Chris Ralles from United States, CA Public Profile

I purchased this barrel and a comp in 2018 from Optics Planet. Sent it to TacSol to have the comp pinned to be CA compliant. TacSol sent the barrel to me and I installed it on my buckmark UDX.
It ran fine for about two magazines, then, double feeds and stovepipe ejection issues. Tried different ammo and nothing made it better. I sent it back to Tac Sol and was told it worked fine.
To note, the gun runs perfect with stock barrel, no matter what ammo I use.
They sent it back to me and I installed it one more time. Again, double feed and stovepipe ejection problems right away. I removed it and installed the stock barrel and the gun again, ran perfectly. Fast forward to 2026. Started shooting Steel Challenge Competition. I thought I would try the barrel one more time. Well, Same problems. I’m done with this TacSol barrel. I must have received a bad one, I don’t know. Maybe my gun is the issue, but, it runs perfect with stock barrel.
Because TacSol pinned the comp to the barrel, Optics Planet would not accept it as a defective return.

I have purchased and installed 3 of these handguards on 3 of my AR's. They are very well made. The finish is durable. They are light, and mount securely.

I got this case for my Browning Buckmark with a 7 inch barrel. It fits perfectly and keeps my gun protected from getting dinged or scratched. Optics Planet had it at a great price and shipping was free. I recommend this to any Buckmrk owner.

I purchased this press for the main purpose of de-priming brass. It is perfect for that purpose as it is low cost, small and easy to store. I mounted it to a 10 in long 2 x 4 and use C clamps to secure it to my bench for de- priming. Used with the Lee Universal De-priming die, it is a winning combination.

I have 2 of these for my two AR15 rifles. I bought the first one two years ago. The second one was received today. The first one seems to work flawlessly. The second does not lock as positive onto the rail as the first i received. The locking cam on the second does not lock all the way forward. Emails with Kinetic have not been resolved as of yet. It does hold, but confidence that my scope will not fall off is not high. Time will tell.

I bought this bench for backyard plinking. It is well worth the money. I got an incredible price from Optics Planet. Free shipping. I am 192 lbs and is holds very steady while shooting. A little on the heavy side, but not enough to be a problem. I can break if down into a carry bag and take it to the desert. Very well made and will last for many many years.

I bought this mount for a Gamo Swarm Magnum 22 cal pellet rifle. I mounted a UTG scope on it and I am very happy with my purchase. It holds on to the dove tail mount very well. Holds a zero excellently. I would recommend this mount to anyone looking for a budget scope mount. Optics planet offered the best price and no shipping or tax to CA.

I purchased these rings for my Crosman Quest 1000 airgun. They are very well made and held my scope securely on the UTG Dovetail to Weaver adaptor. I recommend these to the budget minded person looking for a good set of rings at a low price. Optics Planet offers the best pricing and fast shipping.

I have purchased 2 sets of these for my Sig 226 and Glock 19. They are absolutely the best night sights I have used. Extremely fast acquisition. The set I purchased for my Springfield TRP did not fit the front Novak cut, so I had to return them. I spoke to a rep at Trijicon, and they expect to be making these for the Springfield 1911 in the next 10 -12 months. I will definitely buy them from Optics Planet when they are released.

I purchased these Trijicon HD sights for my Gen 3 Glock 19 last year. I have had a lot of range time with them now. I highly recommend them. I chose the orange front sight. It lights up nicely and acquiring target is quick.
I had a local gunsmith install them. The only issue he said about them, was that the front sight did not sit tight in the mounting hole on the slide. But, with a little blue loctite around it, it has not moved at all. He adjusted the rear sight with a laser and the gun shoots extremely accurate.
As always, Optics Planet had them on sale and I used a 10% off coupon, making it a great purchase. Shipping was very fast.
