- Hey, Caleb with Brownells here. In today's video, we're diving into the top five DIY AR-15 products for under $100. I got to pick these products myself, so let's check them out:
🔹 Magpul SL-S Stock: Sleek, solid, with a rubberized butt pad and nice wide cheek weld area without being too wide.
🔹 ALG ACT Trigger: A superb upgrade from a mil-spec trigger, offering reliability and affordability. Made in the Geissele facility, it's coated with two different materials for a better friction coefficient.
🔹 Kung Fu Grip by Die Free Co.: Used in my personal guns even before we stocked it at Brownells. It's slim, low profile.
🔹 VG6 Gamma Break: Offers incredible recoil and muzzle rise mitigation for the price. With three ports on each side and on the top, it ensures fast follow-up shots.
🔹 Unity VFG (Vertical Fore Grip): A slim, low-profile design that's solid and hard to break, it mounts directly to your M-Lok handguard.
These are my current top picks for AR-15 enhancements. As new products emerge, my preferences might evolve, so stay tuned for future updates. If you have any top products you love, drop a comment below!
If you're watching this on the website or need help, feel free to give us a call on the Tech Line. Thanks for joining us, and see you next time. - Спорт
Thank you Caleb for the shoutout! We believe that the process and coatings used to create the ACT takes a Mil-Spec style trigger to new heights. For those that want a trigger they can trust and not break the bank, the ACT is an amazing choice.
I have 2 ACT triggers. Love 'em. Thanks, Big G!
Yep. Almost as good as a coated schmid 2-stage for 60 bucks
How did the plaid shirt not make the list
Over $100
It's from MidwayUSA .....lol
😂😂😂😂
I, like you, have been using the Kung Fu before we started stocking. Love your reaction to the brake.
Breek Arms Warhammer ambi charging handle has been a new favorite of mine the last few years
The brake you have is the Gamma 5.56 SL, which was designed to pin/weld a 14.5 barrel to 16" and still fit the gas block off the muzzle.
This is why it has 3 chambers and the different wrench flats.
The regular gamma 5.56 has 2 chambers with a star pattern on the face (for flash?) with ports on top and bottom
Was coming here to say the same thing. I have the VG6 Epsilon SL pin and welded on a 14.5 and it’s nice to know I don’t have to grind it off to change gas block or switch to an adjustable. I will say that it is not a nice muzzle device to be on either side of at an indoor range. I try to pick an end lane and run it when no one is next to me.
Aero Precision Breech charging handle in large size is a game changer. Surprised you didnt mention the storage function of the Magpul stock.
Rail-scales along with the Karve for the fore-grip are quite impressive enhancements
Magpul CTR with the K2-XL grip and the BCM KAG are my go to.
These upgrade videos are fantastic, I love hearing about all the different options and products out there. Thank you guys!
I used the Anderson stainless trigger in both of my AR builds. Love it.
Ooooo I like this topic 👌
Thank you Mechanic ❤
Seeing Caleb gush after finding something new is a treat.
Men don't gush...
@@VeritasEtAequitas Denial is but a hurdle to surpass.
You can be emotional, have empathy, and be masculine.
Your heart won't be soured from it, and your mental state will fair better when you realize that.
Girls gush. Don't talk about a man like a girl. It's weird and disgusting, and I don't have to take part in your feminizing nor is refusing to "denial".
The best vertical grips I own are the all-aluminum ones by Arisaka. Not too big and machined right. Magpul K2 grips and SL-S all day.
That's another $5 tax stamp, isn't it?
@yourface3154 not sure if that was supposed to be a joke...
@@Fister_of_Muppets I believe if it's under 26" and has a vertical grip, the ATF wants some of that tax stamp money. Seriously not joking, lol.
I got the alg qms and love it, might put the act on my next build
I’ve used them all. Kungfu grip is thr best. The only thing better is thier proto before it that was released with grip tape. It was slightly thinner sides. But also $65. This one is super rad
Good series!
The vft and any small forgrip is great if the gun gets just too hot but it's not time to stop shooting. Great gear.
Damn right Forward Control is a great company. Only Atlas/Plan B device I could find that actually worked like an A2 instead of being an omni-directional design. And the precision is top notch.
For anyone wondering, if you want an Atlas/Plan B muzzle device that is both functional and a well built for mounting a suppressor, this is it. 6315RF for 1/2×28 and 6310RF for 5/8×24
I have an ALG trigger on standby but currently running BCM PNT triggers in all my ARs. I really like the more vertical grips like the B5 and the magpul k2. Great video as always
My favorite is the polished (ept) trigger from PSA. The gueisle is better but not as cheap. Brownells is awsome, but I wish they would bind because PSA is the shiznit.
It seems to me the cutout in the Kung Fu Grip would be as obnoxious as the finger shelf on the A2 grip. A1 or Magpuls for me.
that is an awesome knife. what knife is that been looking for an otf for a while
I got the kong fu grip from tac pac. I use it now on my Saint Victor. Vary comfortable.
Have you done a video like this for the ruger 10/22?
I prefer the BCM Gunfighter foregrip for performing the c-clamp grip on the rail, but that stubby looks like it should work well.
Better friction coefficiency due to the use of 2 different materials was also employed on the original locking mechanism of the Thomson smg.
I know that sounds, that's a micro tech box opener
Barrels handguards and lowers can also be $25 and up. Handguards a little hard to find amazing under 150 though.
Would I be able to oil my AR15 BCG with HOPPE'S #9 gun oil?
Caleb is going to be a great grandpa one day. 👍
Thx you sir 🥸🥸🥸
How much to box up all those “slightly” used parts and ship them to me?😅
Yeah....but what hair gel do you use?
Kung Fu grip aka never in stock grip
I wonder if you get a free GI Joe with the Kung Fu Grip?
Quesssstion... a friend wants to know... does the kungfu grip come with trail mix or sun dried tomatoes or something? That could be an incredible value for a grip under $100.
The opening music is the same as the hold music on some phone systems 🤣
have you measured the trigger pull on those alg triggers?
~6lbs
@@Awesomo12000 100% correct. If you install the purple hammer spring that the ACT comes with it can drop down to about 4.5 lbs.
Thanks for confirming Bill Dawg @@GeisseleAutomatics
Does that hundred dollars include shipping and handling?
Why not a fixed stock?
I love my VG6 brake. I have it on an 11.5” and it works really well. Great choice for a brake under $100
I tried the Kung Fu grip. It is terrible. If you do any rifle manipulation with one hand, for get that. Get a BCM MOD3. Never look back.
It’s crazy to me what people will spend $100 on for bolt-on rifle accoutrements
Rather have a good flash-hider
❤ 🦆
Why would anyone buy an SL stock now that the DT is out?
Challenge: *Top Five AR Upgrades **_Over_** $500.*
Please and thank you.
Lastly, I would include _RailScales_ as another worthy company. I highly recommend their products.
Stay classy my friends.
What is so good about kung fu grip ? Don't like brakes as they are obnoxious , you can build the rifle to mitigate the recoil and muzzle climb ! 🥴
But it’s hard to knock off a pound and a half of recoil for only $24 like you can with a reverse slash cut compensator.
Agreed…I cannot stand being near people using them
The Super Safety didn’t make the list………
Algorithm defeated
Caleb forgot his adderall this morning.
How are you going to pimp a part you don't even have in stock?! 😂 No one has that darn die free grip
What is your “Dad’s” top five lol
''ARE'' !!! Not ''is'' for plural in the English language.
@BrownellsInc actually i would like to see some dedicated content on the (Cobalt Kinetics Pro Grip)
Kung fu grip video please it looks excellent
