The Top 5 Most Customizable Guns
The market produces so many customizable guns to give firearm enthusiasts more to think about. Some changes not only enhance a gun's functionality but also gives it a badass look compared to how it came out of the box. If you’re fond of accessorizing your firearm, then go ahead and do so to your heart's content. Feel free to customize your own handgun or any firearm as you desire! Just keep in mind that because there is an accessory for a gun, it doesn't mean you have to bolt it on. I prefer just having upgraded iron sights or an EOTech and a light on an AR-15. These customizable guns are known for having numerous aftermarket and replaceable parts like triggers, sights, stocks, you name it!

There are more people in the aftermarket 1911 gun parts industry than any other gun, including the AR-15. It is also one of the first guns to ever be customized with high night sights, beavertail grip safety, and forward cocking serrations.

Good list, and no argument. I do have to say that while working in Iraq as a private security contractor, I saw a lot of really nice AK customization work. A lot of the South African guys used AKs and they did a lot of work to customize everything from stocks to rails to sights and internal components so it should get an honorable mention.
