I know there is many reviews for this item and all are 5 stars and I have to say that I totally agree with them. Phase 5 took the time to engineer the item to fit exactly like it should. The design of it is genius and really looks good on my rifle (A Stag Arms Marksman AR-10). Installing the part onto this rifle was really easy due to Stag Arms used a screw instead of a roll pin to install the bolt catch. All you need is a 1/16th Allen key and installation is super simple. Overall opinion is I am very happy I went with the Phase 5, because it is only one of very few companies that design a bolt catch that will work with the design of the lower and upper. It fits perfectly with absolutely no wasted space. It hugs the lower and places lever to the front of the trigger well. Not too far, but far enough to interfere if you wear gloves while you shoot. Craftsmanship is stellar and it is rigid, but not too much. It just fits perfectly and I love it!!! Phase 5 hit it out of the park with this item!!

I have mixed feelings on this set. I have a few of Wheelers Tools and normally I am pretty happy with their performance and maybe the hammer and punch set that I bought was a fluke. The set I purchased has not performed near to my expectations. The punches either bent or mushroomed, causing damage to a firearm that I was working on. The hammer is great and I still have it, but I have had to replace almost all of the punches in this set, which made me feel like I should have just paid a $100 for Pachmeyers Gunsmithing Kit. As I said, I have other items of Wheelers and I am very pleased with their performance, so like I said, maybe I bought bad apple.

I have read some reviews for this scope, so I bought one and put it on my Bushmaster ACR and I have been extremely please. I read an earlier review about the scope fogging, so I tested it and I could not get the scope to fog up in any environment I tried it in. In fact, my Vortex Strike Eagle fogged up and the MTAC remained clear. The glass in this scope is exceptional. The reticle is going to be either loved or hated. I love it. I sighted my rifle in and using the distance drops in the recticle, I was able to consistently hit a 4" plate at 500 yards. It works very well, but I know some will not like it and that's fine, but in my opinion, it's a solid optic and for me, it's perfect for my needs. I recommend this scope to anyone that wants a good scope for a good price and a fantastic warranty, get it, you won't be sorry. One of the best warranties out there!! You can't go wrong. The combo of the scope, the P.E.P.R. Mount, and the Burris Fastfire III for one great price is going to be nearly impossible to match anywhere!! Happy shooting!
