The market produces so many customizable guns to give firearm enthusiasts more to think about. Some changes not only enhance a gun's functionality but also gives it a badass look compared to how it came out of the box. If you’re fond of accessorizing your firearm, then go ahead and do so to your heart's content. Feel free to customize your own handgun or any firearm as you desire! Just keep in mind that because there is an accessory for a gun, it doesn't mean you have to bolt it on. I prefer just having upgraded iron sights or an EOTech and a light on an AR-15. These customizable guns are known for having numerous aftermarket and replaceable parts like triggers, sights, stocks, you name it!

In addition, most AR-15s come with a flat top upper ready for accessorizing. One accessory you want to have is the B.A.D. Lever, which allows you to drop your mag and close the bolt with one finger. It is unbelievable how many accessories you can equip this firearm with!

Good list, and no argument. I do have to say that while working in Iraq as a private security contractor, I saw a lot of really nice AK customization work. A lot of the South African guys used AKs and they did a lot of work to customize everything from stocks to rails to sights and internal components so it should get an honorable mention.
I would add a Glock to the list.
Easily the AR 15 , The shotgun would be a close second
Great newsletter. Looking forward to next issue.
