    Get a solid gun (bcm.colt, blahblah...) and shoot it and get good. When you find that hardware mods will improve your shooting, go for it. Stocks would be the last thing id change, and the thing I see people go through the most.
    Sounds like my brother...lol he ninja'd out his sig400 and all I could do is smh.

    A light is very practical on a carbine. Practice is good, but it's having it on there when you need it that would matter the most. If you ever plan to use it as a defensive weapon, you'd better have one on there.

    A lot?

    I bought my first AR in 1973, I have owned and sold 4 Colts and 4 BCMs . My friends always seem to want to buy them and during weak emotional moments I sell/ trade them" They have all been 100% stock.

    Customizing an AR is like modding a car. It's a statement of individuality and to some it is a hobby.

    Just remembered this thread.

    My Colt LE6920 had a dreadful trigger so I installed (ah, someone else actually installed it) a Geissle Super Semi-Automatic (Enhanced).

    What a tremendous difference!

    My neighbor and I were shooting in my back yard (I live in the country) and I asked if he cared to shoot my Colt with the new trigger. He became an instant believer.

    This is a 2 stage trigger and for bulls eye shooting it's the best.

    I think very few people leave their AR's stock, especially after some time. The closest thing I've got to a stock AR is a colt 6920. The only addition is an aimpoint pro in a larue mount. My Larue predatAR is stock except for index clips, 1-6 swfa optic, larue mount and larue sling attach points. My daniel defense v5 is rigged out for HD with everything you'd expect.

    I always try to keep it simple and upgrade as needed. Don't fix what ain't broke.

    I kept mine stock so far for about a year. After shooting a few thousand rounds through it and trying various friends AR's, I've made a few changes that I've found work better for me.
    (B5 Bravo stock - more comfortable than MOE, BAD ST lever - left hand shooter, umbrella corp grip - wrist problems, and an aimpoint pro - because I can).

    I bought my first AR in the early 90's a week before the ban. Figured I'd get it while I could. Colt Match HBAR. It was like the rifle I had when I was in the Army, Only the barrel was big all of the way down and the handle came off. (Figured out later, damn near 20 years, about the shelf and the bullshit that's sticking up). Damn thing is like a laser beam. Only problem was with some reloads I made stovepiping. (Re-Note to self, don't use reloads in these guns)

    Flash forward to 2009. Left CA, went to Texas. I don't remember how it happened, but I ended up here. Decided to build a rifle. An A2 with a rail. Billet lower, Noveske Barrel, Giessle SSA, pretty bitchen rifle. Built another one, MOE kinda gun, Noveske/BCM/Geissle, kinda rifle. Building one now, it's gonna be a Jack carbine clone, only better.

    Learned some stuff along the way. Stuff I don't need is Bad levers, AFG's, Billet lowers, ect, ect.......

    I'm an old low speed high drag dude. I don't think I could complete a carbine course without serious knee-back pain and being "That Guy".

    I am a hobbyist, I don't think I'm a wannbe. I was in, and met the "Be's", I know who they are, and I'm not it.

    I like building rifles. The Wife seems to be cool with one a year. So I will build the most awesome rifle evaaaahhh once a year.

    Keep it coming, I'll try it after seeing M4C. Thanks IG-Grant-ect, I'm having a good time.
