Well made, nice addition except for one flaw

Review for
BLK LBL Hellion/VHS-2 Handguard
The fit on this rail is nice and snug. Finish and quality is very nice. Much better for attaching things than the stock rail and the feel while gripping is much more comfortable.
The only flaw in the design for me is it blocks the gas adjustment knob. The adjustable gas block is a tool less design but this rail blocks the adjustment knob so you can’t depress and turn it by hand. It requires a tool be pried against the rail to depress it and you still have little room to turn it. Also, that same “bridge” that blocks gas adjustment knob is basically useless without buying one of their extra picatinny rails. Not sure why that isn’t included or built in.
Installation note: if you’re like me and have a wider muzzle device, you’ll have feed it through the end of the rail. I have a HuxWrx QD flash hider and barely fits through the rail.

Looks and feels good but I don’t like the 1913 hinge mechanism
Written on Jan 25, 2026
I got this because I have one of their older versions (from when they were “A3 Tactical”) on my Stribog and I liked the way it locked in the folded position. Sadly, this new version does not lock in the folded position, it just swings open which makes it pointless to attach a sling to it.
Also, the way the 1913 hinge attaches is a poor design in my opinion. Instead of a clamping design with a lug/crossbolt, you fill a 1913 slot with a tiny steel piece, slide the mount over the 1913 rail and tighten two tiny set screws (2mm hex) which pulls the mount away from the rail. My problem with this is the entire engagement relies on two tiny set screws for both vertical and horizontal forces. If you have to mortar your gun to clear a malfunction, you’re essentially hammering on the set screws and their tiny bit of thread engagement.
I still like the aesthetics, it works and is modular but I wouldn’t recommend it for serious use

Well made, mostly well designed
Written on Jan 08, 2025
I really like stock and the ability to fold it. The machining is well done and the materials are high quality. Looks nice on my AK as well.
My biggest complaint is some of their design decisions. For one: the folding mechanism sits kind of low so my hand makes contact with the hinge barrel during use. Second: there'e only a single screw that holds the folding mechanism to the picatinny adapter and there's only one screw holding the stock to the folding mechanism. While the whole setup feels pretty solid, the single screws don't inspire a whole lot of confidence. I haven't had any problems but I have a hard time seeing it holding tight over extended, rugged use.

More red than expected for Coco Bolo but still looks and feels great.
Written on Jan 04, 2025
I was expecting a dark walnut color similar to the picture but mine was more red than brown. I understand not all trees grow the same, so not really Hogue's fault. That being said the grips still look good on my S&W 586. The grips are far more ergonomic than the factory grips and some other grips I've tried. Fit and finish is excellent and installation (and uninstallation) is a breeze.

Excellent dot, great price

Swampfox Liberty II 1x24mm Reflex Sight
I have a couple of these Liberty II’s and so far they’ve held up great. Dot is nice and crisp, and plenty bright for being out in the sun (something other affordable dots don’t do). The 7075 aluminum housing is pretty beefed up but not to the point where it obscures your view. I also really like that there are no white painted logos or anything.
My only complaint is the deck height is a little thick. Isn’t a problem on my FN545 Tactical but the “suppressor height sights” that came with my CZ P-10 are not quite tall enough.

Excellent quality and features, especially for the price

UTG Pro ACCU-SYNC QR Cantilever Mount
This is my 2nd one of these. My go-to quick release cantilever mount. Mount feels rugged and durable, is relatively lightweight and has returned to zero every time for me on both of my rifles. They did a nice job rounding all the edges and locking levers are well designed. These also come in at an affordable price. Great job UTG!

Pitiful design, doesn't work without modification on Hungarian AK63DS
Written on Nov 30, 2023
This item is poorly designed. To start, it's a very tight "fit" that requires a nylon mallet to beat it on with. Once it's on - which it will certainly scratched the finish on your stock putting it on - the screw holes don't have enough clearance, meaning the underside of the underfolder arm prevents the screws from making it trough. So then I milled out some material from the inside of the mount so it would sit low enough and give the screws clearance. Once I did that, the screws were too short to even reach the other side. A thread or two bite in then strip out because the screw head bottoms out before they can get a good bite into the threading. Took a pair of vice grips to squeeze the 2 sides closer together so the screws could get a bite into the t-nut on the other side. FINALLY it's installed, but wait... I go to fold the stock and the t-nut protruding from the mount scratches my receiver and the center support rivet. Last but not least, the cheek rest is made of aluminum so if it's cold outside, prepare to have your cheek frozen to the cheek rest. This part could easily have been made of polymer to save weight and not be so cold.
In the end, I scrapped the mount portion. I took the cheek rest portion and stuck it to the underfolder arm using double-sided tape. Then I used small zip ties through the mounting holes and around the underfolder arm to keep it locked in place. Finally I wrapped it all in paracord which not only secures it further to the underfolder arm but

Best Polymer Sights for the Money
Written on Jan 10, 2023
These come in at a great value in my opinion. I was a little hesitant at first because there is no manual locking mechanism for the sight in the upward/downward position, meaning I'd like to have to push a button to fold them up/down, but my worries were eliminated once I felt how solid the lockup was. These detent nice and firm in the up and down positions. These sights are also easy to adjust. As a bonus, the aesthetics happened to match my Sig Romeo5 red dot perfectly and they co-witness like they were meant to be used together. I ordered this separately from the rear sight which was cheaper than buying them as a set.

US made steel sights for $30? Yes please.
Written on Jan 07, 2023
I can't believe these aren't the most popular fiber optic sights for a Glock MOS. I own sights from Trijicon, Dawson, AmeriGlo, TruGlo and more and these are on par, if not better than all of them. Quality is excellent. I could tell the steel was good quality when I was fitting them to a Zafari Precision slide with sandpaper and a file. The other thing I love about these is there's a recess for the rear of the fiber optic (the part you look at) so the bulbed end of the rod is recessed into the sight blade. Many fiber optic sights don't have this feature and the fiber optic can wiggle around, not to mention the bulb is exposed and can break off over time. These sights co-witness with my red dot, exactly as I had hoped. I can't recommend these sights enough, especially for the price.

Zaffiri Precision RTS G19 ZPS.P Slide
I was expecting a “break-in” period being Cerakoted and the fact almost nothing but the frame on my G45 is factory Glock. This slide ran flawlessly with a L2D threaded barrel, an Aim Surplus barrel and the factory Glock barrel. The pistol is significantly lighter too which feels great when wielding.
The only thing I noticed slightly different was the rear sight dovetail which is tighter than the factory Glock slide. The factory Glock sight would not fit into the dovetail and the aftermarket sights I installed required some fitting, no big deal.
Aesthetically, this slide looks really nice. I have TiN coated barrels which contrast beautifully with the black Cerakote. Couldn’t be happier.
