    I have been told by many to keep an extra bolt (BGC) in my Magpul handle. My VLTOR Imod stock has places for batteries, small tube on lube and allen wrench for accessories.

    Conceptually, I think it was brilliant when the industry began offering components that allowed certain spares (bolts, firing pins, batteries) to be carried on the gun. In actual practice, however, I've found that I have emptied or removed almost all of them, simply because carrying one's bench stock on the gun is pretty much unnecessary, and taken together, adds weight that I don't really wish to carry.

    If a bolt goes down, the chances are that my range bag will be very close by. If in a more austere environment, it is entirely likely that I will have a vest on or be similarly-kitted in a way that more easily affords carrying such things on my body. In other words, short of standing on my back deck in my underpants and needing to change out weapon light batteries, I can't see too many operational environments in which I really need to have spares on the gun.

    Not saying it is bad practice; merely that I am increasingly sensitive to the associated weight and balance issues, and that all of these ounces contribute to the pounds that I would prefer to bear elsewhere. The UBR is an impressive piece of equipment, and I appreciate how nicely it offsets muzzle-heavy/suppressed configurations; that said, it is not light, and it really doesn't need to be made any heavier by turning it into a storage locker. On the other hand, and as alluded to earlier, I really like the handling attributes afforded by the open/no door setup.

    When I had a UBR I didn't use the storage compartment. I removed the storage covers and ran it "skeletonized". I kept a spare bolt, firing pin, gas rings the MIAD grip.

    Same here. Doors off. I keep foam earplugs in the pistol grip and if I put the doors on, I'd probably keep more earplugs or maybe some chocolate coins in there...
