Unofficial aftermarket accessories wishlist thread

[kilo6echo]

I hope this thread will help out our members and aftermarket manufacturers. If you have an idea of a part that you are interested in seeing, post it here.

One thing that I like training with on my standard AR is an Ambi safety lever. Something like a Stag plug and play Ambi safety would be outstanding.

I really believe in this gun and I have a strong feeling that it is going to have a huge following. The aftermarket Manufactures WILL make good money for GOOD value accessories.

Magpul B.A.D. Lever that works with the MP15-22

Heres an idea so we dont have to do a hackjob on our rifles

Does the 15-22 require the "commericial OR milspec" CTR stock ?

Can someone recommend an inexpensive but sturdy bi-pod that is tall enough to raise the rifle off of the deck with the magazine? I put on an extra that I had used for my CX4, and it's no where near tall enough with the magazine.

No such thing as a sturdy but inexpensive bipod. The cheapest your going to get into would be a Caldwell or Shooters Ridge, both are Harris "clones" the Caldwell's aren't as well made as the SR which are exact clones of the Harris and are all steel. You would also need a bipod to 1913 adapter. You are looking at $70/$80 for the bipod and another $20 or so for a cheap rail adapter.

I find it very hard to believe that you can't find a sturdy but inexpensive bipod for a .22 rifle. The bipod that I had around the house was $20 on Amazon and it's fine, just not tall enough. I can't imagine spending 1/4 of what I paid for the entire rifle on a bipod.

I want Trijicon to make a Fixed Power ACOG specifically for a .22LR, I want it to have the same Fibre Optic and Tritium combo illumination and I want it for $400.

You can believe what you want, but I had a $20 dollar bipod and it flew apart and it went in the garbage can. That's my real world experience.

I have an FAB t-pod, and it is tall enough. $70 or so.

Supposedly, the other type (Intrafuse) grip pods are tall enough also.

Considering they are both a forward grip and a bipod, I think the price is reasonable.

 

[Brett248Vista]

Depends on the type of shooting but I find if I am upright shooting off a bench like those used in indoor ranges, my 6-9" Bipod isn't tall enough. I wound up using my Ammo Can to give me some extra height.

I'm sure the Grip Pods are fine if you are in a laying position or seated on an outdoor bench.

I wish there was a cheap illuminated sight but with a small triangle to aim with rather than a round dot.

A charging handle extension would make things more efficient.

 

[~tc~]

You know, it would be pretty damn easy for someone with a milling machine to make charging handles with a longer "handle" *coughBeltFedcough*

or just a charging handle replacement would do.

Picked up one of these at the gun show two weeks ago for $30 and I love it. It's a copy of the Harris but it works great.

[kilo6echo]

yeah, those were everywhere at the gun shows. It's not a go to war item but they looked very sturdy.

If there is enough interest, I will start making aluminum charging handles. My CNC mill needs some work in these hard times. I have to have a few ordered in order to pay for the fixturing. My design/programming time will just be thrown in. Just send an email to [email protected] and I will put that "vote" in a special projects file. If there are other things you want, just send the request.

 

[kilo6echo]

I sent you an email on regarding the things I would like to see on the vote thread.

Ambi safety lever
Magpul style BAD lever
extended charging handle

The JP spring kit is getting a good buzz around here too. If you start selling those on your site I will pick that up too.

That's why I am saying it would be nice if Trijicon would make one.

I had my hands on a $1300.00 ACOG and I had to change my shorts afterwards.. It was the red triangle!
