Did they take your Legos away from you too?
I have noticed for a very long time that there is a strong correlation between the guys that can’t stop accessorizing their M4 Carbines or AR15s and there previous childhood hobby of playing with Legos. One thing that I always consider when putting something on a firearm is knowing if it is combat worthy or not. There are a lot of things that are sold at gun shops and gun shows that are just downright trash, and others will hold up if you mount them properly. Now that everyone has a rail or A3 model, you need to buy rails to protect them when not in use.
Now that you need new rail skins or rail covers, you have to pick out the pretty colors you, do you want Field Green, Dark Earth, OD Green, Black or Tan on your M4 Carbine? Magpul Pmags also come in many colors and sometimes people can get pretty particular about which colors they want. I guess you want your gun to look nice when it’s pointing at someone. I admit that it does get a little messy when you have mismatched color firearms parts and accessories, but as long as you don’t have rainbow colors on them it won’t be the end of the world.
