Great design. Fit like a glove into a PSA GF5-E receiver to open up tons of new stock options.

This is a standard mil-spec buffer tube at a reasonable price for any build level. Finish is exactly the same as competitors, as is fit. Does the job as good as any. Has no unnecessary markings or engravings.

This addition is rock solid and super tight, no wobble, looks great. However, the cheek height, even at its minimum is too high for an AR with a scope ring height in the typical range of 1.5-1.7". This is perfect for an AK.

These rails are impeccably machined, very precise with crisp and intricate detail. The scalloped rail sections are a very nice touch and the length options are wide. I have purchased each length and they are all excellent final products. The profile is among the smallest of quad rail designs in terms of actual height, so they are quite svelte compared to a lot of traditional quad rail options out there while still providing expected room for gas block, etc., but you may need to do your research if you plan on a suppressor going inside the rail. They are actually the smallest quad rails I have found. The mounting system is very secure in my experience. The finish is superior to most, very professional and HERA ARMS markings are also very tight and unobtrusive. True, the QD points are basically useless for most QD connectors since they are within the scalloped rail keys, so I'm not sure why they're even there...but aluminum QD mounts in handguards generally don't hold up very well over time anyway, so you be the judge of what you need. Regardless, HERA has succeeded in making the blocky-ness of the quad rail concept into a more modern and slick, yet still very useful design.

Don't bother with this adjustable gas block. It fouls far too easily and cleaning it is bear with the potential to easily ruin the entire gas block. Sure, you can buy Odin repair kits for $20, but then how far into ($$$) this piece of junk do you need to go? When the adjustment screw is fully removed, there is a side spring and ball that provide the notched "click" settings against the screw's profile when inserted. This spring is tiny and will easily come out and fall into the darkest corner of the screw hole where you can't see with the best of lighting. When reassembling, you're likely to not know that it has fallen out, only to have the adjustment screw damage the spring beyond repair upon reassembly. This is a terrible design that is beat hands down by SA adjustable gas blocks. They should honestly just give up and stop making this piece of junk, let alone charge $100+ for trash. I expected more from the Odin name, but I'm done with them now. It's all over-priced junk marketed as high-end.

The design is crisp and intelligent, but unfortunately doesn't give the user much ability to adapt or change. Some folks complain about the "plastic-y" feel of the CQR products, and they are plastic, but they are metal where it counts such as in the butt stock. The installation is somewhat involved and a touch tricky, so this is not a quick-change-out stock. The angle of the grip is also more like a standard A2 grip. The QD options are in useful positions. The length of pull can only be changed by purchasing separate extension parts, but is simple enough to change...just not as easy as the typical adjustable AR stock. For me personally, the grip places my hand in a spot that I don't like because it interferes easily with an ambi-safety on the right side in the firing position. Four stars for how cool it looks and the precision with which it's made, but I'd give it 3 stars for actual utility. There are worse stocks out there which are fully adjustable too. The price reflects what it takes to manufacture this piece, but doesn't reflect its actual usefulness. This might actually be a better option for people with smaller hands such as women or teens.

I highly recommend these to ease the frustration of any AR platform rifle. Whatever magic that they put into these things makes them slide like melting butter resulting in nearly zero effort to get your AR apart. All that and still doing their basic job of keeping everything secure. These are one of those products that is a tad pricey for a good reason.

Bar none, this little handle is ideal and a vast improvement over its competitors. The storage is a bonus, but the shape and angle of the grip is frankly perfect and improves every aspect of weapon handling from shooting to carrying. The texture is just enough...not too harsh and not too smooth. The only drawback was the tendency for the molding process to leave sharp burrs around the front edge of the textured area that can puncture your skin (where your index finger would be), but these can be quickly shaved off with a hobby knife.

These perfectly formed plastic dummies are great for double-checking proper function and testing adjustments on 80% handgun builds. If ever they get stuck in a barrel, they are easy to remove and they stand up to some punishment without losing their utility. Another great Strike Industries product.

These dummy rounds are perfect for testing your custom pistol builds for fit and function. They're durable, obvious, and aren't ever irreparably jammed into the chamber (the provided key ring is of little use). I suppose if you wanted to test flat nose/hollow point rounds for fit, these could also be easily modified with a Dremel.
