Apoc Armory AR 15 accessories with Blackrifledepot? In 1956, designer Eugene Stoner presented his Armalite Model 10 design to the United States military as a possible replacement for the famous M1 Garand. Eugene Stoner was well known for being quite the designer and engineer, but will forever be known for his designs that led to the infamous AR 15. The United States Army was, at the time, searching for a new service rifle that could be chambered in 7.62 NATO which had been adopted only two years earlier. While Stoner’s AR 10 design was not eventually adopted, it did not go unnoticed and was considered by some other nations, such as Spain, and some commercial variants were eventually made. Instead of the AR 10 design, the United States military instead went with the Springfield M14. At the time, they felt this rifle was superior for many reasons, such as reliability, a proven track record on the design, and build quality. Unfortunately, this gun was heavy and many argued that more and more modern firefight engagements were being fought much closer than the 600 or more yards that the 7.62 NATO was originally intended for.
Keymod vs M-LOK: Which One is best? While each system has its own set of advantages, disadvantages, and style, it will really come down to personal preference which one is better. In 2016, the United States Special Operations Command put the two systems through a series of tests to see which one was better. The purpose was to see which one survived rough handling, drop tests, failure loads and endurance tests. In the endurance and rough handling tests, both systems had zero issues. A difference came with a repeatability test, and M-LOK came out on top when it came to least amount of MOA shift when removing, then reattaching a rail with laser sight. Another difference was found in the drop test, when it was found that M-LOK accessories remained attached 100% of the time while keymod accessories only remained attached 33% of the time.
Cold hammer forged barrels are some of the most popular AR 15 barrels out there, and for good reason. These barrels are generally super durable and extremely accurate. Because of this, they are often highly favored among defense and military personnel. These barrels are made by taking a large-sized barrel blank and forcing a tungsten carbide mandrel through the unfinished bore. The mandrel has the shape and cut of the rifling on it, and once in place, the blank is pounded into its final shape by very large hammers. Find more info at Black Rifle Depot AR 15 parts.
Depending on the laws in your state and your willingness to do extra paperwork, a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) can make for a very handy package. Obviously, NFA rules do apply.

Just like every other part of the firearm, AR 15 handguards come in plenty of different options and are very modular. With all of these options available, it can sometimes be confusing. Even the multiple different names (handguard, forend, forearm, fore grip, etc.) can seem a little odd but they all mean the same thing. So what is the big deal with the handguard? The handguard on an AR 15 is the section of your firearm that surrounds a portion of the barrel that is used, as the name implies, to guard your hand from the heat generated from shooting and to hold and support the firearm with your non-trigger hand. When it comes to the AR 15 or M16 platform, the first handguards were designed to incorporate into the rifle’s overall design for being lightweight.
