First off, as with every single part I have ever purchased from opticsplanet, I didnt receive any hardware. I had to go to the hardware store and match up the right diameter and length bolts and nuts which is an extra cost not expected (Not a big cost, but these are supposed to include hardware regardless)

Second, the design is awesome. Very unique and with the addition of the CQR stock, this transformed my SBR M&P into a space gun!

First off, the wrong size bolt is included. the bolt had large coarse threads, which is clearly not what an AR received is tapped for. I had to cut my original bolt down to get this mounted.
Second, the install was horrible. You need a ball end allen key because the angle of the grip bolt is sharper than the opening of this stock. Seems easy enough to do and I honestly didnt even worry about it until I installed it. I have a full armorers bench with every tool you can think of. Ive buit probably 100 or more rifles in my life and can do it in my sleep. This stock install, however, took me about 4 hours to get one single bolt to line up. I was just about ready to start a product return out of frustration, but I was able to finally get it installed.

As for function, this grip makes it very difficult to operate the mage release and safety selector switch without totally breaking you hold.

I do like how it looks, very pleased with that. Just not sure if its worth the inflated cost and all the hassle involved.

First off, the mlok screws included are too short. I've tried them on 4 of my mlok handguards and they are simply too short, so keep in mind that you will need to buy these separately. This is mostly made of plastic, so the $70 -$80 cost is really not worth it. It looks nice for sure, but it is overly inflated in price and it just doesn't seem like its worth any more that $40 tops.

These do not have a set screw on the rear to lock your buffer tube straight for your stock to line up. I had to drill mine and put a small screw into it to keep the buffer tube from twisting sideways. Definitely a manufacturing mistake because there is no way you would ever not need something to keep your stock inline.

I've been shooting this same steel case ammo from my many AR-15 rifles and my Mini 14 for years. Mainly just shooting for fun and training, but I can honestly say that I have never had a single misfire at all. Only one failure to eject on a brand new rifle that wasn't cleaned or lubed prior to shooting the first mag. Excellent ammo for the price.
