Have enough guns? How about more upper receivers for your AR15?
I don’t think you even need to worry changing calibers if you want something different than a 556 upper. I’ve seen guys turn an M4 Carbine into a varmint rifle with a snap of two pins on a lower receiver. The real thing to look out for is changes in calibers, namely to a 5.45×39 upper. Many times I’ve seen guys skip the hammer spring change and end up with a light strike issue with Russian ammunition. We sold a ton of the Smith & Wesson 5.45×39 uppers a few years ago but for some reason they just don’t seem to be available.
The LWRC M6Ak was a one off novelty deal which died a quick death and no word if it’ll ever happen again.
Right now the biggest selling upper receiver we have are the Adams 5.45×9 uppers. I had a customer take apart his gun side by side to my AR15 complete upper receivers and compare the piston differences. There is a difference and I still love my LWRC M6A2 but this gun was a next best thing and a best thing for a 5.45×39 upper. You still can’t beat the cost of ammunition for these guns and the caliber does have a better reputation than the 30 caliber AK. I’ve known guys that took hits from the AK it has so much energy that it just zips through you and the Russians finally caught on that the 5.56 was a better combat caliber.
For those of us living in the part of the Country where we get all 4 Seasons of weather, our concealment options usually will change atleast 2 times a year. There are enormous numbers of ways you can conceal a weapon, but for those of us that carry full size weapons, the warmer the weather the fewer the options. I carry a full size Beretta 92F while at work and one of my favorite ways of carrying this firearm is in a Fobus paddle holster. For only about $20, I’ve gotten more than my moneys worth and have never broken the holster. I’d have to say that if I was rolling around in the dirt I would defanitely prefer to have a Serpa holster.
That is the question an Operator may ask themselves while out in the field. There are a lot of so called tactical vests on the market, and there are also several military surplus assault vests, too. Sometimes some of these are good for something, but not always in the best condition or won’t go very well with your present line of tactical clothing. GMG Global Military Gear makes a nice tactical vest that has the ability to retain a sidearm on the front pocket as well as hold several pistol magazines and carbine magazines.
