Tactical GearIn the early 1990s there was a surplus of military style rifles coming into the Country.   There were goofy thumbhole stocks to avoid violating gun laws or cheap parts for kits.   Many of these rifles had pretty ugle stocks especially many of the rifles coming in from China or Egypt.   If you have one of those MAK90s or Maadis that works great, but looks like crap, you might want to upgrade your stock with a synthetic.   Many of these stocks are made in the US and can be considered US Parts to add to your legal alterations of your gun.

One of the best and easiest upgrades for any of your Chinese or Russian guns is a Fiberforce stock for your SKS.  The SKS is one of the better balanced guns that the Soviet Bloc states put out and the Fiberforce stock won’t offset that.  There is even a folding stock version that might help you if you want this as a truck gun or want to save some room in your safe.    For AR15 accessories, you can go nuts on AR15 upgrades, but think about what you really want on your gun before you just start buying, try handling your buddies guns before you just order pistol grips that you don’t really know much about or how they really feel.  Everyones hand is different and not all grips will work for you.  You can mess up the balance of your gun if you throw a heavy rail on it, especially if you don’t really need much tactical gear on your gun, why do it.

Pistol GripWhile there are many arguments about which firearm may suit you, one issue that the novice shooters often need to be educated about is that even if you are shopping for a gun that is reliable and a caliber you can handle,  everyones hands are different and knowing that a gun grip can be easily customized or modified is something often over looked.

I have picked up various firearms over the years and one thing I have ended up doing was replacing the factory versions of the grips to Hogue or Pachmayr.    There are some drawbacks to using fingered groove grips, some complain about hand cramping after long range sessions, but the reality is that you have to try it before you know it feels right.   Accuracy is another improvement I see whenever I reccomend people try different pistol grip styles for the same gun.   I’ve seen shooters change their opinions about which gun to buy just bases on the grip they were using.

Tango Down Rail PanelWell, I found out the hard way or should I say the sore way.    I picked a Midwest 4 rail handguard a few  years ago and loved the thing.   I didn’t have the need to use all of the rails right off the bat, but I figured I’d atleast put a flashlight on it at some point.   Well, I’m not much of the tactical accessory type, but I figured I’d go tactical with the 4 rail forearm.   Most of my ARs have the standard forearms and I’m use to holding the rifle in the traditional manner.

The traditional setup for an Ar usually means only mounting optics on the top, like an A3 AR and nothing on the sides.   I know there are some variations that still can use a flashlight, but they are not as common.   I was at the range putting my new setup to the test and after about 50rds of shooting, that cold hard, somewhat sharp 4 rail setup started to feel rough on my hands.   I’ve decided to pick up some Tango Down rail panels to help protect my hands and the rails until I settle on which kind of M4 Carbine setup I’m going to go with.   Still shopping for the right flashlight.

Advanced Technology Rifle StocksAdvanced Technology Rifle Stocks are a great way to upgrade or improve your shody surplus military guns.   I’ve used the ATI Stocks on my Mak90 gun for years because the awful thumbhole stock it came with really ruined the image.   The absurd gun laws that were implemented in the early 1990s really dumbed down the looks of some of the surplus AKs that came into the Country.

You can legally swap your thumbhole stock on your Mak90 with having to swap out your Chinese parts for US made parts by upgrading to the ATI Fiberforce stock Advanced Technology Black Glass Filled Nylon, Thumbhole AK-47/MAK-9o.   See this list for other ATI stocks such as Mini 14, Remington 870, Ruger 10/22 ect.

Glock PartsGLOCK MAGAZINES

Like no other pistol, GLOCK pistols permit almost unrestricted compatibility of the magazines within a caliber. Standard magazines, for instance, can also be used for backup weapons. Compact and subcompact Glock  Parts model magazines can be loaded with a convincing number of rounds – i.e. GLOCK 26: up to 33 rounds.

The innovative polymer frame of the GLOCK pistol does not require grip shells. As a result, it has
considerably more space for the magazine body and enables double-row staggered cartridge configuration. For this reason, GLOCK pistols are superior in firepower to conventional pistol models of the same size.

M4 ForegripsAfter years of searching for the ultimate Quick Detach method for our vertical grips, TangoDown has teamed with American Defense to bring you the best vertical grip yet.

Some weapon systems and mission profiles require a quick detach/attach method for vertical M4 Foregrips and other components. Ideally, this design would require a wide range of adjustment to fit MIL-STD spec and out-of-spec rails. It would also require no tools for rapid, accurate adjustment in the harshest field conditions. It would also be bombproof and light as possible.
