great accessory
Written on Apr 22, 2026
Minimalist approach to a handguard accessory. Perfect for assisting your grip when placed in the best location, which of course would depend on individual preference. I especially like and prefer the rubber padding vice other more polymer styles items. If this is your style, then highly recommended.
OK bipod for its design

Review for
MDT Oryx Bipod w/ M-LOK Attachment
Conditional “yes” recommendation. System does not have a way to do half stars, my real rating is between 3 and 4. Nothing significantly wrong with the bipod. It just didn’t work for me. Like similar polymer bipods, found the act of trying to fold the legs to not be intuitive. You had to really pull down hard first then fold. Am older with some arthritis in one hand. So it wasn’t a comfortable experience. Bipod is relatively light weight. Earth tone color matched my AR nicely. I returned more out of personal preference and will replace with a higher end bipod.
good ergonomics

Have this grip on a CA compliant AK. Much more comfortable than using alternatives such as fin grips. Only issue is the grip is a little small if you have large hands (I’m 6’3” with long fingers). Not detrimental but not worth deducting a star in the review since it’s a me issue. Recommend you give it a try. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Magpul Industries B.A.D. Lever
Love the B.A.D lever! So much easier to close the bolt without significant movement of your firing hand. Have on several AR15s and a simple, couple of minutes install. I highly recommend if you like the concept.

Review for
Unity Tactical FAST FTC 4X Magnifier
Friend has one and I was impressed with optics and how it center folds. Purchased for a new AR build and have high hopes. The “conditional” part of my recommendation comes from just unboxing the magnifier. A small spring on the arm holding the optic popped off. Was lucky to find it. Now, just hope I put it back in the correct way. Will update review after install and use.

Daniel Defense Picatinny Rail Panel Set
Saw these on a rifle at a gun store. Had to have them and luckily Optics Planet carried them. Provides a soft, heat resistant rail cover as opposed to hard plastic ones. Much more comfortable for the hands and “grippy”. I’m going to buy more for future builds. Highly recommend.
best hearing protection

Review for
Sordin Supreme PRO-X LED Headset
I have been trying various hearing protection and finally found it with the Sordin. Worth every penny. Best mix of hearing protection and comfort I’ve tried to date. The gel ear cups provide an excellent seal and are extremely comfortable. Highly recommended.
great grip

Have these on my Sig 220. Love Hogue products and this does not disappoint. Perfect size given I have long fingers. Helps to diminish felt recoil although probably a subjective opinion given my hands are a little recoil sensitive. Highly recommend

Review for
Burn Proof Gear Blast Device Cover
Love this cover. Keeps my really hot blast deflector from scorching me if I inadvertently bump into it. Aesthetically it looks nice with several color/camo choices. Have two of these so far. Really recommend these. Note, they are not sized or marketed for silencers unless it’s within the products size limits.

Review for
Burn Proof Gear Blast Device Cover
Love these covers. Have two already and used to cover Surefire Wardens (blast deflector) which get very hot. Fit is a little loose although probably my fault for not trying to adjust the surrounding lacing. Highly recommended
