Eight Must-Have AR-15 Accessories

November 7, 2022 | 0 Comments

One of the best reasons to own an AR-15 is so that you can outfit it with all the parts you want to make it truly your own. There are thousands of accessories, creating millions of different possible weapon customizations. Some owners even buy all of their AR-15 parts separately, then construct the firearm at home. Whether you are building your weapon from scratch or upgrading a new or old model you own, here are some AR-15 parts to help you customize your rifle to be one hell of a weapon.

AR Uppers

Perhaps the most recognizable part of your AR-15 rifle is its rail/upper. Here is where many of the accessories you attach to your weapon will be found. AR-15 uppers can be any range of items. Some of the big ones include:

Sights and optics. What you intend to do with your rifle (hunting, sport shooting, home defense, etc.) will help dictate which of the many rifle scopes or other types of optics you want to put on your firearm. Typically, there are some base iron sights that can stock out most versions of the AR, but you can upgrade to some of the more advanced sighting options available, like red dot sights or optical scopes.
Sound suppressors. Sound suppressors attach to the end of the barrel, so we are including them on the list here. They can be a great way to improve your hunting trips or just reduce some of the noise damage you inflict on your ears.

AR Lowers

On the lower, you can find the trigger housing including the trigger guard and butt of the weapon. AR-15 lowers do not make as noticeable visual changes as the uppers do, but this is where the feel of the weapon in your grip can really be adjusted.

AR Triggers. An AR-15 trigger is another accessory that many people might not think to customize is the trigger; if you’ve spent any time shooting a firearm, though, you’ll know that triggers can vary greatly. The main way they differ is in the amount of pressure required to make the weapon fire. There are also several types of actions, such as single or double, that can impact the trigger. You can put the trigger you desire on your AR so you know exactly what is required to make your weapon fire.
AR Stocks. Sometimes called the buttstock or shoulder stock, this is the part of the rifle that makes contact with your shoulder. Having an AR-15 stock that rests firmly and comfortably on your shoulder is ideal for any sustained shooting. This can impact your ability to shoot accurately and effectively if you do not have the stock you need. Not only that, but this can also alter the appearance of your AR.

AR Magazines

Extra ammunition is always a good idea. The ability to access it quickly is an even better idea. That’s part of the reason that AR-15 magazines make the list. Like pretty much everything else for the AR, there is a wealth of options to select from. You will want to think about the size and material that the magazine is made out of when determining which is right for you.

AR Slings

An AR sling might seem like an insignificant addition to your AR-15, but carry your weapon in your hands for a couple hours while out on the hunt and you will reconsider choosing a sling. Not only will it make your firearm more comfortable to carry, but the right sling can allow you to access your weapon more efficiently when you need to have it in firing position quickly.

AR-15 accessories can distinctly change the form and function of your weapon. Once you have a good grasp on how you intend to use your rifle and what feels comfortable when you shoot, you can begin to outfit your AR with some of the many accessories you can find.

Which is Better? AR-10 Vs. AR-15

September 7, 2022 | 0 Comments

“If you think the AR-15 is too much, get the AR-10. That is five fewer ARs”

As two of the most popular and successful guns on the market, the AR-10 and AR-15 have always been pitted against each other. There has been a long lasting debate on whether the AR-10 or AR-15 is “better”, with some saying the power and distance of the AR-10 outmatches the versatility and maneuverability of the AR-15 or vice versa. Let’s break down these ARs and see what the difference is between the two.

Here at GrabAGun, we are looking to match the right gun with our customers needs, including an assortment of the best AR 10s, AR 15s, bulk ammo, AR-10 magazines, and AR-15 magazines available! Get your favorite guns for sale online at GrabAGun!

History of The AR

Many people are under the impression that AR stands for “Assault Rifle”, but in reality it stands for “Armalite Rifle”, for the company at which it was founded. Armalite was established in 1954 when they built the AR-1, a weapon developed for paratroopers. After many variations of this rifle, including the popular AR-7 survival rifle, Armalite eventually built the infamous AR-10.

The AR-10 was created to compete with the AK-47s and M14s used during the Vietnam War. Not only was the AR-10 a smaller and lighter gun to carry, but it was more accurate than other rifles that used gas piston technology. The AR-10 used the direct impingement system which piped gas directly into the receiver, which then cycled into the bolt carrier. Chambered for the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge, this rifle was a full pound lighter than other military rifles. The long-range capability actually makes the AR-10 a favorite for long-range shooters.

The AR-10 had plenty of influence in new models of the AR. With the newly developed and lighter 5.56 NATO rounds, there was a request to use this new chambering in a new AR, and thus the AR-15 was born. The AR-15 was way lighter than the AR-10 and used lighter 5.56 NATO ammo. In 1959, Colt bought the rights to the AR-10 and AR-15 to start production for civilian use. The AR-15 has now become one of the most famous rifles in the US with almost 20 million AR-15 style rifles in circulation. Interested in an AR 10 or AR 15 rifle?

The AR-10 and AR-15

While most people have a preference for either the AR-10 or the AR-15, both have similar internal functions and external styles. For example, they both have a rotating bolt design, use the same trigger group, are customizable, and many ARs have interchangeable parts. However, the significant difference between the two is the caliber, which leads to differences in things like rifling, weight, and ballistic performance. Today, these rifles are available in a variety of chamberings outside of their initial calibers which can lead to minimal differences even between different AR-10s or AR-15s.

Why Should You Buy The AR-10?

Looking at the differences between a .223 Rem/5.56 NATO AR-15 and the .308 Win AR-10, the AR-10 excels at long distance shooting. With heavier ammunition, the AR-10 has a longer effective range. So, this probably isn’t a great home defense weapon unless BigFoot is trying to steal your fridge. While the heavier ammo leads to longer range accuracy, this makes the rifle heavier and the capacity lower. When you shop for an AR-10, you are mostly going to find .308 Win magazines with 20-rounds or lower. AR-10s can also have more proprietary parts depending on the manufacturer, so more research may be required if you are building a rifle instead of buying a complete AR. If you are a hunter, a long range target shooter, and someone who doesn’t mind a heftier weapon, the AR-10 may be the better option for you! Get an AR 10 for sale from GrabAGun along with your bulk .308 Win ammo and spare magazines today!

Why Should You Buy The AR-15?

The AR-15 overall is more popular than the AR-10 and is one of the most popular firearm platforms in the US. The AR-15 is inexpensive as it is easy to shoot. The ammo is cheaper and it is a little easier to find spare parts and mags. There is great interchangeability between different manufacturer’s parts if you are building an AR-15 as well. With a lighter 5.56 NATO round, the AR-15 is usually lighter and you will be able to find higher capacity 30-round magazines. Even though it is considered a shorter range weapon than the AR-10, the AR-15 is still highly effective between 300 and 500 yards. The AR-15 is well equipped for predators and varmints, but isn’t the best for hunting deer or larger animals. It is also less awkward in close quarters, making it a great home defense weapon, and offers more accurate and faster shots. If you are a target shooter, are looking for a home defense weapon, or just need something lighter, the AR-15 could be the better option! Get your AR 15 for sale at GrabAGun today. We have everything you need for an AR 15 at the prices you’ll love!

Which is Better?

At the end of the day, both of these guns are great when performing the tasks that they are made for.

However, the AR-10 is amazing when hunting bigger game or needing to shoot accurately at long distance. Do you enjoy hunting big game or are you looking for a more accurate weapon at 750 yards? The AR-10 is for you. Are you looking for a gun that is easier to shoot, cheaper, and has better maneuverability at ranges under 500 yards? Then definitely get the AR-15. You can go back and forth all day on the pros and cons of these rifles because they truly are two sides of the same coin. So, when it really comes down to it, it is completely up to you and what you are needing in a new rifle. If you still can’t decide which one to get, maybe ask yourself, “why not both?”

Best Of: AR-15 Lowers

July 13, 2022 | 0 Comments

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced gun builder, picking the right AR lower is important for your rifle build. Not sure what exactly you are looking for? GrabAGun has you covered! Our online store offers stripped and fully assembled lower receivers made of high quality materials from the best in the business. Shop online at GrabAGun today and receive the best deals on your AR-15 lowers and AR-15 parts kits.

What is a Lower Receiver?

Shopping for a lower and other AR-15 accessories can either be a fun or a daunting process depending on your experience level. Even though there are many lowers to choose from, each shooter can individualize their rifle with a lower that features designs and accessories that reflect their personality. An AR lower receiver, or lower, is the bottom half of your AR rifle build. You can choose to buy a stripped lower and then complete it with your choice of parts kit, stock, grip, trigger, and receiver extension, or you might prefer to purchase a complete lower that is fully assembled and ready to go! With the addition of a complete upper, you will be ready to add sights or your optic of choice, and then shoot your new rifle. It is important to note that the AR lower receiver is serialized and is subject to regulation.

Lowers come in different colors, finishes, and materials that can change the look and feel of your entire gun. Some lowers even have eye-catching designs etched into them that will make your AR the most unique rifle at the range! Depending on how you plan to use your AR-15, you want to make sure you get the correct lower that fits your needs. There are typically three types of lower receivers:

Forged	Billet	Polymer
Forged aluminum receivers are the most popular type of lower. Superheated and hammered into the shape of a lower, these receivers are typically lighter than Billet receivers and are the strongest. However, the lower has to be chiseled down after forging to take off any excess aluminum. This can lead to imperfections in the fit and finish if too little or too much aluminum is taken off.	Billet receivers are usually milled out of a block of aluminum. Since these lowers are milled by machines, they are extremely precise and are highly customizable. However, they can be a bit heavier due to excess materials usually used for a design on the lower. They are technically less strong than a forged receiver since the aluminum isn’t hammer forged.	The polymer receivers are cut from polymer instead of aluminum. These are still fairly new and are much weaker than the other two. While these are still catching on in popularity, these lowers are much cheaper and lighter. This makes them a great option for a shooter on a budget or for someone wanting a lightweight build.

In the end, it is up to you to decide which type of receiver fits your AR-15 build. Go to GrabAGun online to check out all types of AR-15 lowers and get the best deal today!

Seven Things You Need to Know before Buying an AR

August 18, 2017 | 0 Comments

One of the most common rifles on the market needs no introduction. The AR, short for ArmaLite, has been a staple of rifles around the world for decades. Though initially considered to be a flop, a lot has changed since its inception. It is now popular internationally, and for good reason.

Because of this popularity, the AR10 and AR15 have numerous myths and facts that surround them. Sometimes, it is hard to differentiate between what is true and what is not. So to help keep you focused on what is important (or interesting) and also true about an AR, here are seven things you need to know before buying one.

1. ARs are completely customizable.

One of the most exciting aspects of owning an AR is the ability to outfit your weapon to your precise specifications. The barrel, stock, grip, receiver, and handguard can all be replaced to make your rifle unique. To add another layer of customization, the receiver is often split into an upper and lower section to allow for even more ways to adjust your AR to your personal taste.

2. They make excellent hunting rifles.

Think about some aspects of a weapon you would like to have when hunting. Light so it does not slow you down. Rugged and durable so it can endure harsh conditions. Most importantly, accuracy, so you will go home with the prize more often than not. ARs are ideal for hunting small game like coyotes and other feral animals.

3. Law enforcement utilizes their defensive capabilities.

Police use some of the most advanced weaponry available to help keep our communities safe. The AR continually makes the list of arms that officers carry. Weapons that are used for that level of defense and security should be optimal for home defense weaponry as well.

4. They come in a range of calibers.

The range of calibers for an AR are numerous. Because of the different sizes of barrels, the functions of the weapon are even more diverse. Sport shooting, home defense, and a wide variety of hunting can all be performed with an AR and its generous range of calibers. This also means that different types of bullets will be used, depending on the caliber of your weapon.

5. The AR is a semi-automatic version of the M16.

The M16 has been one of the most common weapons used by U.S. armed forces since its inception. The M16 is a fully automatic weapon that keeps soldiers of the United States military safe. The AR is modelled off of the M16 as a rifle to help private citizens feel safe and protected.

6. Sport/target shooting is a common pastime with an AR.

Sport shooting often requires your weapon to be accurate and lightweight; two characteristics that the AR offers. For rifle competitions, the AR is more often than not the weapon of choice and typically the rifle that wins the event. Most marksmen would agree that it is a vital weapon for anyone wanting to get involved with sport shooting.

7. There are multiple versions of the AR

The two most common are the AR10 and the AR15. Each have variations in their capabilities, and both are useful and versatile rifles. Analyzing your needs will help determine which type of AR will best work for you. Consider how you want to use your next rifle then gauge the pros and cons of the ARs that fit those needs.

With the extreme versatility of the AR, it is an ideal rifle to purchase for all types of gun owners. It still sits atop the list of modern sporting rifles due to its extreme flexibility as a weapon. This list gives you an introduction to why the AR-10 or AR-15 are so popular. It also gives you an understanding of how the AR can be utilized in your arsenal. Continue to research your state’s laws and the different types of ARs available, and you will be able to find the rifle that works best for you. Can’t decide between the AR 10 and the AR 15? Make sure to check out our blog post to decide which one is best for you!

Things You Need to Know Before Buying a Rifle

June 23, 2017 | 0 Comments

So you are interested in buying your first firearm and you feel ready to learn how to use it responsibly. But what kind of gun do you need? Are you looking for a hunting rifle because you want to be closer to nature or do you just love the outdoors and want to learn more about firearms? Learning more about the options available to you for your first firearm is the first step.

As you research the types of guns available to you, pay attention to the type of ammunition they use, the way they feel in your hands, and how comfortable shooting it may be. GrabAGun has many different types of rifles for you to choose from in various brands, models, and calibers!

Understanding Different Types of Rifles

Whether you are interested in learning how to hunt or shoot targets, you’ll need to learn about the different types of rifles for sale before you can decide what you need to buy. Guns are categorized according to many different features, but one way to easily differentiate among them is to know the mechanics behind the way it fires.

Semi-Automatic Rifle

A semi-automatic rifle fires a single round when the trigger is pulled. That’s different from the way a fully automatic firearm works, which continuously fires rounds while the trigger is held. Semi-auto rifles are larger in size and have a longer barrel. They are also often used for home defense.

Bolt Action Rifle

A bolt action rifle is different from a semi-auto because it works manually, which means you open and close the barrel by hand. A small handle on the side of the gun opens to release the bullet and the casing. Most bolt actions are rifles, but the phrase “bolt action” refers to the way the gun works, which means that it may also be a bolt action handgun or any other type of firearm that is not a rifle.

Lever Action Rifle

Lever action rifles are manually operated as well. Cartridges are loaded into a compartment on the bottom of the gun, near the trigger and trigger guard. The ammo goes into an area with a lever (hence the name). As with bolt action guns, most are rifles, but some are pistols or shotguns for sale.

Single Shot Rifle

Single shot rifles are named as such because they hold only a single round of ammunition. This is one of the oldest designs of a firearm. The simple design is still popular among gun enthusiasts today.

Revolving Cylinder

Revolving cylinder guns are guns that have multiple chambers for ammunition. The most well-known and recognizable type of gun with a revolving cylinder is a handgun where the chamber snaps out of the side and rotates. However, there are other types of firearms that have revolving cylinders as well.

Accessories

Next, you’ll want to consider looking into the types of gun accessories you might want to use. That can help you get a better idea of how you see yourself as a hunter, target shooter, or firearm enthusiast. Do you think you will want to use a stand? Or perhaps you simply want to be able to carry it with you for protection.

Rifles at GrabAGun

Now that you have a basic overview of the types of firearms for sale, you’ll want to know what to research next. Think about your purpose for purchasing a gun and focus on that. Do you want to hunt, protect yourself, or just shoot targets for fun? Envisioning yourself owning the firearm is the best way to answer questions about what you want. If you are looking for a .22 rifle, make sure you check out our blog post on the 6 best .22 rifles for sale at GrabAGun!

A Quick Guide to Hunting Guns

June 16, 2017 | 0 Comments

If you are interested in the popular sport of hunting, then you’ll want to learn all you can to find the hunting firearm that’s best suited to your needs. If you’ve spent any time at all vetting hunting guns for sale, you’ve likely discovered that there are many different types available.

All these options can be overwhelming. But ultimately, the hunting firearm that is best suited to your needs will depend on a handful of factors. First, you’ll want to consider the type or types of prey you’ll be hunting. From there, you can narrow your search based on the size of the gun, the speed and energy of the shot, and the level of accuracy required to be successful in your hunting quests.

Evaluating Different Types of Hunting Firearms

Hunters love the thrill of their pastime. They also love the firearms they use while on a hunt. There are plenty of different firearms that can be optimized while hunting. Though, some are better for certain situations than others.

From rifles to shotguns to handguns, there is a place for each depending on where and what you are hunting. A closer look at these three firearms will help determine which gun is right for you in your hunting environment. Below are a few pointers about the main types of hunting guns people regularly use.

Hunting Rifles

Perhaps the staple of all hunting firearms, rifles are powerful and easy to reload. They are all built based off of the same design, and are versatile by nature, with barrels that can accommodate different calibers of ammunition. There are also different types of rifles, including semi-automatic rifles and lever action rifles.

That makes rifles very accessible to hunters of a variety of different game animals. They can be used for faster prey like deer, feral hogs, and boars. Hunters of exotic game (such as rhinos, tigers, and leopards) as well as those hunting larger North American game (elk and bears) are also avid rifle users. But rifles are also well-suited to hunting smaller prey like rabbits, foxes, and coyotes. The rifle is an adaptable firearm that can be used in many hunting situations. GrabAGun has a many different brands of rifles for sale including Ruger, Remington, Mossberg, and Winchester.

Hunting Shotguns

Shotguns are also a versatile hunting firearm due to the variety of shells they can use. They can be loaded with ammo that is better for fowl or other birds, or they can be loaded with rounds that are better suited for larger animals. Shotguns are generally pump action firearms, but are also available as more tactical lever-action shotguns or semi-automatic shotguns.

Hunting Handguns

While handguns aren’t always a hunter’s firearm of choice, there are some handguns for sale that come in a variety of sizes and calibers, making them versatile enough for hunting. One thing to keep in mind if you’re looking for a handgun is that most have a limited range accuracy, and are not ideal for ranged shooting. The amount of recoil and kick you are able to handle will also dictate which handgun you will be able to accurately shoot.

Which Firearms Work Best for Different Sizes of Game?

Now that you have a better understanding of the most common firearms used in hunting, we can cover which firearms you should take with you based on what type of animal you are trying to hunt. This will be a basic overview, as the range of firearms available for your needs could fill books.

Smaller Animals

For hunting smaller prey such as rabbits, squirrels, and other tiny creatures; you’ll need a firearm that will not completely destroy them when it makes contact. Smaller caliber rifles are the most common gun used for this game. A .22 caliber cartridge is the ideal shell you want to use. Be careful when you choose your bullet, though. Some are designed for quick expansion and are only intended for use on varmints (animals you do not intend to eat and that are a nuisance). For animals slightly larger than these, you will want to use a more powerful caliber.

Medium-sized Animals

Hunting medium-sized animals — those that range from 51 to 300 pounds — requires more energy from the firearm and bullet. At impact, the bullet should be at least 800 ft. lbs. Bullet sizes range from .24 to .40 caliber, depending on the size of the animal.

Larger Animals (Big Game)

Big game animals range from 301-1,000 pounds in weight. If you are a big game hunter, you are after animals like elk, musk ox, wildebeest, zebra, kudu, and moose. Because of their size, you will need premium bullets in order to achieve the right amount of impact for a successful and ethical shot. The range you should target if you’re hunting big game is .27 to .375 caliber.

While the information provided here is a great place to start, there is a lot more to being a skilled, knowledgeable, and responsible hunter. Picking out the right gear is an absolute must and GrabAGun is the right place to find everything you need.

Helpful Tips on Gun Safety, Handling, and Storage

June 2, 2017 | 0 Comments

Here at GrabAGun.com, we pride ourselves on being all about guns – and that includes being all about gun safety. Being able to fully enjoy your firearm is only attainable through proper handling, storage, and care of your firearm. Here are some helpful tips to use as a guide for proper gun safety, handling, and storage.

Gun Safety Tips

The Four Major Rules

There are four major rules to follow when you are the primary person using a firearm. The first and primary rule of gun safety is to always treat it as it if is loaded. This means that no matter if it is loaded or not, if the firearm were to miraculously fire, it would not cause harm or damage. You need to constantly be aware of where the firearm is pointed and by extension, understand the safest direction.

Second, always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Third, keep your finger off the trigger unless you are ready to fire. Many firearms have finger guards to rest your finger on. Utilize this or your trigger finger along the side of the firearm. Fourth, know your target and what is beyond it. An added level of precaution is to always have the safety on until you are ready to fire the firearm.

Become an Expert

Learn as much about how your firearm operates as possible. Know the parts and components, how they function together, and the exact type of ammo that your firearm should use. The more you understand about your firearm, the more likely you will be to catch problems that could arise in its use.

Evaluate Your Firearm

Before you fire your gun, make sure that it is working to the standards you are used to. Check that the mechanisms all seem to be working properly. Routine cleaning and proper storage will help prevent problems from arising and also maintain the gun’s overall upkeep. If you see something suspicious, take your firearm to a specialist before firing.

Properly Store and Handle Your Gun

As I briefly mentioned in the last bullet point, proper storage of your firearm is pivotal to its functionality. Using a range bag or carrying case to transport your firearm to and from where you will be firing it is a major step in gun safety. This extends to how you transport your ammunition and firearm accessories. A satchel can keep all of your other necessities in a safe location as you take it to and from your home. Storing your firearm with a gun sock can also prevent most debris and dust from accumulating inside your firearm.

When your firearms are not in use, they need to be kept in a manner that prohibits any unwanted persons from using them. Cable locks and trigger locks are two of the most common ways to keep your firearm secured. Consider using a gun safe in addition to individually locking your firearms.

Keep Guns Close By

Being able to have your firearm snug against your body with concealed carry holsters such as a paddle holster is a great way to keep others from accessing your firearm. Additionally, a concealed carry purse can keep all of your items safely stored in one location without allowing unwanted people access to them. With your gear close on hand, you will decrease the likelihood of people teaching your equipment without your permission.

Gun Safety at GrabAGun

These are just some of the ways that responsible gun owners should be handling and storing their firearms. Keep you, your family, and others safe by following these tips. Remember, it is always wise to continue to educate yourself on gun safety. Be safe, and enjoy your next time shooting.
