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.

I can't tell you how it works as I've bought it for a Live Free Armory G19 Slide that I had purchased earlier. All I can say is that it drops into the slide nicely, pretty much a perfect fit. Neither the barrel or slide have been used yet.

I ordered this plate for the Live Free Elite series slide because I figured that it would be a perfect fit for the slide being the same series. And it fits perfectly! I don't know how it would fit any other slide and I don't intend on using it on a different slide.

I was looking for a larger than factory grip for my Freedom Ordnance FX-9 and it had to be a grip without the back strap since the FX-9 lower is shorter than an AR lower. Most flat top grips are very thin and don't fill your hand leaving your index finger far into the trigger. This grip fills the hand, and I have average sized hands, so that your finger fits the trigger before the first knuckle so as to not "pull" your shot. I didn't like the over molded, slightly sticky feel at first but now like it in cooler weather. Great grip for the FX-9!
