    Default AR15/M4 Gear

    Ok, its been 13 years or so since I owned an AR15(M4 design), and now that I have a new one I'd like to dress it up some. There weren't many options back then, so I'm way out of the loop on things.

    Budget is of importance, I'm still not sure my lady friend(she's more than that, no official title) wont beat me to death with this M4 yet for spending the money on my 8th gun in 6 months time. lol

    1. I'm looking for a direct replacement for the forearm. One of those quad rail units that all I have to do is compress the slipring & spring down to change it out. Aluminum is preferred over plastic.
    2. forward vertical grip
    3. green laser w/remote switch
    4. flashlight thingy

    The factory pistol grip is getting changed out for sure, the one finger groove bump just doesn't work with my hand.

    This is the model I have: http://www.stagarms.com/product_info...roducts_id=205

    Magazines: From what I'm reading the Magpul's are what many like.. Wheres the cheapest place for those?

    There are too many places selling AR stuff to mention them all. You might try:
    http://www.danieldefense.com/?page=shop/index
    http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/
    http://stores.homestead.com/Laruetac...StoreFront.bok
    To name just a few of the better ones.

    Go to Primary Arms for a quad rail. Better than UTG at a lower price.

    and some reviews here:

    As far as grips w/0 the bump, I just installed a Magpul MOE grip ($20 at BravoCo) and I'm really digging it. And depending on who you talk to (nearly everyone, actually), PMags are the tihs. Bravo Company is a good spot, when they're in stock.
    Hope this helps.

    Another place for mags is www.44mag.com. This is one of the cheapest places that I found for mags. Also very good service.

    I see you are looking to have a vertical grip attached to your rifle. I think that the best thing to do with this would be to free float your barrel with a free float rail. That way you can mount a sling and a grip and not have to worry about torquing your barrel. I think it's the only way to go if you want a carbine set up in a fighting configuration and are looking to add more then a light.

    I had noticed a difference of about an inch when I had a VFG attached to my former surefire M73 on my M4 carbine. I would recommend the Yankee Hill lightweight free float quad rail for your carbine here http://www.impactguns.com/store/YHM-9631.html
    The mounting is easy as pie and trust me, you will see an increase in accuracy of your rifle almost immediately.

    Might want to look into that angled forgrip Magpul has out, supposed to be a more ergonomic way to keep your non shooting hand.
