish you hadn't spent money on?

Right off the top of my head, the only thing that instantly comes to mind is the Rogers stock, or the MagPul MOE stock. To me they don't add enough extra to justify the price of one of them versus a standard milspec carbine stock.

I also found the eye relief on any ACOG except the TA33 was just too short for me. We're talking nose to charging handle for any kind of sight picture. (I do like the TA33 ACOG, though. It's my favorite optic. See the other thread ).

Vertical fore grips

Anything and everything nickel boron . That covers both the "dislike" and "useless" portions of the question

BAD levers

[Sancho Panza]

Most stuff people hang off their rifles & carbines; including MagPul anything.

BAD levers are stupid. Most rail systems are pointless and unnecessary for the users.

But what I really find useless is low-quality optics.

Ambi anything and any aftermarket selector.

I completely agree. See also Melonite, Nitride etc.

I'm starting to dislike VFG (short style is better like BCM) now that I've started using a handstop, BAD Lever was ridiculous and I ran one for a while, any quality rifle with poor optics, factory triggers, green lasers, ar pistol hand-braces, spiked muzzle brakes, pinned fake cans, and anything else that may fall under Mickey Mouse clubhouse material.
