Most gas blocks don't come with a roll pin, I know why this one does. They give you one so that when you ruin it, you still have the one that comes with your gas tube to use on the replacement gas block. I got the roll pin started but it would not go all the way through. I finally figured out why, the holes don't line up and the roll pin hits the other side and no amount of trying to rotate the gas tube to get the pin to line up so you can get it through. Another thing, the hole in the gas tube for the gas to travel does not line up with the hole in the block properly. Looking through one of the set screw holes you could see that the front part of the hole in the tube was being covered by the front part of the gas block. It would have probably worked but it was definitely out of spec. I bought this because I had two barrels I was trying to build uppers with and I needed another gas block. When I used the roll pin that came with my gas tube (pistol length) it was installing the same way and I was careful not to ruin it. I backed it out and retrieved my other gas block. Low and behold, same gas tube and roll pin went in the first time with no issues and the gas hole in the tube lined up perfectly on the second gas block. My experience with this gas block was a waste of time and money. Mine was definitely not Mil-Spec. I may have got a bad one but fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I am just glad I am only out $7. Lesson learned, I don't recomm

Excellent product and you can't go wrong buying these. Very good sights for both day and night use. Go for it you won't be disappointed. These are duty quality sights that are well constructed. The pro versions of these sights are worth the extra cost.

I had debated about Talon grips for a while and finally "pulled the trigger" on a couple. I bought both a rubber and a granulate grip for two different model guns. After shooting both, I prefer the comfort and feel of the rubber style Talon over the granulate. Both give you positive grip surfaces but the rubber is more comfortable to shoot than the granulate with the granulate being a little harder on the bare hand than the rubber is. If you have ever used skateboard tape on a pistol handle the granulate Talon is less aggressive but gives you a very good grip surface so spend the extra money and get a Talon. The installation process really is easy. The cuts on both of my models were spot on and went on easy. The directions tell you to heat the grips for better adhesion and I would recommend you do that because it not only holds better but you also get better definition of the guns grip surfaces(peaks and valleys)through the grip and it looks really cool. If you have been considering buying a Talon, you won't be disappointed.

I bought both a rear and front sight. Magpul quality you can count on. They won't let you down when you need them. Beware of EBAY fakes, buy from a reputable dealer like Optics Planet! Optics Planet has fast shipping too, big plus.
