AR-15 Accessories

I'd like to ask for a couple of recommendations for some accessories but feel free to talk about anything AR-15 accessory related as well.

I was looking at getting a sling for my Colt 6920.

I was looking at the Vikings Tactics padded sling and the Magpul MS2.

http://www.amazon.com/Magpul-MS2-Rif.../dp/B002B93MCG

Does anyone have experience with either?

I wanted to also see how it felt to shoot with a vertical grip just for variety. They have a quad rail made by Global Military Gear that is only around 36$ and has good reviews. Is this the kind of item where you get what you pay for or is this a cheap option being that it's not something I'm going to permanently use?

Or would something like this weaver rail set be sturdy enough?

I like the Angle Fore Grip from Magpul. Magpul makes some good accessories. I find vertical grips uncomfortable personally. Also Surefire makes a good sturdy rail but its expensive.

I am also a fan of the angled grip as opposed to the vertical grip. Feels more natural and doesn't get hung up on stuf as much.

I don't go much for adding al ot of weight to my rifle but I like a grip with a storage compartment. If you go vertical grip in the front they have those also. I keep a spare battery for a red dot and bore snake in mine. I know other people will keep spare parts , pins, rings, etc. If you get the rails a good light is also a nice plus.
