I needed this riser to achieve a good cheek weld for an lpvo mounted on my AK with the Zhukov stock. I was considering going with an AR tube adapter and an AR stock with cheek riser but I like the Zhukov and decided to give this a try. Although it just clips on, it is quite tight and I wouldn't worry about it falling off.

I've been very happy with this mount. The locking QD lever is solid and cannot be unintentionally released. The T1/T2 footprint was machined to spec and worked with multiple optics. MI even includes screws to mount the Primary Arms microdots. I've found that the screws included with my other optics, which included a Sig Romeo 4T and Holosun 515CM, worked with the mount. The MI mount seems more solid than the RS mounts but I believe it also weighs a little more. The Gen 2 mounts can also be centered over the bore by sliding the upper and lower portions relative to one another. Once I got the upper aligned, I used blue loctite to secure the screws that hold the upper and lower together. I have had no issues with the mount holding zero, though I have no subjected it to drops, etc. I have used this mount on a PSA GFE and a PSA AK104. If you plan to use the MI mounts on a PSA AK you will need to file some material from the lower mount to accommodate the rear rivet that holds the side optics mount on PSA AK's. It seems PSA's rivet sticks out higher than others. I did this with some simple hand files and then re-anodized it with Birchwood-Casey Aluminum Black.

I have been very pleased with the Mount. The QD system work great and it is easy to get mounted.I also have the one with the full picatinny rail and this one is a little lighter and allows you to Mount your dot lower. Depending on your optic, you may or may not be able to see your irons through the tube. I have it mounted on a PSA GF3.

I purchased the Aero Precision Rifle buffer tube and paired it with an Aero AR15 rifle buffer and a Springco green buffer spring. The finish on the buffer tube is great. It threaded flawlessly into an Aero M4E1 lower receiver. The rifle has functioned flawlessly. I have mounted the Magpul PRS stock and the FAB Defense Raps stock successfully. The buffer tube also has threaded hole in the rear to accept an A2 stock screw.

This is the standard buffer weight for the VLTOR A5 buffer system. It weighs the same as a rifle buffer and works great for most setups. Since this is the standard buffer for the A5 system, it is often harder to find in comparison to other buffer weight options.

This sling looks and function great. It is very easy to adjust and is very comfortable. Not much more to say. It is made out of high quality material and I expect it to last a long time. I have used several slings and this is my favorite.

This handguard does what it needs to. The QD sling attachment points worked with Magpul QD swivels. The finish on my black anodized version was excellent. Overall, it a sharp looking rail. I like that it does not have the tab on the bottom that clamping rails require. The barrel nut does require timing but it has a slot every 72 degrees which is somewhat forgiving.

This handguard is excellent. The mounting hardware is very solid. Aero makes quality products and this handguard is no exception. The barrel nut is steel and easy to install. It needs to be timed slightly for the gas tube but it has many slots and is easy. The cutout top rail makes the handguard light and very comfortable. The only con I could think would be the lack of m-lok slots on the top, 45 and 135 gegree positions.

I'm very impressed with this BCG it weighed about 8.5 oz on my scale. The nitride finish looks great, no blemishes. This BCG also completely covers the ejection port door. Many lightweight BCG designs contain skeletonizations that could easily allow debris into the action. Not this one.

I really like the way this foregrip feels. It holds your hand at a comfortable angle and the shelf for your index finger is nice. This grips matches magpul fde very well. The additional storage is also an advantage over other angled fore grips.
