High quality Odin Works AR 15 parts? Perhaps no gun in history has received the fame, praise, and the criticism as the AR 15 rifle. In the United States, the political advances of gun rights have easily made the AR 15 the poster child for both sides of the debate. No other gun is as beloved by gun rights supporters than the AR 15, as the rifle represents the perfect example of the Second Amendment. On the Other side, supporters for gun control see it as a weapon of mass destruction that is simply designed to eliminate lives due to the nature of the weapon. They bring up it’s ability to rapid fire and expanded magazine capacities. Even though this rifle (and many others like it) is used in less than 1% of total deaths in the United States, there is no denying the fact that this gun is in the spotlight for both sides of the debate.
One of the only possible downsides to keymod is that you might not be able to find as many accessories compatible with this system as you would M-LOK, mainly because some of the biggest names in the industry produce products only compatible with the M-LOK system. Another slight disadvantage to keymod is that some accessories may not work very well with polymer handguards because of the design. If you are searching for a slimmer, lightweight option better than the traditional picatinny, then keymod may be perfect for you. Keymod has been incredibly popular because of its modularity and lighter weight, and there is no end to the amount of accessories that you can mount with it.
Extreme long-range shooters and competition enthusiasts will usually opt for non-chrome lined, stainless steel barrels. These are much more accurate at longer ranges, but they do wear out a little faster and are harder to clean. So, which one should you choose? It depends on what you plan to use your AR 15 for. For most people that plan on using their AR 15 as a tool, whether that be plinking or home defense, then a carbon steel barrel, preferably chrome lined, would be the best choice. These barrels will withstand plenty of use and abuse and are much easier to care for. If you plan on using your AR 15 for precision shooting or competitions, a stainless steel barrel may be the better option for you and your needs. These will be much more accurate. Either way, both types of barrels are great and can be used for whatever you want, but just remember each have their own set of pros and cons! See more details on AR 15 Parts.
10.5” 5.56 NATO Pistol Upper Assembly: If you’re still liking the idea of an AR pistol build but don’t like the idea of a super short 7.5” barrel, an obvious solution is the 10.5” 5.56 NATO Pistol Upper Assembly. This is a length where, ballistically, with the right ammo, it could make for a very mean little defensive AR pistol. You’re only adding 3” to the gun, but that length addition, in our opinion, bumps it out of ‘range toy’ category and into an area where you could seriously consider this as a trunk or behind-the-nightstand pistol, depending on your needs. Our 10.5” 5.56 NATO Pistol Upper Assembly has the same features as the 7.5″ 5.56 NATO Pistol Upper Assembly, and paired with one of our bolts, you have a very handy, reliable and practical AR 15 pistol. One caveat: Even at 10.5”, these upper assemblies are still loud. As long as you know what to expect going in…carry on.

For most handguards, the two most commonly used materials are polymer and aluminum. Both of these materials are very durable, and aluminum will usually going to be the stronger of the two. Aluminum can, however, emit a little more heat during an extended shooting session than a polymer handguard. Aluminum is much more resistant to heat, although it will heat up itself and can be hot under extreme conditions. If you do a lot of high volume shooting, aluminum is a great option for you. Polymer handguards will usually have a heat shield constructed of either steel or aluminum that will separate the actual polymer from the barrel. This helps dissipate the heat generated from the barrel, and there are also polymer handguards that will have a steel or aluminum framework to lighten them up and provide structural durability. Polymer does, however, have a lower melting point than aluminum. While it is super rare, under continuous and extreme firing, the heat from your barrel could warp or even melt the polymer handguard. Polymer does, however, provide a little more impact resistance than aluminum.
