AR-15 Furniture Considerations

With there being so many different ways to re-furniture an AR-15, there are some key things you should be considering when doing so. In this video, Brandon talks about rifle furniture.

@@aarosario0915 Man. I appreciate you I’m becoming more open minded. The reason I am like this is because I’m also poor only make $15 an hour. I have 2 Bcm rifles. 1 DD5 1 Glock. All have Eotech’s. Got 1 G33 magnifier Surefire lights X300T even bought KAC flip up iron sights as back ups. I even bought from trex arms my lpvo n mount right from his website. There’s NO reason a American who makes WAY more money then me should be buying budget equipment. It’s ridiculous I’m tired of seeing it and gun reviews of what randoms run. Daniel defense, Geissele, Bcm, KAC, Lmt. They just need to review those. Maybe Sig vs glock too to finally put the end to that debate too. Glocks are obviously better in my opinion it’s literally the best handgun ever made

[@AndreNUTZDEEZ]

@@aarosario0915 I think 9k is too much for a firearm unless it’s a Knights armament rifle Ar10, or Hk 5.56 or 7.62, only certain firearms worth that much. Hk handguns are a joke considering the price Vs glock and reliability

I became a believer in the magpul Moe+ with the rubber overmolding. Great grip shape, great texture, durable as all hell, and good internal storage solutions.

[@connorburnes7697]

This guy's rifle is a nice looking set-up. I'm referring to the one he says is his personal rifle (approx. 6:30min mark). LOVE it!

[@Ubergamer256]

Having used almost everything… Stock: BCM w/ compartment - fits a spare bolt - Grip: Stark w/ ext guard - completely fixes any grip discomfort, seriously awesome

[@camoandplaid]

Great information. Lots to consider when buying parts, especially if you might have to Run it for a while

[@Neanderthal54]

Good move on TRex’s part moving Brandon to front & center in their video streams. Doing a great job there

[@cutlerf2194]

On the note of that "hot spot" i really like the BCM grip, but I get that same thing further back. I curred mine by cutting a radius into the corners of the grip that present aft of the receivers ears on both sides. Basically just washed out the corners of the grip behind the triggergaurd with a series of rounded needle files.

[@JDangly]

The forward controls design trigger guard is hands down the best trigger guard ever made. Completely eliminates the hot spot issue.

This is a great video. You should also do a video dedicated to what parts you should select. (I.e. trigger, lower parts kit, buffers/spring, upper, bcg, etc.) i inso that you briefly cover these topics in other videos, but you dint have a dedicated video for it.

[@greggullett1272]

THANK YOU! Those that say you shouldn't run any type of forward grip need to listen to this. It is great just for a reference point, added stability with little effort, etc. I'm just a dude and no one listens to me

[@Way2Evl]

When I first saw this video, I thought to myself, wow, these content creators are running out of ideas. I was wrong! What a great video!

[@b1ametw]

Very educational👍

[@Sheppard2030]

Thank you, sir.

[@Sophistry0001]

The grip angle vs length of pull thing is such a big consideration. One of mine is set up as a 11.5 shorty AR pistol, I have the brace in tight. The A2 angle grip is so bad for my wrist holding the A2. I 3D printed a new grip that has a much more vertical angle and it's been cash money. As far as a foregrip, I think less is more. Trying to slot your gun through a VTAC barrier with a broomhandle sticking out, flashlight, IR etc is just one more thing that can get hung up. At the very most I go with a small "bikini" hand stop just to use as an index point.

[@TsunTzu]

Yep, this is all *extremely* subjective as ya said. Personal opinon though? K2, BCM or Magpul Foregrip, Emissary Handbrake, CTR w/ Extended Buttpad or SBA4? Perfect for me. Special mention for Sig's MCX folding stock. That thing is surprisingly comfy.

[@nekokyun]

Tbh i always really loved the classic M4A1 style stock. For me, it feels so nice.

[@kdb1891]

I just got a BCM KAG to try for the first time. I actually really like it. Not sure why it took me so long to finally buy one. But I also just got a True North K2 grip stop, which immediately became my favorite "fore grip" I used to be obsessed with thiccc stocks like the STR, SL-S and B5, but now I'm all about the slimmer bois. My favorite is the CTR or SL and the BCM Mod 0 (non-sop mod)

[@spitfiremac]

My undersrabding of the K2 grip was that it wasva combo depending on how you hold it... Lower is straight for short LOP and up in the beaver grip for more angle with longer LOP. They did it this way so distance to trigger and trigger placenent would be relatively the same despite the hand placement.

[@thomashalley7258]

The k2 having the dip in at the top of the grip helps reach the safety if you have shorter finges.

[@ThatGuy-kf7fo]

B5 Bravo stock has the angled buttpad but still comfy like the Sopmod. I like the BCM stock too except it pulls beard hairs like crazy.

[@tacticaltexan7100]

I like the SOPMOD B5 because I can keep three 123’s per tube. I keep a ball of paper to wedge the batteries so they don’t rattle

[@crunchyknees3622]

Having a vertical grip on shorter rails definitely eases the tension in your wrist. For demonstration holding your hand out in front of you as if you're holding a rail. Bring your hand back towards your chest while maintaining a straight line as if that rail continued towards your body. You'll notice it starts to become uncomfortable. So on SBRs and M4A1s I prefer a vert grip to reduce the angle of my hand.

[@joejoeseesingtons]

Good info

[@ashember7064]

I love the hogue overmold stocks as i have facial hair and they have great qd points.

[@kalliste23]

The stock the length of your forearm is good generalization but for prone a bit longer than that is better.

[@brandon.wombat]

Good point that I should've mentioned

[@miltonoliver3705]

Favorite stock, magpul sl stock, k2 plus grip, followed by bcm, grip, and bcm mod o stock

[@SentinelMace]

I'd say it's very subjective depending on your body type (neck, hands, arms, joints, injuries etc), but also the length and weight of your rifle make a difference. I like a straight vertical grip on say a 11.5" URGI with say an ACOG or just a red dot, it's perfect with an old waffle stock and A1/A2 grip for my physique and preference. But on a 14.5" URGI with an LPVO I prefer a magpul CTR, something like the BCM or K2 grip and just some hand stop on the rail.

[@Southern10Five]

I use all BCM…stock, grip and the shorty angled foregrip facing forward..

[@HWG-wm8ld]

We can sleep better knowing that…

[@RepublicofTX]

I’m sure these BCM shills love that! Too bad your “Top tier” rifle can’t even cycle steel ammo

[@MichaelLeopold1]

Informative

[@m4e1supremacy]

I've found I prefer CTR, SL, or the Gunfighter stocks for LPVOs, instead of the wider cheek weld options from B5

[@elcidcampeador9629]

HK Adaptive grip looks comfy

[@Blueknight1960]

I like the F.A.B defense gradus pistol grip. It is very comfortable and very affordable.

[@762x69]

Very underrated and is also my preferred grip of choice. Fine tastes Blueknight

[@mr.stotruppen8724]

I've finally come around to the reality that waffle stocks are not awful. I can mount a sling the way I like it using a triglide as a stopper in the slot. The cheek angle is how I like it; SOPMOD fatness was never my thing. Prefer to keep my face vertical. It is the single lightest furniture option out there. If it rattles add tape.

[@tripplej6053]

Can you please do a video on proper stock placement when using eotech without riser under nods? I keep having issues hitting my nods against the optic.

[@brandon.wombat]

I did an IG video on our main IG about it. I shot an EXPS Eotech with a fat B5 stock and a PVS-14 passively. I would love to do a YT video about passive aiming.

[@FXIIBeaver]

BCM has the best pistol grip.

[@The_Ghost923]

Until things change or I can move to a free(ish) state, my rifle setups are pretty much meat and potatoes: other than the typical furniture like pistol grips, stocks, muzzle devices, etc, pretty much just an optic, BUIS, vertical foregrip, and white light. Also, whatever your setup, get a good sling to complete it...

[@1stidvet553]

K2, BCM and b5 are the only ones i use

[@mc-sillix961]

Don't forget, in a good pistol grip fits most of the time 2 CR123 batteries or other stuff like CR2032, Boresnake, small lube bottle.

[@SeanTownsendStormrider]

I love the discussion, although I find the pistol grip logic a bit odd. In my opinion, length of pull is adjusted to the shooter and not a scope's eye relief. You can obtain proper eye relief for an LPVO in the mount without compromising the optimal length of pull for your body. I will concede that with ACOGs, you may have to shorten the length of pull with those due to the extremely short eye relief. On the rifle you demonstrated set up for the tactical games, you have plenty of room in that mount to push the optic farther forward if you don't want the stock all the way back.

[@HWG-wm8ld]

You also wear sunglasses on your cap, have a goatee and take selfies

[@blizte3]

where can i find tri rails on sale as riser or qd quick release mounted tri quad rail that are selling?

[@joeymedina7115]

I’ve found that even for prone shooting with a variable magnification scope and a longer length of pull, I still prefer a vertical grip. Maybe it’s just me tho

[@johnl-cz2qg]

No it's not just you... it's most people that prefer a vertical pistol grip! Brandon is a Smurf riding a short bus so I guess it works for him! LOL.

[@KnownNotUnknown]

Would you recommend quad pic rails still.

[@josephhatcher9903]

What's up on that Holosun video?

[@jmbrowning6257]

I like a more vertical pistol grip like the ones from BCM or B5 P22 but they could have a better 360 degree checkering. Dont like the K2 beavertail. They should make a version without a beavertail or even a Miad version of the K2

I guess I don't understand what you mean by not liking the "flat butt pad" in the back of the B5 stock.. Every stock on the table is flat in the back, so I don't understand the argument.

Idk, but my best guess is that it's a way of label different calibers.

[@calholli]

The more vertical grips are better on every rifle IMO.. If someone made a perfectly vertical grip-- I'd use it (if it was cheap). I usually go for the K grip myself. K2 is second best.. then the gunfighter, etc. I'd rather have a perfectly straight vertical grip.. but the only one I seen was super expensive.
