Accessories for AR-15?

You need an Mlok compatible grip. There are small T nuts that lock into the long skinny slots on the hand guard. There are hundreds of options. Pick one that meets your budget from any reputable retailer. I would buy a cheap one, see what you like and don’t like, then get a nicer one that suits you better.

I prefer an Emisary Handbrake over a vertical grip.


As far as slings go, you don’t want a single point. It makes the rifle flop around too much and frankly turns the hanging gun into a homing missile for your nutsack. Don’t buy a single point. Vickers, AWS and Pig slings are all decent options. Again, find something that suits your budget and go from there.

For a two point sling (which I HEAVILY recommend), you will need an Mlok attachment point. It bolts to the Mlok slots using T nuts and has a hole for the sling to attach into. This will be the “female” attachment side. You will need a “male” attachment to go into that. Those are called “push button QD attachments” and most sling manufacturers will offer them as an additional purchase with the sling. From there, you can lace the sling through the existing little slot on then bottom of your stock, and lace the QD attachment through the other end of the sling and mate the bolt on QD point on the rifle to the to the QD attachment on the sling.

Several choices here. Theyre simple to install. I generally like angled foregrips, like this one.



I like these. Overmolded, has a thumb hook and rubberized grip. The fit on these is awesome.

I also want to get a single point sling, but I need a spot for it to attach to.

Recommend Blue Force gear for sling

What did you decide on optics?

Welcome to an endless obsession with tinkering that if you ever get a rifle set up in a way you are happy with will only drive you to buy another one so you can start over doing it again.

Look at my user name and the word Retired which means fixed income. There will be a limited amount of tinkering. My brother mentioned that he has over a $1,000 of accessories on one of his rifles.

I did find that the Magpul foregrip is in stock at my local Academy or BassPro.

I do wish I had my brother's setup. He can walk out his door, walk about 50' and shoot his guns. I do have a free range about 15 minutes away.

That's really not hard to do. I have almost $400 in a scout light setup.

I got my AR-15 from PSA yesterday

Me too! Well, the upper and bag, that is. The lower came in and I got it transferred Sunday.

I’m thinking angled or ergonomic fore grip, but with a light like the link below. Fore Grip/Light

For me, shopping for accessories with $1k went like this

The main reason I want a sling is where I can be hands free while at the range checking on my target. Obviously I don't want to leave it on the table.

Please don't walk down range with a rifle, please, please just don't do it.

I have left machine guns worth tens of thousands of dollars that were easily taken...actually several of them... on the table at the range while changing targets. Nobody has ever even tried to approach them. If you are at a gun range where you are worried about theft... you need a new range.

Two point slings are the way to go, I keep a bunch of USGI slings on hand just to have an easy to use, reliable, consistent sling on all my weapons, well the AK's get two point Bulgarian AK slings, I just happen to have a metric shite ton of them. Simple really is better, the sling is more about getting a good hold than carrying for me though.

I don't like hanging a bunch of stuff on a rifle, but those angled foregrips can help build muscle memory.

Please return that to Amazon. You can spend about $40 more and get you a basic Holosun. It will be exponentially more reliable than that thing you just bought.
