A good site. Their articles on ANTIFA communication and field organization are also worth one’s time.

Keep it simple, and do it right. A lot of the new gun owners, and idiots in general have every attachment they can buy and will either get snagged on something, or not remember which button to push when SHTF.
Both my and the wife’s ARs have collapsible stocks, low power scopes, flip up iron sights, and bipods for longer distance work. Bang bang.
ACOG. PVS-14.
Those two are worth more than my collection of M4s.
Sorry, I'm on a budget.

Interesting article! Nice post!
ACOGs run well over $1,000. An Aimpoint or Eotech is less than half that. Put the difference into training and range time.
Not even gonna get into the 1/7 to 1/9 debate. And as for actually finding case lots of 77 grain OTM ammo, good luck. Last I checked it was $1.00 a round or so.

Do you use an ammo vest? If so what do you recommend? My 10 round AR magazines don’t do well in the band of my sweatpants.
“But if you want a one n’ done, the ACOG is the one.”
It’s a little rich for the private sector, no?
I concur with the 1:7 twist recommendation. This works with heavier bullets for longer range as well as 55gr stuff in close.
Regarding FF handguards, PSA doesn't have the best choices. There is better and more functional stuff to be found through Breek or Phase5 for example.
I have switched my slings mostly to the Magpul MS4 Duel QD. I like to run two point, but I like the ability to switch to single point in less than a sec. Single point is really nice for switching from right to left handed for CQB corners. The rear attachment point is at the lower receiver buffer tube plate, not on the adjustable stock. I have this on all my sling ready lowers: https://phase5wsi.com/sloped-quick-disconnect-end-plate-sqd-ep.html
Oh, and the article doesnt mention a light at all. You really need something. This is new and I have tried it and really like the ergonomics of it: Cloud Defensive OWL Weapon Light. Its a little more than a surefire these days, but has lots of features that make it worth it to me.
98% of people will not and do not need this type of article. Buy any gun. Pistol, shotgun, carbine, rifle, gas launcher, flare gun ....
Buy a gun you can use and are willing to use.
If your a big time nuts and bolt gun owner, yet go to a public range, encourage, praise, teach .... never compare Peters, I mean guns. Any gun in a citizens hands is the perfect gun.
My 1/7 vs 1/9 vs 1/12 twist for my SHTF bullet weight doesn’t help. If someone asks great otherwise STFU
That’s alright but pretty expensive. There are some good 2 MOA red dots out there for not much money. A 1:8 twist will also work with match loads up to 77 gr., and a longer or even heavier barrel is fine for one who gets accustomed to carrying it around much and using it (for places with more visibility, terminal ballistics, etc.).
BTW, a free float hand guard isn’t going to make any appreciable difference for most people other than maybe a really warm left hand. Tacticool dudes with tight slings and a fear of getting dirty like ‘em a lot, though.
