If you own an AR platform, you know how frustrating it can be to undertake any mods if you don’t have the proper tools. From trying to remove the front sight post retaining pins to swapping your stock foregrip with an M-Lok one. There are just so many modifications you can do with your AR rifle. It is truly the ‘Meccano set’ of the adult world.
However, anything other than a cosmetic mod typically requires a trip to the friendly neighborhood gunsmith. While turning your AR into an eye-catching race gun may be a good idea, it is not a DIY project. Or is it?
