Cheap mod year in review

[1776]

List your favorite sub $100 mod you've done to a common firearm platform this year (ar/ak/block/grandpa's stupid 107 year old all metal single stack)

Mine is the trijicon AR front sight post. Day or night, it makes it fast and easy to pick up the front sight post.

Ameriglo front sight for wife's G43

Oh, thought you were talking about the site moderators

Picked up these for the .458 build. Taticon flip up sights. $30

AK ergonomics are terrible. And unless you're a purist, this is the first thing you should install on one.

Various products from Forward Controls Design for my AR’s. Mag releases, bolt catches/releases and forward assists. Just ordered some of their new turret caps for the Aimpoint Micros.

Wilson Combat springs in my S&W 686+. 3.75# single and right at 7# double.
Fiber optic front sights on the DW 15-2
Sadlak guide rod in the M1A
Altamont Grips on several guns
The list just keeps growing

Can you post a couple of pics once installed. Always nice to see what people are doing to real use weapons vs mall ninja ones.

Do you know if they make one with an orange outline like on their HD night sights for pistols?

If they did, I would buy it. That's the sight I have on my 43 and I love it.

I don't think that there is anything like that on the market for an AR front sight post. I'd definitely buy one. We need to email Trijicon.

I just ran across these though. A few of those look like they'd work well with the bright paint and the tritium vial.

25 cents worth of sandpaper smoothing out rough edges on grips and lowering the bore axis on poly pistols.

I put suppressor height sites on my G19 and G21

 

[Okuma]

Not under $100, but damn nice. Replaced my G26 carry with a 43. Much more comfortable for EDC.

We are talking about something like this, with the orange outline around the tritium vial...
