I really like this setup, a tiny bit of filing was required to install the sm-4.5 adapter onto my DPMS Anvil AK pistol but well worth the money for a sleeker slimmer design. I usually use Midwest industries 1913 folding beam skeletonized buffer tubes for my AK pistols but this one was the better choice for this specific AK because it came with a factory folding rear trunnion. Jmac customs did their thing on this one!!! Could it be better if it locked folded or had a detent to hold it in the locked position? Yes but even how it is now it’s a solid 4.5 star product. If Jmac adds a detent to hold it in the folded position like Midwest Industries does with theirs it would be a 10 star product in my opinion because I really don’t like when they completely lock in the folded position anyway but that’s just me personally.

This is a really good angled foregrip if you only have two mlok slots to work with. The only con would be on the finish because the black really doesn’t match the black anodizing on most AR-15 type weapons but it still looks good. If the black finish matched better I would’ve gave 5 stars.

If your selling a muzzle brake shims need to be included to time it… it even says the shims are supposed to be included in the description. If the shims were included this would be a 5 star muzzle brake but because they’re not you can’t even install it.

This is the best option if you don’t wanna drill on your Draco but it’s not the best option overall in my opinion. I really only bought this because everything else was out’ve stock during the pistol brace ban & there is slight side to side movement but it won’t come off if you tighten your pistol grip screw down really tight. I use a wooden pistol grip so I don’t tighten it as tight as I’d like for fear of splitting my pistol grip but it still works just fine & I never worry about it coming off. I bought this adapter & the SB folder for my full size Draco & it works good but if I knew then what I know now I would’ve just waited & drilled out my rear receiver like I more recently did with my mini Draco to install a picatinny adapter instead. If this adapter was an exact fit to the receiver it would eliminate the slight side to side movement but really it’s not like you notice it slightly moving anyway & with all that said I would still highly recommend this adapter because I understand not everyone is comfortable drilling on their guns so this adapter works just fine for those people.

The black finish on this castle nut is metallic looking & comes off fairly easy but overall it’s aesthetically pleasing.

I like this magwell because I can still use my G45 backstraps with it. There’s a small gap on the bottom backside that would look better flush if the adapter piece that slides into the frame was more flush but that’s being nit picky overall it’s a nicely overpriced magwell lol.

This is a nice looking slide but I can tell Faxon doesn’t test fit these slides with parts before they send them out because at first I couldn’t even get the plunger or front sight installed but after spinning the plunger a few times in the slide & taking a needle file to the front sight they both finally installed correctly. I bought two of these slides because of bad reviews I read online. I’m glad I did because after some minor work I have one that I’m keeping but I’m sending the other one back because the barrel doesn’t lock into the slide correctly. It sits an 1/8 of an inch too high & even the one I’m keeping had to be broke in because when I tried to pull the slide back it would lock up until I got the barrel & slide mated together AKA broke in. If the slide wasn’t so aesthetically pleasing I probably would’ve sent both back but I like working on guns so it wasn’t a big deal for me personally but it’s worth mentioning for other customers. Overall Faxon needs to do better & I can’t recommend this slide unless you don’t mind ordering more than one & possibly doing some minor work yourself. These slides aren’t cheaply priced & I will be more hesitant buying from Faxon in the future.

This is a solid pistol optic & it looks good on my Steel City Arsenal G34 slide. Just make sure you screw the battery cap all the way in or it will block your emitter causing it to look like your dot disappears at the bottom part of the glass. If it came with more mounting screws that would be nice but it doesn’t so I had to buy their mounting screw pack (sold separately) because the ones that came with the optic didn’t fit any of my slides. I was surprised even with their variety pack of mounting screws (sold separately) I had to cut the ones I needed down because they were too long. Not a huge deal but worth mentioning.

This handguard is nice, install was easy because you use a 1 1/4 inch crows foot wrench on the barrel nut which most DIY people likely already have. Finding a handguard for my 7.5 inch barrel & billet upper combo wasn’t easy but thankfully Breek Arms exist so I’m happy with this purchase & it looks great. I can now install suppressors on this build & if I could upload pictures I would but Optics Planet is always slacking in every way. I took one star off because the handguard top rail isn’t an exact match to most upper receiver top rails on the market but it still looks �.

This slide is nice & the black finish matches my Steel City Arsenal Magwell perfectly. If you want a nice slide without all the cuts exposing the barrel like other aftermarket slides then this is the one for you. Sights installed easily & my Swampfox Justice red dot mounted up very nicely. It comes with removable recoil lugs so be careful not to lose them like I did but thankfully Strike Industries included extras. It also comes with a bunch of different mounting screws for multiple red dots & the cover plate. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase & I highly recommend this G17 Liteslide.
