The question, what configuration should I have for my M4 Carbine?
There are so many ways to accessorize or customize your AR15 rifle or M4 rifle these days. So many brands, Magpul, VLTOR, Midwest, Tago down and on and on. It looks like strictly from a retail stand point that Magpul is king of the customizations and I see it every day in our AR15 parts sales. There are gun grips, foregrips, angle fore grips and more. There are different lengths and widths and all of this can get frustrating if you are not disciplined. I have a Summer/ Winter CCW mindset and many people need to stop wasting money on accessories and just get more than one gun and stick to it. When someone takes a short carbine and puts a 14x scope on it, I think there is something odd about that. Just get an AR15 upper with a longer barrel and put that optic there.
Slings and sling attachments is something that people also get frustrated over because they put it on in their house and everything is good and when they get to the range with their tactical vest on, everything is snagging and hanging up. We have sold a great many of the Magpul slings from the MS2 and MS3 and now the newer MS3 QD. There were apparently some issues with the Magpul MS2 although not everyone is going to notice it. Some hangups and fraying occurred with them and well, what the heck, why not just replace it with something better even if the differences are minor. The biggest selling point of these slings is that they are either a single point or a 2 point sling. That’s 2 slings in one, a good deal.
