This winter all of my AR's when through a metamorphasis, as I'm constantly figuring out what works best for me.
Something that I did on all my guns is I moved the vertical foregrip further forward, I find that this helps me "drive" the gun better. Some guys advocate moving it further foward than what I have it, but I'm some what short in stature and still need to have access to the Surefire. I have the Surefire moved as far forward as it will go. I am liking the vertical foregrip in it's current location, works well for me.
Another item that I changed was, on all of my M4 carbines, I went back to 14.5" barrels. I have been from 14.5" barrels on all my M4's to 16" barrels, and now back to 14.5" barrels.
I have found that over the years I prefer M4's with a 14.5" barrel and a TA31 and I prefer mid-lengths with the TA11 (when using an ACOG). The guns balance much better. I prefer the TA11 over the TA31 due to the more generous eye relief, I am much quicker with the TA11 than I am with the TA31. But a TA11 on a M4 just doesn't "feel" right.
I have also found that I prefer the Vltor stock on a M4 and the Magpul M93B on a Mid-Length. There is something to be said for comfort, "feel", and balance.
