The Magpul CTR Stock

Magpul CTR Stock

We are constantly asked for our opinion on the best AR-15 stock for least amount of money. There are many options out there but we find ourselves reverting to the same answer, the Magpul CTR. This stock, in our opinion, is one of the best collapsible carbine stocks out there. It is a replacement buttstock that is installed over a standard mil-spec six position buffer tube. The CTR is strong, light weight, aesthetically pleasing, and won't break the bank. You might find a confusing similarity between the standard MOE and the CTR. The difference is easy. The CTR stock has a friction lock system that allows you to eliminate the annoying wiggle that happens with cheaper versions. The friction lock system maximizes weapon stability, removes rattle, and has a high quality look and feel.

The Magpul CTR stock also features an ambidextrous QD sling mount that accepts most push button sling swivels. The Mil-Spec model offers a 0.30" rubber butt-pad that reduces if not eliminates possible slippage on body armor or modular gear. 

The CTR comes in four different color options:

Black Flat, Dark Earth, OD Green, Foliage Green

With so many features, colors, and proven battle history; the Magpul CTR is a solid option!

Hope this help!

AR-15 Accessories On A Musket?

It is awesome what creativity people have! With a little imagination and some Photoshop skills you can make just about anything! Found this floating around the Internet and thought I would share. 

If the generation that used muskets had access to our modern rifles, parts, and accessories it might have been a different outcome. Crazy to think about. 

If you are interested in trying to replicate this AR musket, we can help you with the parts and accessories you need. 

Good luck.

A New Source On How To Get More Followers On Instagram

A New Source On How To Get More Followers On Instagram

American War Machines started it's business venture on Instagram. I knew that social media was a definite game changer and had to be implemented in order to be successful online.  We are on almost every platform of social media at the moment but started out with just Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Although all of them have their own purpose for your online business, Instagram was definitely working best for us at the beginning. We have been on Instagram over a year now and have developed a following of over 6000 awesome follower! I love that it allows you to be much more personal and connect with your audience in a unique way! As people started to recognize our authority on this platform, I people were often asking for tips on how they could get more followers. It gets very time consuming answering the same questions over and over. I have remedied this by creating various blog post answering peoples questions like: Do you have an AR-15 parts list? or What is the best 1x4 scope for an AR-15? Another question that was asked was how to get more followers on Instagram. This is a HUGE topic and has too many answers for just one post, so I did better. I created a blog where I will be documenting the basics as well as offering advanced tips on how to create a massive following organically. There are no paid ads on Instagram so the only way to create a following is through time and energy, that or just be famous which I am not. So if you would like to follow our blog on this topic you can view it by clicking the link to our new site below. Be sure to sign up on the bottom of the page for updates and new blog posts. I hope this helps you guys!

I'm sure that some of you have already seen this video since it was posted in 2011. I just came across it this morning and thought that it was a great vehicle explain topics that are always debated. Maybe we should make more cartoons with relevant humor to break down certain concepts. I thought this video was hilarious. What do you think?

Making 2014 The Best Year Yet!

Making 2014 The Best Year Yet!

I know this is a little off topic but I thought I would take the time to share things that have helped me accomplish my goals last year. 

Every year we find new gimmicks or products to help us achieve our personal goals. Some people find them self paying thousand of dollars on gym memberships and personal development courses. Some of us achieve our goals and others find themselves loosing motivation very quickly. There are many paths on the pursuit to happiness but which actually work? 

Here is a list of FREE products I have personally used to help keep me on track:

Lift-

Whether your goals are large or small, Lift reminds you to accomplish your "wins" for the day. You can select goals like push ups, running, meditating, reading, and random acts of kindness. You can also create your own goals if it isn't listed. There is a large community there that can see your activity, comment, and build relationships to help stay focused along the way.

My Fitness Pal-

Losing weight is not easy but it is vital for longevity and production. With My Fitness Pal you get all the tools you need to successfully lose the weight. I was trying to trim up some for a cruise a couple years back. This app was constantly in my face reminding me to log my calories and made me very aware of what I was eating. The food we eat directly reflex our energy levels and metabolism. This app has a bar code scanner and portion tool to make it easy for you to log your meals.

Map My Run-

If you haven't figured it out by now, as we age, our metabolism slows down. I have ALWAYS hated running but found it to be one of the only effective methods of dropping those unwanted pounds. Something else happened though. The more I ran, the easier it became. The easier it became, the more I ACTUALLY enjoyed it. WEIRD! This app is synced up to the GPS on my phone and has lots of really cool features. The notifications it provides are a must for my busy schedule. 

Evernote-

Trying to memorize all your personal and business passwords is just plain dumb. Whether, I'm making a list for my next Home Depot run or a checklist for my next camping trip, this app has me covered. It has the ability to act like a virtual filing cabinet and gives you options for sharing with other people. Love this app! 

Home Routines- (nominal fee)

Even though this one isn't free, the value it provides is worth $4.99. Managing a home is tough! My home is managed by my wife and I which is even tougher because we both work full time and have two boys to cater to. Home Routines is an app that allows you to create zones and customize cleaning duties for your house. It also give you the capability to sync with multiple people on one account so everyone has the same info. 

Schedule Planner-

Creating a schedule, especially if you own your own business, is a must. Without a schedule many tasks are not performed in a timely manner or forgotten. With this app it is easy to categorize your tasks and even set them for certain times of the day. Very handy to have access to your schedule any time in the form of an app.

White Noise-

Sleep is crucial to mental and physical fitness. If you lack the proper amount of sleep for the day it will affect everything else. I have a hard time turning my mind off at night. I found having some white noise in the background help drown out the thoughts and background noise. This app has many sounds to choose from and helps me get to sleep much faster.

I hope you find these apps useful in the coming year. If you use any of these apps, I encourage you to share your experience in the comments below. 

American War Machines wishes you a prosperous and productive 2014! 

Remember most of all, our time on this earth is limited. Do not get so wrapped up on goals that you forget about the things that actually matter like family and friends. It is our relationships that make us continue to love life and want to be prosperous. You may find when you are lost, the people that love and care about you are the only motivation you really need! Right?
