I have a pair of these pins on one of my ARs and they make it super easy open up your AR. I have other pins in other ARs to compare them to. My older, arthritic, busted up hands appreciate these Yankee Hill pins!

I gave this charging handle a five star rating even though I've not installed it yet. I read a review on it and it said that the much slimmer handle makes it much easier to use when you have a scope mounted on your AR. I have Geissle and Radian charging handles plus scopes on my other ARs and they can be a knuckle buster! The Warhammer is much slimmer as advertised.

I've spent a good deal of money on aftermarket triggers for my AKs and have been disappointed in everyone of them until I purchased this CMC Drop-In Single Stage Trigger! I waited until it came up for sale when I bought it! About the same time the Timney AK trigger came up for sale so I purchased both of them on my two AKs. I have Timney triggers on all of my bolt action rifles and have always been pleased with them and thought it would be the same with their AK trigger. The poundage trigger pull is about the same. Both have a nice crisp break and the reset is pretty much the same. Both were fairly easy to install but I could not get the Timney trigger to go to the safety position after I dropped the trigger! I finally found a write up where the guy had the same problem! Bottom line, the Timney trigger will not go to the safety position with the hammer down! Aren't they supposed to close to keep dust and moisture out? The CMC trigger closes up nicely like the way that AK triggers are supposed to work safety closed with the hammer down! So when the CMC trigger came up for sale again, I bought another one and I'm going to take the Timney trigger out! I'm very pleased with the CMC trigger! It's everything I've always wanted in a trigger for an AK! It's revolutionized the AK! It isn't the sloppy, hard military trigger that it used to be! Get one! You won't be disappointed!

First off, let me say that I've not put this to use yet. Big change of plans so to speak! Almost two weeks in the hospital really slowed down my new build! I do have it secured to the barrel though. I was quite skeptical at first about the three screws to hold the gas block to the barrel without dimpling the barrel to hold it securely in place! But it really seems to be quite secure! Red Loctite so the screws won't back out. I waited a day for the Loctite to be set up and tried to twist it out of place with my hands, but I couldn't budge it! The system to set the gas anyway you need to set it is remarkably easy! That's what sold me on this adjustable gas block in the first place! And it doesn't add much weight with the way Faxon has removed a lot of the metal with the large holes in the sides! I think you'll like it!

I ordered this Bushmaster gas tube because the barrel and other parts of my build were Bushmaster. I surely didn't go wrong! Good hook up to the gas block and bolt both! Also this gas tube comes with a new pin! So many others don't include a pin! I would recommend this intermediate size gas tube!

I really like this stock for my AK! Granted, it takes some getting used to, but it seems to get easier the more I fold it! It doesn't have adjustable length, but the length is perfect for me! It is about as minimalistic as you can get which besides size, this cuts down on the rifle's weight. I also purchased the cheek riser and it works pretty slick too! I'd recommend this stock to anyone with an AK who is looking to some customizing on their AK!

I think that L2D barrels are among the best on the market. I've got several of them and have had zero problems with them. I prefer the stainless for both aesthetic and wear reasons. The stainless barrels are beautiful and as they start to show wear, the wear isn't as noticeable as the cerakote models. I have usually purchased them when they are on sale so that they are very competitively priced. I also have the black ones. They are just as functionable as the stainless but the wear isn't as prevalent. Face it though, any cerakote finish will eventually show wear.

I have been looking at Faxon barrels for sometime and purchased a G19 series when they were on sale. I installed it into one of my G19s and I have been very pleased with it's performance! The barrel is very aesthetically pleasing which is a nice addition. The one in my G19 is without issues so I decided to try the G17 barrel.

I've used various brands of barrels and L2D is the brand I like best! I have zero issues with them! They are a little pricey but I can often find them on sale so that they are within my budget. They are 1:10 rifling which is a plus for me. And they are fluted! Very stylish design! I also like the crown of the barrel which will aid in little to no harm to the barrel if dropped.
