THIS ☝ 💯 I made the mistake of buying a BCM out of the gate. Now I feel like I have to spend 1400 bucks or more everytime I buy another one. In all honesty, its "just" a plain ol' milspec gun. Hindsight says I should have spent half as much on Areo Precision, and I would have NVGs by now. Smh..

Oddly enough, this exact topic has been on my mind a lot lately. I recently took the time to step back and reflect on what gun ownership means to me and it helped me identify several areas I have been neglecting/overlooking. It was helpful to break things down into smaller identifiable goals and begin to move towards them according to their priority. As such I've shifted mindset from 'get another gun' to 'just finish one' and by finish it I don't just mean the firearm, I mean the accompanying gear and skills as well. Can you stop the bleed? If faced with a hostile force how will you carry extra mags? If you get lost on a hunt can you start a fire? The firearm is just one part of the overall system.

It's funny, when I was young outfitting with accessories was half the fun and half the effort. But now that I'm in my 60's, I've been leaning back to the simple striped down original versions for simplicity, and to shed bulk and weight. Plus I've also been leaning back to the original architecture from the so called "assault" rifle architecture.

Slings are an important tool to include on your rifle, whether they are two-point or single-point. However, the most important thing to have are backup iron sights if you mainly use an optic of any type. Batteries die, glass breaks, weather conditions can negatively affect them. Finally, a mounted flashlight is also a critical option to consider.

Highesy priority accessory besides spare mags i think would be sights. I own a Ruger Mini 14 from the 188 series and the flip down rear peep sight is just hot garbage. Adjusting it was a pain in the butt so i just bought a Tech-Sight for it. Same thing with my Marlin Camp 9 and Model 60. Irons were useable but i slapped a Hawke 3-9×50 scope on both and they are just a blast now out to 100 yards

The order I get firearms related items are in the order I feel they may become difficult to procure in the future. So for the last 10 or so years it has been. 1 Firearms. 2 Magazines. 3 Ammunition. 4. If needed, iron sights. If I’m going to use a firearm for a particular purpose like home defense, carry, hunting or a shooting competition I will finish fitting it out with the gear I will need. If it’s just something I take to the range I can swap optics, lights slings… My thinking is that if the federal or my state government ever succeeded in restricting our firearms rights they will go after restricting the first 3on my list and I will have the time to get all the rest of the gear. Additionally, in the majority of cases it’s the guns, mags and ammo that manufactures discontinue that I want and the longer I wait to get them, the better the lights, sights and other accessories become.

just because you can set up 3 cameras and randomly cut between them doesn't mean you should.

Iron sights Magazines Sling Light Optic That's the order I've always gone in. Good video.

Food for thought! Good video guys. Roll us one outta your bag ,Chad!! 😁. Merry Christmas to All! 🇺🇸☠️🇺🇸

Love Eric's T-shirt!

Updating your gear is also something important that is often overlooked!

about a year and a half ago i acquired a Ruger AR-556 - bought some iron sights and a sling at the same time that i picked it up from the FFL, have had a "blast" with it so far - at some point i might put some optics on it but i'm not in a big hurry. if i come across a good deal on something good for this rifle i might think about it ............

You don't need a sling on all your rifles. Just get a few slings, but outfit all your rifles with quick connects to attach the slings to.

I have 3 project funs. Every big sales day, I'll buy a trigger, a stock, and extended slide handle. I'm not in a rush with my project funs. These are for style and function over usability and practicality.

Love the steven Rhoads shirt dude

I use 1 sling a butler creek mountain sling. My grandmother gave it to me for Christmas when I was twelve. I'm 40 now. Used it on every adventure I ever been on. Lol

In the house you need a reliable gun with a bright light.

Thats a really cool shirt 👕., my first knife fight awesome lol

Folding stock and front grip are the most important. Even before sights!

Just ordered a bunch on slings on Amazon. Thanks guys lol

learn about the Timney alpha trigger for Glock. Nothing changed concerning the slide or connector & they are awesome!

Have a great one ^^

I like the "B-Cam" angle .

Oh that reminds me I need to order one of them sling attachments for that hole I got on my bullpup I always forget to order that.

I specifically remember one following him home from Fort Worth Texas LOL

You had a gun with circles in the wood stock. I saw a British testing site turned into a museum that used to put these circles on to mark their examples. This was on their website.

Trex coupled with arisaka to design the light bar your speaking about for suppressor use!

I didn't know Trex arms was on yalls radar. I'd LOVE to see yall do something with Lucas.

One very important thing if you’re getting a pistol and plan a light for it make sure there are several holster options for the planned firearm/light combination. Been there done that, the light has never been out of the box. I own 2 slings if mice haven’t ate them. I don’t like them and find them in the way.

Good sights, ammo/mags, training

Either way though when it comes down to it 1. Sling 2. Optic 3. Foregrip/finger stop 4. Light optional 5. Laser optional 6. Mag after mag after mag

I fight with this concept all the time. Hahah

I think the majority of us started out buying more parts than needed and or really wanted before completing a build. I have 2 giant Rubbermaid containers of parts from triggers, slings, lights, barrels and handguards. I have the obvious repair parts and extras in case something happens and I need to fix a bcg or gas tube and a pile of buffer springs and buffer weights but after that year of collecting and changing out parts that won't be used, I learned to decide what I wanted before buying anything.

I feel like Erick and Chad are singling me out on this gun grips video

😆 love that tshirt 💥👊🏻💥

MERRY CHRISTMAS FELLAS 🎄🇺🇸👍

Extra magazines are great. Thank goodness I had got some for the Thompson 45 back in 1980. The last gun show I went to years ago, the 30rd stick magazines were going for $100 each. I found some recently for $69 and bought one. May buy more later, but I have other priorities that come first. What kind of sling can I put on it? It has the pistol grip type forend on it.

Guilty!! At least my main "bump in the night guns" are outfitted for all those capable in the family (wife and young ones). I do have a couple of builds in the process. I can't finish my long range rig because other "goodies" keep catching my eye!!

I have two comments one I got suckered into an NcStar once about 15 years ago and it's been phenomenally perfect except you can't see crap at night with the light on it's a 2.5 to 10 power and a 2.5 with the light on low it works fine as long as you don't plan on seeing out of the scope just look at the radical with both eyes open you can shoot at night but as far as glass clarity holding zero tracking great with it my AR shoots three quarter inch groups easily at 10 power of course I took it off the gun the other day replaced it with a primary arms to power GLX prism suits my needs much better the things amazing three-quarter inch groups no not anymore fast accurate shake awake thank you

As a hobby I make custom leather holsters. Buddy asked me to make him one. I usually need the pistol for a day or two to make sure the holster fits properly. He told me it was his only handgun. I was flabbergasted. He looked at me kinda crazy when I said " wtf I have 3 on me right now ". I loaned him a revolver to carry while I finish the holster.

Lmao Eric's shirt!

Properly utilized a sling can be a great aid in precision shooting.

Mags, ammo, sling, sights, ammo, optic, light, ammo, extended controls, mag carriers/pouches, ammo.

Of course I've done that but generally I'm pretty good at finishing one out before moving on I'm kinda OCD when it comes to that but I am bad about continuing to buy guns while I still need this or that for whatever I'm currently working on !!!

A buddy of mine is horrible about cheaping out in the end. He spent 3k plus on a 300wm years ago then stuck a damn $200 scope on it

3d printed bipod and iron sights on my budget ar, still need a light.. Might print an angled fore grip too

I love my Gucci Glock, but I do understand what your getting at. It's just that guns tends to be Legos for adults.

Yup, the first thing I thing of when buying a gun is “what sights/optics am I putting on this?”

I understand some things having just crap triggers, but to many people are trigger snobs that if it ain't the perfect weight and pull they freak out. I say adjust yourself to the feel of what you carry, and if you practice enough it will feel just fine.

And after magazines and sites, optics, slings and flashlights, think of a battle belt, chest rig or plate carrier to hold magazines and medical supplies.

Tacticool beanholder here I come!

Talking about the people who buy nice guns and lower grade equipment, I kinda went the other way with a PSA AR with an EOTECH 558, Streamlight Protac, Spectre Gear sling :P

Merry Christmas gents

I don't like to buy a gun that I can't shoot right out of the box because it takes time to be able to buy an optic and everything so decent iron sights are a must

Cz P10 pistols buy one then its new barrel, HBI trigger, steel guide rod and 14Ib spring, and apex extended slide release. Then 3 more magazine and more.

Chad must have frosted his own flakes this morning 😆, looked like he was getting on Ericks nerves

After mags/ammo and iron sights, the number 1 accessory should be a flashlight! it should come before a sling or optic. As they said in video you must be able to identify your potential target in a defensive situations! The Four Rules not only apply in fights, they were MEANT to apply in fights, so there is no excuse not to know what you're shooting at. There are so many cases where people have shot or killed family members because they didn't properly identify the target. A light can also illuminate your iron sights too until you can get the optic. After that, a red dot, sling, and in my case as a lefty some ambi controls, are all that is needed for a defensive rifle. Keep them simple and lightweight with only the needed accessories made by high quality manufacturers, and then focus on acquiring skill and marksmanship fundamentals. Training and practice is more important than hanging a bunch of stuff on rifles.

I wish I had “piles of guns”. Can’t even finish my ar in California.

Well if your AR comes without a rear aperture then you definitely need a rear aperture sight. If you can’t aim at what you’re shooting at that should be your first priority
