List Of Must-have Firearm Accessories 
Being a gun owner and using it for sport is like owning a supercar. It is fatal when in the wrong hands, 
but it is a prized possession when handled with responsibility. Like cars, most gun owners also tend to 
trick out their firearms to personalize their gear further. Sometimes it might be a subtle change to the 
handrail, a sweet new optic, or a medium loop lever that matches the gun’s finishing. If you bought a 
new gun or are considering adding some functional and stylish rifle accessories and parts to it. Check 
out some of the must-have accessories you need for your gun.

1) Ammunition
The gun is only one aspect of a firearm. Without the correct 
ammunition, your gun is practically a paperweight. There are different 
ammunition available depending on the use of the gun. So, it is vital to 
match the right ammo to get the most out of your gun. There are 
different factors involved when buying the right ammo for your gun, 
such as:
▪ Bullet Type
▪ Caliber
▪ Grain
▪ Length of the round

2) Bipods, Tripods, UnderBarrel Grips
For any gun, accuracy and precision are of utmost 
importance. To do so, it is vital to stabilize your gun as much 
as possible. This is crucial, especially when hunting outdoors, 
as the terrain would be uneven to prop your rifle against it. 
Hence, most people tend to invest in either a bipod or a 
tripod when using a rifle. In pistols and handguns, owing to 
the design, you can only use underbarrel grips to increase the 
stability of the gun. Investing in a good quality bipod/ tripod 
ensures good stability and also helps keep the gun grounded 
against the recoil generated.

3) HandGuard
When constantly firing a gun, its barrel heats up, making 
it difficult to grip the front of the gun. A handguard 
attached at the front of the firearm has two benefits:
It protects the user from touching the hot barrel
It has attachments to add secondary weapons or other 
firearm accessories further
The type of handguard depends on the mounting systems 
available for the gun. The most mounting systems 
available in the market are M-Lok handguard, KeyMod, 
and Picantinny.

4) Triggers
The trigger is like the heart of your gun. Your gun only 
works when it moves. When it comes to customization, 
most gun-owners tend to tweak around with the trigger 
mechanism. The amount of force you exert while firing the 
gun affects your aim. Some prefer the feather-light action, 
while others opt for a reliable crisper trigger action. The 
large loop lever is the popular trigger mechanism opted by 
owners of Marlin’s most comprehensive range of guns. A 
precision wire cut and CNC machined trigger lever allows 
the user to cycle without lifting their eyes from the iron 
sights ergonomically.

5) Cleaning Mat and 
Solutions
Your gun is a complex mechanism, and to keep each firearm part 
functioning smoothly, it is essential to keep it dirt-free. It is also an 
important safety measure. Carbon and lead residue from firing bullets 
are left behind. 
▪ Gun Oil
▪ Wipes
▪ Fine bristle brushes
▪ Brass jags (to clean the chamber or the barrel)
▪ Cleaning Mat (to keep the underlying surface safe)

6) Holsters and Storage
Unlike in a western movie, you cannot carry your guns on your 
shoulders in a western movie, ready to fire even if you are a 
gunslinger. Not only is the gun prone to damage from hitting on 
different surfaces, but you also don’t want to force your gun 
onto anyone you interact with.

7) Muzzle Brakes
Muzzle brakes are ingenious devices that connect to the 
muzzle or barrel of the gun and redirect a portion of the 
propellant gas away from the barrel. This results in a reduction 
to the recoil action after firing a gun. By redirecting the gases, 
the vertical recoil is reduced, significantly improving the gun’s 
performance. Muzzles generally have a diagonal cut at the 
muzzle end or holes/ slots for easy gas dissipation.

8) Safety 
Equipment
Guns are loud. Prolonged use of guns at short range can be very 
damaging to the ear and lead to hearing loss. Additionally, the muzzle 
flash can be blinding and disorienting. Hence, it is crucial to invest in 
some safety equipment such as a muffler or hearing protection kit 
and shooting glasses. The glasses protect you from any flying debris 
such as gunpowder or shrapnels.

Wrapping Up
Your gun, on its own, is your prized possession. The accessories mentioned above are must-
haves as they elevate your gun’s performance significantly and increase its lifespan. By 
investing in a good quality gear bag, you can have all the rifle parts & accessories in one place 
and keep them safe.
