I’ve been really impressed with the MARS Trigger for the Ruger 10/22. I’ve tried several MARS products, and this one is probably my favorite so far because it completely changes the personality of the 10/22. The trigger has a very fast, positive reset and the whole setup makes an already fun .22 much more entertaining to shoot. I also really like that MARS designed this specifically around the 10/22 rather than trying to adapt a system from another platform. Installation was pretty straight forward for me and the adjustable trigger gives you some flexibility to get the feel you prefer. The quality of the parts also seems very good and overall it feels like a well thought out product.
My only real complaint is that the 10/22 itself can be a little picky, so I wouldn’t necessarily judge the MARS system based on every hiccup you might experience with the rifle. Once I got everything working together, I was very happy with the performance. There are a few mixed reviews out there, but my personal experience has been very positive and I would definitly recommend it to someone who already enjoys their 10/22 and wants to try something completely different. It's not exactly a practical upgrade, but thats not really why I bought it, its just a ton of fun.

The Mars Trigger FRT for the Ruger PC9 is probably one of the more interesting upgrades I've come across for the platform. Unlike the AK version, this is designed as a true drop in system, replacing the factory disconnector without requiring a complete trigger swap or gunsmithing, which makes the installation process much more straightforward. Once installed, the reset is extremely quick and positive, and it completely changes the personality of the PC9. The trigger feels much more responsive and the reset is very noticeable, especially when shooting at a faster pace. I also like that MARS kept the system relatively simple instead of trying to redesign the entire Ruger trigger group.

My biggest hesitation would be long term durability. There have been some reports from early users of the reset bar breaking after relatively low round counts, although MARS has reportedly been sending out an upgraded, thicker replacement part to affected customers. That's something I'd like to see more data on before calling the system completely proven. Aside from that, I think this is a really cool upgrade for the PC9 and probably one of the easiest ways to make the rifle feel completely different. If you already enjoy the Ruger platform and want something that makes it a lot more fun to shoot, the MARS PC9 FRT is definitly worth a look, I'd just keep an eye on that reset bar as more long term reviews start coming in.

The MarsTrigger V2 AK47 FRT Kit is a really interesting upgrade for anyone looking to get a different shooting experience out of their AK. Compared to the original MARS design, the V2 feels like a much more refined system, particularly with the spring loaded reset that gives the trigger a much more positive and consistent feel. The biggest thing to understand though is that this is not an AR style drop in trigger. AK's can vary quite a bit in their dimensions and tolerances, so fitment can be a little more involved depending on the rifle you're installing it in. That isnt necessarily a knock against MARS, it's just something you need to be aware of going in. Once properly fitted, the V2 has the potential to be a very impressive system and the reset is noticeably different from a conventional AK trigger.
Overall, I think MARS did a good job addressing some of the shortcomings of the original design with the V2. The build quality feels solid, the spring loaded system is a worthwhile improvement, and it gives the AK a very unique trigger feel that you just don't get from a standard aftermarket trigger. Installation and fitment are really the only areas I'd consider a potential drawback, especially if you're expecting something you can simply drop in and forget about. For someone who is comfortable working on AK's, or who has a competent gunsmith handle the install, I'd say the MARS V2 is a very interesting option and one I'd definitly recommend checking out if you're looking fo

I like this jacket a lot. It runs a little big, but I actually prefer that since it leaves room to layer underneath in colder weather. I'm 6ft, 250lbs, and went with the 3XL, which fits great. The material and stitching both feel high quality, and I love that it comes in FDE to match most of my gun collection. My favorite feature is the built-in carry bag with strap. The whole jacket folds up into itself, making it super easy to store and take with you wherever you go.

Skeptical at first because other TRYBE Tactical apparel I've bought in the past ran a little small, and I'm a bigger guy (6ft, 250lbs). The 2XL of this fleece fit me perfectly, not too snug and not too loose. The material is super comfortable and gives just the right amount of warmth for a fall/spring jacket. Stitching and material feel like good quality, and I don't expect them to wear out anytime soon. Very pleased with this fleece, especially at this price point. I'd buy it again without hesitation.

After spending time with both the original Disruptor and now the new ambidextrous version, I can confidently say this is the model I would recommend to most shooters. While the internals remain the same as the standard Disruptor, the addition of an ambidextrous safety selector addresses one of the biggest ergonomic complaints of the original design. I dropped this trigger into a 10.3 AR pistol that had a few different variables compared to the rilfe i tested the standard Disruptor in including a Sylvan Arms folding stock/brace adaptor on the pistol.

Installation was straightforward thanks to the cassette-style drop-in design. If you're already comfortable assembling an AR-15 lower, getting everything installed is a quick process. As with any forced-reset system, making sure your rifle is configured correctly (Full Auto BCG, H3 or heavier buffer, etc.) is important for reliable operation.

On the range, the trigger delivered exactly what it's designed to do. Once you learn the cadence and maintain consistent pressure on the trigger, follow-up shots come extremely quickly while remaining controllable. In my testing, the reset was positive and consistent, allowing me to run multiple magazines without any reliability issues.

The ambidextrous selector is a worthwhile upgrade even for right-handed shooters. Whether you're practicing support-side shooting, shooting around barricades, or simply prefer ambidextrous controls, having the selector accessible from either side makes the

After finally getting some range time with the Disruptor Forced Reset Trigger from The Triggered Company, I wanted to share my experience.
Test platform was my M16A2 clone rifle, and over the course of 6 full magazines the trigger ran 100% with zero malfunctions.
Installation and setup were straightforward in my rifle and function testing translated well to live fire. Once on the range, the reset felt positive and consistent, and the trigger delivered exactly what I was hoping for—fast follow-up shots while still maintaining a controllable shooting rhythm.
What stood out most was reliability. No failures to reset, no light strikes, no unexpected stoppages, and no weird timing issues across the entire session. The rifle cycled cleanly and the trigger kept up without needing any adjustment.
The learning curve was shorter than I expected. After a couple magazines I found the rhythm and everything started feeling natural.
For anyone considering the Disruptor, my early impression is that it delivered on what it’s designed to do in my setup: reliable operation, quick reset, and a lot of range fun.
Current result: 6 magazines, 0 malfunctions, flawless function in my M16A2 clone.

I finally got a chance to put the Atrius Development Group ambidextrous forced reset selector through a real range session and wanted to share my results.
Test setup was a Sons of Liberty Gun Works 13.9” P&W rifle paired with a Rise Armament RA-535 trigger and an H3 buffer. Over the course of 6 full magazines, the setup ran flawlessly with zero malfunctions.
One thing that stood out during testing was how well this particular combination worked right out of the gate. I’ve seen reports of some setups requiring additional tuning, buffer changes, spring adjustments, or other experimentation depending on the rifle configuration, but in my case none of that was necessary. This configuration functioned reliably as installed. During live fire the reset felt consistent and predictable, and once I settled into the cadence the system stayed smooth throughout the session. No failures to reset, no stoppages, and no reliability issues during the test.
Obviously this is just one rifle and one configuration, but based on my experience so far, the SOLGW 13.9 P&W + RA-535 + H3 buffer combination proved to be an excellent match for the Atrius ambidextrous selector.

Current results: 6 magazines fired, 0 malfunctions, no additional modifications required

As a someone who has been behind the lens of dozens of thermal units, from premium Europeans to sub-$1k imports—the ATN BlazeSeeker 210 remains one of the sharpest entry-level thermal monoculars available around $500-600. It packs a 256x192 @ 12μm sensor with a <35mK NETD rating and smooth 50 Hz refresh, delivering clean, low-noise detection well past 400 yards on hogs or deer in thick cover, even if it's not quite the sub-20mK edge some pricier models claim. The base 1.7x magnification gives a wider field of view than many 1x starters, making quick scans easier, while digital zoom to 13.6x holds usable detail up to about 6-8x before noise becomes noticeable.
Build is lightweight (around 0.6-0.7 lb) and IP67 tough, with solid button feel, focus-free lens, and reliable 7-8 hour battery life that survives cold nights. The ATN app integration shines here too—easy Wi-Fi streaming, recording to onboard storage, and that handy AI helper for on-the-fly settings. No rangefinder or onboard ballistic solver, and the eyecup isn't the plushest for marathon sessions, but for a compact, sensitive pocket thermal under $600, it outperforms most direct competitors in this bracket. Solid 4.5/5—still my go-to rec for anyone breaking into thermal without emptying the wallet.

The Winchester Supreme Optics 20–60x80mm spotting scope is the kind of gear that just works, which is exactly what most hunters are looking for. The 80mm objective lens lets in a lot of light, so the picture stays bright and usable during those low-light times at dawn and dusk when animals are actually moving. The 20–60x magnification range is practical in the field—you can keep it dialed down to glass large areas, then bump it up when you need a closer look at antlers, impacts, or terrain. The glass is clear enough to make details easy to pick out, and the rubber-armored body feels sturdy and ready for real use, not just sitting on a bench. The angled eyepiece also helps reduce neck strain during long sessions behind the scope. If there’s one area for improvement, it’s that image clarity softens a bit at the highest magnification, but that’s a common tradeoff in this price range and doesn’t take away from the overall value for a working hunter.
