by Dylan Saunders | Wilderness Tactical Hunter - Dylan Saunders

If there is a Dr. Frankenstein of the shooting world, it is the AR-15 owner. We love to accessorize, modify, and reconfigure our AR-15s. We shorten barrels and switch handguards. We cycle through optics, transplant buttstocks and grips, and change calibers like mad...
