I ordered this for a Suppressed Weapons System build in 300 Blackout. Because the ATF is as slow as a napping turtle, I’m still waiting before I can really test it, but right out of the box you can appreciate how absolutely superior the DLC coating is. I doubt the gun will ever need lube. In the gun shop where it’s waiting, I can charge this thing all day and it’s smooth as a hot knife through butter. Better than nitride, better than NiB, and better thermal properties, too. Probably perfect for suppressed systems with more gas. Glad I bought it.
Will update when the ATF stops sitting on their hands.

First you should know that Fab ships this with only the grip. No 1/4-28 and no safety detent hardware. That said, for a trip to the hardware store and a spare parts kit, this is a fantastic grip. The angle and the palm swell are great. I also have an Ergo Deluxe on another of my ARs, and a Fab AGF43S on another, but the Ergo is a little fat and the AGF43S is only nice because it folds for a good backpack gun. This is my go-to grip for both my hunting/range AR and my truck gun. The rubberized layer is comfortable and the angle is perfect for trigger control. Love it.

I bought an H2 for my Grendel build. It required gas tuning, but my Seekins adjustable gas block worked great for that. I threw some EWG around it and put it in my buffer tube and it worked like a charm. Not to say I hate a standard buffer setup, but this just feels nicer. A real smooth recoil impulse. No “slap” from the buffer hitting the back of the tube.
Most of the reviews that dislike this are seem to say it wont cycle properly, but that’s a gas/ammo issue. Do your homework for your ammo and get the right weight and an adjustable gas block. You’ll love this if you use it right.

I put this on a 6.5 Grendel build and was pleased. I tuned for cheap Wolf ammo initially and had a fun time with the gun. Then I got ambitious and ordered some 130 grain reloads to see if they would be destructive enough for a deer hunt. With the handguard off, the adjustment took less than 5 minutes to achieve repeatable ejections with the heavier loads. Only an allan wrench is needed.
Took down a 4/4 point whitetail in one shot with the gun this year. The gun’s accuracy and ability to cycle 130 grain rounds is owed to the gas block. It’s very good.

This was great out of the box. I threw it on my RFB and took it to the range. I was instantly impressed by the clarity. I hadn’t used Sig optics before, but they’re set up in Oregon near Leupold and Crimson Trace, so I thought I’d give them a shot. I don’t know if they use US based optics like Leupold, but the clarity was comparable. And MegaView is a real treat. When you look through this optic, none of the scope tube is visible. It seems minor, but it has a big impact.
Zero did not shift after about 60 shots of 168 grain .308 through the RFB, and it hasn’t on any range days since.

A perfect trigger. It has zero creep, a crisp break, a tactile reset, and barely any travel. Plus it’s easily adjustable to your preferred pull weight. I’ve got mine set to just over 3 pounds and it’s a pleasure to shoot. I get great groups shooting my AR in 6.5 Grendel with this. Even took my friend (a first time shooter) to the range and she was able to produce a quarter-sized group at 50 yards. It’s very hard to mess up a trigger pull with this trigger installed.

I used this sling to hunt this year and it was hands down the most adjustable and comfortable sling I’ve used. No shoulder pains, and far easier to go from a tight fit of my gun to my chest to a loose fit allowing me to address targets than a typical 2 point sling.

I use this on my 6.5 Grendel and love it. Not only does it not annoy others at the range, but when I’m hunting I don’t need to worry if my earpro batteries go dead. The report from the gun is reduced such that I’ve never had ringing in my ears after shooting this; though it certainly isn’t anywhere near class III levels of suppression. It makes things more comfortable, though.

I bought this for a folding AR9. It works great and feels decent when gripped right handed, but actually I’m a lefty and the AR is on a Gibbz left handed upper. The release button for the folding lock is right in the crease of my palm; which is annoying.
Right handers will love this, but lefties will have their usual sighs in dealing with a product that was clearly not make with them in mind.

This trigger is a little difficult to install, but once it’s in it runs like a dream. The selector switch is crisp and a little tougher to toggle than on a typical AR trigger group’s, but I like it.
It’s definitely a mushy trigger, though. There isn’t really a “wall” to break when pulling it. It’s got a lot of travel, too, so use it on a gun where you want volume of fire over accuracy. All of that owes to how it operates, though. It’s hard to imagine a binary trigger being as crisp as, say, a Trigger Tech adjustable trigger. Just different design requirements.
