When it comes to customizing your AR-15, there are many different ways to go about it. You can add new furniture, change the receiver’s color or material, or add aftermarket accessories. There are possibly thousands of combinations of styles and parts; there is no end to what you can do with an AR-15.
Because It Looks Cool
When you’re on the market for an AR-15, there are generally two large groups you are a part of. The first is the person who wants a functional, multipurpose rifle that can do everything they put their mind to. Then there is the other, the people who go for cool looks and unique designs. You can be both of these people at the same time. No need to sacrifice functionality for looks for vice versa.
For an AR-15, there are a few parts you need to purchase to have a functional rifle. Those parts are the complete lower receiver group, the upper receiver group, and the bolt carrier group. Each of these groups is comprised of its own individual parts, like the lower receiver includes the trigger group and buffer system. At the same time, the upper receiver includes the charging handle and barrel.
Here is a sample build plan for a cool custom AR-15:
Lower Receiver Group
- We like cool so let’s go with a wolf head-inspired lower like this one from Grey Wolf Armory.
- To make this easy, we can go with a complete lower parts kit like this one from Gun Builders Depo. You can also opt for a drop-in trigger like this one and some Magpul Furniture to finish it off.
Upper Receiver Group
- When you buy a complete upper, sometimes they come with a bolt carrier group (BCG), or you’ll have to pick your own out. This upper receiver group from Critical is perfect for those looking for both multi-functional use out of their rifle and a cool and unique look. No other side charge AR-15 companies have a design quite like this.
- As I said, some complete uppers come with a BCG, and some don’t. If yours doesn’t, then this BGC from Palmetto State Armory will be perfect; it even comes with 10 extra Magpul magazines!
