The enlarged charging handle knob changes the shape, increases the grip and improves the function. MAGWELL This accessory improves the speed of magazine loading. The ex- panded shape helps in reloads and makes this operation more consis- tent. Fast reloads, limited visibility, shooting on the move – it will be a perfect problem solver. Usually it is a very lightweight piece of gear almost unnoticeable when on the gun. RECOIL BUFFER Rubber part assembled on the recoil spring rod. It will dampen the recoil forces. It is basically a shock absorber that decreases the im- pact force of the returning slide. It is usually very cheap but since it's made of rubber, it will wear down after time. I would recommend checking it up after every visit to the shooting range. If any damage occurs, throw it away and replace it with the new one. HANDGUARD WITH ATTACHMENT SYSTEM This part will allow the additional accessories such as laser point- ers, flashlights, vertical front grip, etc to be attached to the rifle. All of them will definitely improve the performance and functionality over the non-accessorized firearm. As with other things, each of the at- tachment systems has its pros and cons. The M-LOK or KeyMod "negative space" slots are flat and lightweight and the Picatinny has definitely far more accessories available and since it is the oldest system, it is most widespread. To attach Picatinny accessories to MLOK/KeyMod you are going to need additional adapters. Picatin- ny rails are way heavier and more bulku. We can divide handguards due to their length. Short ones are light- er (better balance of the gun) but number of accessories attached is limited, grip front forward to the gun might not be possible to install too. Usually, short handguards will not keep your hand out of a hot barrel. The longer handguards will eliminate such flaws, but they are definitely heavier. There is also an- other thing – more rail estate en- courages placing more and more FIREARMS
