Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 35. The holiday season always brings in a lot of new guns and new gun owners. Whether you’re picking up your first AR, or your 15th AR, there’s always room for improvement from the base product unless you’re already paying top dollar for one. In light of that fact, today we’ll be focusing on things that you can buy to upgrade a budget AR-15 beyond what already comes on it. If you’re looking for a couple of great examples of what TFBTV staff does with this concept, you can check out one of our more recent videos where TFBTV’s James Reeves and Hop are in the midst of a build-off where they’re working with a budget of just $1,250. If you like the idea of taking a basic AR-15 rifle and upgrading it yourself or you just happen to find yourself with an extra rifle this holiday season, these deals on firearms parts are sure to help you make those upgrades and save you a few bucks in the process. We’ll also be throwing in a handful of other neat deals I’ve found across the web from this last week. Happy building everyone!

AR15 BREACH Ambi Charging Handle w/ Small Lever – Black (BLEM)
The Aero Precision BREACH is a rugged, ambidextrous, precision-manufactured charging handle for the AR15 platform. The BREACH’s design utilizes a reinforced 7075 aluminum bar that is up to the most demanding tasks. Its ambidextrous levers feature a patent-pending, dual spring system, that directs the force-of-use into the robust charging handle body. This allows the shooter to use a one-handed charging technique without compromising the part — a pitfall for traditional mil-spec charging handles.
The small lever configuration provides a low-profile, easily gripped interface that is comfortable when slung and can be actuated effortlessly from either side of your rifle.
