Five Must Have AR-15 Accessories for SHTF
Tuning the AR-15 for SHTF

When the crap hits the fan, what accessories would you want on your AR-15? For OPSEC and to keep our names off extra paperwork, let’s ignore silencers and short barreled rifles.

Silencers may play an important role in surviving a post-SHTF world, but paperwork is also an OPSEC issue. Anyone having access to the right paperwork will know exactly who has a silencer and who has a short barreled rifle. There are also the local, state, and federal laws and restrictions to consider.

For the sake of discussion and to keep things simple, lets just exclude anything that requires paperwork.

Iron Sights
The art of shooting with open sights is a dying pastime. In today’s world. With so many relfex and red dot optics on the market, who needs to use old fashioned iron sights?


Sling
Ah yes, the sling. Nothing fancy needed here, just something so you can sling the rifle across your shoulder when checking on the livestock, filling water buckets, feeding the animals, collecting eggs, or whatever else needs to be done around the farm.

Scope
You don’t want a tactical red dot optic that requires batteries, but something like a basic 3×9-40 scope for hunting.

Good Quality Magazines
I’m not talking about the gun show magazines where you get 3 mags for $15, or 4 mags for $12, nor the magazines that have been through hell and back, run over by a Hummer, dropped on the floor one too many times, and especially not ones with bent feed lips. If you are stockpiling AR-15 magazines for SHTF, let’s pick some good quality, brand new magazines. There is no need to bet your life, or the life of your family, on used, low quality junk.

Spare Parts, Cleaner and Lubricant
Let’s be honest, the AR-15 has a bunch of small parts and springs that are easily bent and/or lost.
