The Strike Industries Dual Folding brace is a great assitant for any gun with a 1913 adapter. But the brace is sparse and skeltonized by design, which leaves a shooter wanting more of a cheek weld, if / when needed. To answer that problem, Strike Industries made the Add-On Cheek Riser. Its small plastic body adds very little weight. It is very durable and well made. The 2 points of contact and handy thumb screws allow the shooter to easily adjust the risers angle and height. It can be places totally flat for minimal rise, or raised up about an inch to 1 1/2". This does not sound like much, but is adequate enough for most sighting systems. Placing it at an angle gives even more comfort and control, and sighting stability. The riser can quickly be removed for storage & transport in just a minutes time. It looks good and works even better.
Con: Depending on the gun used, the riser may interfere with charging handles or other controls on the gun, when the brace is folded or straight! Ie. A rear charging AR-15, may have problems with the charging handle hitting the cheek riser!
You can occasionally pick one up, when they go on sale, and I highly recommend you do. If you have went to the expense of installing the Dual Folding Brace, this little add-on Completes the package. you will not be disappointed you bought it!

This AR Receiver vise block tool is used for aligning and clocking the buffer tube to the 6 o'clock position, perfectly every time! It is easy to use, and works. The block is well machined from aluminum block, with rounded corners and a nice anodized blue finish. There is a NcStar video, online that explains how to use the tool. It isn't necessarily a "Must Have tool", but makes this part of an AR build, that much easier and simple. I would have given it 5 stars, but the thumb screws that come with it, aren't that great, and have a gritty feel. They work, but can (and should) be upgraded! There is another video on YouTube, that explains what size and where to purchase better machined thumb screws, and grip screw. All in all, YES, I recommend buying it if you have ever installed an AR Buffer tube that has twisted on you.

The Odin Works, Extended - Gen II, magazine release, in FDE look good. Great finish, Muted tan / brown "FDE" color. Nice extended length that allows for easy operation, on the AR15 lower. It looks good ,and works great. A small bit of trouble to install, but is not that difficult. I recommend as an easy, and colorful upgrade to your favorite guns!

The Real Avid, AR15 Pivot Pin Tool, is a real game changer, when building, upgrading or repairing your AR. No more do you have to worry about installing the pesky little spring and pivot pin. If you blink, breath, or sneeze, that spring goes shooting across the room. 3 days later, you step on it and ruin it! This handy little tool, takes all those fears away! in 3 moves your pin is installed. It is so easy, you will want to remove it, and do it again, just to play with it more! If you have large hands, and have trouble with these small parts, I highly recommend it. It is SO EASY TO USE! The tools are made of a very durable plastic material, which won't rust. The parts are bright and easy to see on the work table. My only regret, is that it does not come with some sort of storage case, or box to keep the 3 pieces all together. I just put mine in a small ziplock bag, and keep it in my AR tools bag.
