Just like the title says, if you could imagine a MDT CkyePod, Atlas CAL, and Harris Bipod having a baby with all the best features of each, then this would be that bipod. The quick pros of this bipod are that it is made in the USA and all metal construction. The bipod comes setup where the legs will quick deploy like a Harris from 0 to 90 degress with just a tap of the hand. If you want stops at 0, 45, and 90 degress, you only have to mount the bipod with the cant adjustment knob facing away from you. You can also take the top section apart and flip the leg orientation internally, but that is a waste of time and flipping the bipod around is so much easier and useful since the cant adjustment knob can easily be rotated out of the way and is made out of aluminum instead of cheap plastic like other bipods. Speaking of cant, the cant adjustment knob is easily manipulated with a single hand and the bipod holds the tension through multiple deployments like a Atlas CAL (the knob is superior to the Atlas CAL's IMO). Lastly, the legs are geared together internally at the top, so you can hit one button and deploy the legs narrow, medium, or wide. This is a great feature because the wider stance is inherently more stable and lower so if you are shooting off a bench, it is terrific. If you need it tall, you can hit the button and bring the legs in to the narrow stance and pull the legs out and your all set (leg height is quick deploy by just pulling on them). Adjustment to heigh

The Daniel Defense stock looks cool, but like most carbine stocks, it leaves a lot to be desired for precision shooting when it is too short for your length of pull and cheek weld. The Magpul PRS Lite stock slipped right on the standard mil-spec carbine buffer tube and the installation was easy with the single cross bolt. After torqueing the bolt to 20 inch lbs, the stock felt very secure and did not budge even after slamming it into the carpet. The installation took less than 5 minutes.

The stock is a little on the long side which was great for my long monkey arms and I was able to adjust it to my 14.5 inch length of pull accordingly. If you are on the shorter side with a smaller length of pull, this stock will likely be too long for you. The cheek riser was very easy to adjust with a ball end allen wrench. Once I adjusted the length of pull and cheek riser height to my specs and torqued the adjustment screws down to 20 inch lbs, the stock was rock solid and I'm pretty confident that nothing will budge by accident. Adjusting the cheek riser height took several tries to dial in the perfect height for prone and standing supported shooting positions and probably took me about 10 minutes of going back and forth with the allen wrench.

So the pros are that this stock best fits shooters with long length of pulls who want proper cheek welds with scoped rifles for precision shooting. The adjustments are one and done and very secure once everything is torqued properly. The

For such a tiny hunk of metal this thing certainly fills it's role very nicely. I had no problems mounting a Sig Romeo 4 to the mount and then mounting the ring to my trusty Steiner T5xi 3-15x scope that was already mounted on my Steiner T-series 1.54 25 MOA mount so I could have a 12 o'clock red dot set up for more quickly getting on target. The mount did not come with instructions, but some basic common sense told me that 20 inch pounds for mounting the red dot to the Larue mount and then 25 inch pounds for the Larue mount to the scope with blue loctite on all screws would be just about right. The dot and mount are rock solid and the height over bore is low enough that I can get on target really quickly with just a chin weld. I highly recommend this mount for anyone looking to add a Aimpoint T1 style dot to their existing scoped rifle setup.

Compared to my previous Safariland 6390 holster, this new one has the optic hood that belongs on the 6360 model. This optic hood does not easily disengage when drawing and must be pushed forward like on the 6360. This does not give added protection like the SLS plus optic hood on the 6360; instead, it only slows down the draw on the 6390 and adds a level of complication that would not exist if Safariland installed the proper optic hood. So I filed down the nubs on the optic hood and cut some clearance in to the holes in the holster the optic hood latches onto when closed so that the hood opens smoothly after the ALS is disengaged and the pistol is being drawn from the holster like the proper optic hood would have done. It took me about 10 minutes of trial and error with a small file and razor blade to get the resistance just right. So I basically voided the warranty on the first day, but now I have a holster that fits my expectations.

Lastly, the holster appears to be cut slightly too high on the grip and I am not able to get a full firing grip without the holster digging into and cutting up the side of my middle finger. I dry fire practice often and this holster is less comfortable and fast compared to my older 6390. I will have to cut and file the holster to make clearance for my full grip so my draw is more firm, fast, and unimpeded.

While I trust my Safariland holsters, I feel like Safariland let the QC slip on this one and it is the tiny stuff and extra QC that y
