My father and I are just getting into the Ar scene. He's retired police and I had 7 years Army. Recently I purchased the Bushmaster "patrolman's" carbine. SInce I bought it I've added KAC nonfloating front handgaurd rails w/covers and verticle grip. Inside the stock pistolgrip I've installed the O.T.I.S. Storage for a cleaning kit. I picked up the UTG travel case. I'm looking into the Aimpoint CompM3 red dot site and a different pistol grip but I haven't descided on one yet.
I also want to add on a flashlight attachment but the one I liked is built into a verticle grip that is to big to comfortably fit into my hand. The Travel case also has a pistol holster as shown and that is my Glock 22 40S&W with it.
Any recommendations or criticisms would be appreciated.
Yeah I keep mine oiled, it just makes t easier to clean. I want to get the CompM3 sites beacuse after I hunted around and found a great deal on the KAC rails and extras ($150 all inclusive) my dad got some for free from my step sisters husband, I figure here beat this!
I was Eyeballing a verticle grip that has the Flashlight mounting built in with trigger to activate the beam and I was wondering if anybody has played with that one because it is only $80 and then you could get a $50 light instead of going for the $300+ pressure plate assembly style.
what is your guys list of top ten upgrades for under $100. They don't have to total under $100 just each one under. Thanks
S o now I'm looking at posssibly getting a new trigger and this enidine
ar-restor replacement for the buffer. I'm not sure if I want to go with the two stage trigger or just a smother single stage trigger. Also the wife has decided to join in so I'm either getting the MI#30 sling mount with CQD 2/1 point sling or the Daniels tactical rail light mount with the surefire G2 led, for christmas. Sadly the Aimpoint is put on hold.
Ok I might have been wrong on the AImpoint, My wife did get me it for christmas, along with the sling and mount, The light mount is on the way and the G2 LED is waiting at the store. Ohh and the AR restor is inbound also. I don't know yet if I need to get the flat top upper receiver to replace mine with the fixed carrying handle. Forgot, the wife also hooked up the extractor spring as a stocking stuffer. I will include more pics as soon as everything arrives.

got it hooked up. Thanks for the help.
The Ar-Restore is a great purchase! Between it and the Aimpoint I really never leave the target picture between shots!
I was wondering what everyone thought? Nobody mentioned anything after the new pictures. Do I need to repost all the upgrades that I've added on?
Thanks for the observation the glock. I was having a problem with it also. My prolem wasn't with the grip moving, it has been on for years, every since my father put it on when it was his service arm. My difficulty lies with the size of it. I have small hands and am having a problem griping comfortably. The skate tape is a great idea. My father wants to work with me a little on my grip before make any choices. I should have made a decision by mid june.
Overall thanks for the comments, I appreciate the feedback. If anyone is interested I have more pictures of my whole collection on my blog site. http://shawarmory.blogspot.com/ you can post comments n my blogs if you have any feedback there too.
If I had to suggest one item as a must have, that would be it. Eliminates muzzel lift and recoil is significantly lesser. Target retention is amazing.
Right now I've got a spare Fireing pin and the upgrade to the rear sight controls but I didn't even think about upgrading the bolt carrier or any real internal configurations. Good ideas. Keep in mind though that the army hadn't gotten into the M4 era in the units I was stationed so alot of the terms used are outside of my vocabulary so I'll probably have to google have of your suggestions until I get caught up.
