Take your time and you get good results

Worked nicely for securing my trigger assembly to my TacSol receiver. Used my hand-held Makita drill and just took it bit by bit, checking as I went with the screw in one side of the threaded pin (hand tight only!). I also used Tap Magic for keeping the drill bit lubed and biting into the aluminum. Definitely a nice upgrade at a good price, and no more sloppy pins to have fall out when disassembling.
Forget Wheeler, this is it.

Fix It Sticks All-In-One Torque Driver Kits
Wheeler makes some cheap entry-level products. This is not that. I wish I would have bought this a few years ago when I first bought the Wheeler torque wrench. I've subsequently trashed my Wheeler wrench b/c it was no longer calibrated and actually stripped a scope cap ring. I love the torque limiter on this, you just need to make sure that the numbers are facing you so you know you are approaching your desired torque value. Definitely recommend and I love that they've included in the convenient carry case lots of common bits for rifles and pistols. Well done Fix It Sticks.
Much better than Magpul's offerings
Written on Jan 25, 2026
I love Magpul products and when it comes to this 10/22 stock this is heads and shoulders above Magpul. The thumb hole grip is much more ergonomic; the grip texture on the stock - in areas where your hands will be - is definitely appreciated. The built-in sling swivels are nice, as well as the snug fit with my 10/22 receiver. If I had to gripe about something it would be that I had to buy a takedown action screw (for $6 dollars); otherwise this thing is pretty awesome. The last thing that makes this a better choice for me is that the price was well below what Magpul wanted for their 10/22 stocks.
One of my favorite stocks available right now

Bravo Company MFG Stock Mod 2 SOPMOD
I have 4 or 5 of these. I have gone out of my way to sell other models just so I can buy this one. If you run an A5/Intermediate buffer tube, this is the stock to get IMO. Great fit on mil-spec tubes, easy adjustments, and love that cheek weld. Pretty light piece too given the features. Highly recommend.
CORRECTION: Does work on Aero M5 platform
Written on Jun 22, 2025
Was able to purchase a longer stud from KAK Industries to make the catch engage fully on this magazine without it falling out. I didn't have the same issue with Magpul SR25 mags and after some tooling around I was able to make this work reliably. Very nice magazine, definitely a step-up from Magpul mags, and so is the price.
Loose fit on Core barrel. 0.625 GB

Badger Ordnance TDX Gas Manifold
OP had this marked down 20% off. Hard to pass up as they are expensive gas blocks. The instructions from the manufacturer state it's to be installed as a 'press fit'. Mine was loose and required no heat or pressing to install on my CBI CORE barrel. Not sure when the change in tolerances occurred, and they are loose. Haven't tried BCM, and others have stated it fits more snug. Otherwise quality part just disappointing on fitment.

Does NOT work with Aero M5 platform
Written on May 29, 2025
At least from what I've tried this will not seat in an Aero Precision M5 lower. I remember reading somewhere on Aero's website that they only recommend Magpul mags. This is a really nice magazine and I can't get it to work with my set-up. Your mileage may vary.

2x more magnification than the 3x and 2x more price for OK quality

Holosun HM6X 6x28mm Magnifier Red Dot Sight
I'm not impressed. The HM3X is pretty good, pretty dang good actually for the price. This is twice as much and not worth it, in my opinion. I tried it behind two different Holosun models and the reticle is smeary (no, I don't have astigmatism). 6x is best left to LPVOs not magnifiers. I will give Holosun a plus for the QD mount and nice finishes. That's all I can really say that's positive about this.

it's decent
Written on Apr 09, 2025
I like the option to add a pic section to the top of a scope mount. The downside is it's only picatinny. It would be awesome if they made rmr footprints, or some other common mounting footprint for red dots. I don't love all the tiny screws it takes to mount 1 red dot to the top (4 in total plus 1 crossbolt). Time to get with the times Warne.
Nice quality = more expensive

LANTAC AR15 Nitride Carbine Length Gas Tube
You'll pay almost twice as much and they look and feel top quality. I had the mid-length version and the finish seems to be more durable than other similarly nitrided gas tube. FWIW.
