After saving up and finally treating yourself to a brand new AR-15, like many first time AR owners, you may be in for a rude awakening: the spending has only just begun!

Quad rail handguards, optical sights, custom accessories, and more… Each of which may range up to several hundred dollars.  High end rifle scopes alone can cost upwards of $2000.  In the end, accessorizing your AR can cost several times as much as the stock AR itself!

But fear not!

We here at Monstrum Tactical have dedicated ourselves to providing practical and reliable AR-15 rails and accessories at rock-bottom, no-nonsense pricing!

To demonstrate that you do not have to break the bank in order to deck out your new AR-15, we have put together a few practical AR builds on a sensible budget.

The Tactical Build

This tactical AR-15 build gives you everything you need for combat situations from close range out to several hundred yards.  You can sight in your targets at close range using the rear sight/front sight post iron sights or at a distance using the illuminated 3x compact prism scope.  The extended quad rail allows for addition of other accessories, such as a bipod or a flashlight, depending on your tactical needs.
