Improves Handling & Control
Raptor Charging Handle - Increased Durability & Ergonomics
The raptor charging handle should be added to any AR during the upgrade process.

Increased Durability - Charge it hard without shearing the handle over time unlike the one out of the box
Much Larger Latch - Easier to grip & pull with a serrated surface
Compare Deals:
BCM Gunfighter Grip - Better Handguard Grip
Buy the M1913 version and slap it along any spot on the full length DDM4 12" FSP handguard. Mounting location is much more flexible than other modular handguards.
Enhanced Grip Ergonomics - Drive the muzzle faster to the target with an rock solid grip on the rifle and to operate a weapon light at the same time.
Reduce Sway - C clamp grip ergonomics helps reduce sway by providing better grip leverage
Way Better Recoil Control - Reduce horizontal and vertical muzzle recoil shifts for faster follow up shots (Helps even more if using a muzzle brake)
Compare Deals:
KNS Anti Walk Pins Gen 2 - Solid Trigger Group Retention
Use this anti hammer and trigger rotation pin to lock down the whole system to prevent trigger malfunction. No modification to gun required!
Use .154 Diameter
Quick Installation - Just lock them in place, tighten the screws and you're done!
Go Hard - No more worry of trigger pins sliding out due to rapid fire or drop
Rock Solid Performance - Shoot as much as you like without worrying pins falling out in the field.
No Wear To Receiver - Special anti-creep retainers prevent wear on your lower DDM4 lower receiver
Recoil Reduction
Surefire MB566 Muzzle Brake - Mitigates Recoil
If you don't plan on using any Sig Sauer suppressor in the future, and you want competition grade recoil performance.
Try the Surefire MB566 muzzle brake! It's by far the best muzzle brake for AR on the market. It looks great and shoots great
Reducing muzzle flip significantly to get follow up shots on target FAST! This muzzle brake minimizes side blast and rearward concussion effects for the shooter.
Compatible With Surefire Suppressor with multiple bearing surfaces for superior suppressor can alignment.

Timney Single Stage Trigger - Smooth Trigger Pull
We recommend the Timney AR15 single stage 3lb trigger. It's the trigger you can shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger.
Quick Installation - Install two trigger pins and you are done!, no gunsmithing or re-fitting required.
Fast Trigger Reset - Crisp trigger break, almost no pre-travel, and the short trigger reset puts the trigger back in position for follow up shot immediately
Reduced Trigger Pull Weight - Reduce trigger pull weight from that nasty 8 lbs pull to just 3 lbs pull.
Compare Deals:
Geissele Super 42 Braided Buffer Spring - Improved Spring Service Life
Eliminated Spring Twang Sound - The braided wire spring kills the annoying twang sound and preserves spring harmonics inside the buffer tube.
We recommend the Geissele Super 42 Braided Spring with H1 or H2 buffer for 16" standard gas system
Increased Cycle Life - The spring operates ONLY at around ~35% of its maximum stress load to increase its service life. The springs flex separately from each other like a harmonic damper and energy absorber to displace excess energy to prevent failure.
Improved Reliability - The Braided wire increases bolt return force to ensure proper round chambering when dealing with a dirt or steel case ammo
