Gold AR-15 Parts: A Custom Option for Today’s Builders
The AR-15 is one of the most popular rifles in the US and the rest of the world. It is used by the US military and law enforcement agencies across the globe. The AR platform is also quite prolific in the US civilian market. Though its reliability, versatility, and performance are major selling factors, many civilians choose the AR platform because of its incredible aftermarket support.
Many incredible manufacturers in the US make innovative, high-quality AR parts and accessories. Many of these parts are designed to improve the performance of your rifle. However, there is a significant focus on aesthetics as well.
Nowadays, you can find almost any AR part in any finish you want. Though most people opt for tactical finishes like FDE, OD green, or gunmetal gray, several other aesthetic options exist. For instance, many people like to use gold AR parts on their AR platform rifles and carbines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which AR parts can you get in a gold finish?
In theory, you can get almost any part of an AR in a gold finish; however, most people who use ARs prefer gold accents rather than a completely gold rifle. You can find AR controls like the magazine release, safety selector, and bolt release in a gold finish.
Bolt carrier groups also come in a gold finish, and many shooters like to use them on their competition guns. You can also get gold triggers, compensators, and charging handles.
Do gold AR parts have any tactical advantages?
From a tactical aspect, a gold finish won't make much of a difference in your AR’s performance; however, gold accents will definitely make your rifle stand out. Gold parts look good on black rifles, giving them a high-end look. So, if you want people to notice your gun and appreciate its aesthetics, gold AR-15 parts are an excellent option.
Which AR parts wear out the fastest?
The fastest part to wear out in your AR rifle will be the bolt. But, small parts like your firing pin, extractor, and gas tube can also be susceptible to wear and tear.
But, if you pay close attention to your rifle’s performance and follow your manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance (and, eventually, replacement), you should get ample time out of all of your AR components.
Why replace stock AR parts with aftermarket parts?
Today, aftermarket parts can offer improved performance, better longevity, and enhanced durability compared to stock parts. But, in addition to functional motivations, some builders replace their stock AR parts with aftermarket pieces to customize their rifle’s aesthetics.
Which tools do I need to build a custom AR-15?

- Vise grips
