If you are considering a custom AR-15 then there is a good chance you are a hunter, a sport shooter, or a home defender. And with each one of these things, having a rifle personally built to your specifications can give you the advantage.
AR-15s allow gun owners to explore their vision as it pertains to the functionality and appearance of their custom weapons. But is it possible to create a custom AR-15 that possesses a balance of aesthetics and functionality? Let’s find out.
Why Create a Custom AR-15?
You can buy stock, mass-produced rifles from many different manufacturers. Why put in the extra effort to have one custom-made? If you find yourself asking this question, you may be surprised to find out that there are quite a few benefits of investing in a custom firearm.
Better Performance. There is no denying that an AR-15 that has been custom-built for you will offer you a better performance. You can use parts to create a better whole — avoiding some of the issues that come with mass-produced firearms.
Built Based on Your Preferences. You have a say on what gets added to your rifle and can leave off those things you don’t need. You can create it to suit your needs based on what you intend to use it for.
Make it Unique. With custom colors, grip modifications, custom barrels, and so forth, you can make your weapon as unique as you are. You can even make it match your personality.
Feel Comfortable. When you have a custom-built AR-15 created to your standards and specifications, you will be more familiar with it. After all, it was designed with you in mind. This can make it easier to handle, too.
Designing the Functionality of Your Custom AR-15
When designing the functionality of your custom AR-15, there are a few basic parts that you must consider. The good news is that you can design it with the best options on the market – or the ones that make the most sense to you. For instance, you are going to need a grip. Any grip will work, including the standard option. But, if you want one that is going to feel comfortable in your fingers and not hard and irritating, you are going to want to choose better.
Additional parts that can be changed up to improve functionality include:
Stippling
Triggers
Back-up sights
Charging handles
Anti-rotational pins
Stocks
Barrels
Optics
Safety selector
Muzzle devices
Receivers
There are many different parts that can be included in the customization, depending on how particular you want to be.
Creating a custom AR-15 means that you are already giving yourself a chance to have a better-functioning weapon. Choose the upgrades that will make your weapon feel the most comfortable in your hands so that you can get the most out of it when you use it.
The Aesthetics of a Custom AR-15
Many choices you make in customizing the functionality of your AR-15 can play a role in the aesthetics, too. And then there are some aesthetic changes that can make the weapon more functional, such as free-floating handguards. These are some of the most commonly sought additions to a custom AR-15 for someone who is looking for an aesthetic masterpiece.
You can always choose colorful parts to create a beautiful weapon that can stand out while at the range – and still give you a perfect performance. Parts such as the plunger assist, handguard, mag release and mag catch, trigger guard, and more can all come in the color (or colors) of your choice.
