The barrel I received isn’t working. When I try to rack the slide to load a round I get failure to feed problems. The slide locks at the back where it sticks. I bought it for a compensator and thought the comp was the problem at first. But when I removed it I still had the same issue. I wouldn’t recommend this item.

I ordered this to replace a Magpul stock. The factory stock was snug and fit well but I wanted a different color. I’ve slowly been changing out parts from black to FDE. The Magpul stock I ordered was really loose so I had to put some Velcro tape under it to keep it from rattling. The Magpul was also shorter than the factory stock so I was having to extend it all of the way out. This stock is amazing. The rubber pad is really comfortable against the inside of the shoulder and it adds length to the stock so I no longer have to extend it all of the way out. I’m very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it. I would imagine with a larger caliber rifle, like a marksman rifle, the rubber pad would make a nice difference with recoil.
Regarding the reviews about rattle, which I didn’t have a problem with, apply some Velcro tape to the buffer tube where it lies under the stock if you have that problem and it will keep it nice and snug. It stays in place well also.

I first bought an inexpensive (as in $35) red dot on Amazon but really wanted a decent brand to pair with my Viridian GDO 3x Magnifier. I was happy with the price and the dot seemed like a solid red dot. I never tried it at the range though. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted and in the end decided I wanted a parallax free reflex sight. I ended up returning this and getting a Sight Mark M-Spec reflex sight. But I would recommend this red dot for anyone looking for a $100 re dot for their rifle or shotgun.

I mounted this with a 3x magnifier. It seems like a decent red dot sight so far but, despite the description, it is not anti-fog. The last 2 nights I’ve gone in my backyard to zero it with a laser bore sighter at 25 yards but I couldn’t see through it because it keeps fogging up. I wipe the lenses and the fog comes right back. So far I haven’t been able to zero it. It wasn’t even raining. It had rained recently. This is a big downside considering I live in the southeast where it’s always humid. I don’t want a sight I can only use half of the time. I want it to perform whenever I need it to. Either they’re lying about the lenses being anti-fog or the tech they use to make them anti-fog doesn’t work.

I bought this to replace a larger one I bought on Amazon for $65. It was very bright but had a starburst even at lower brightness. I also wanted a small one to mount with my 3x magnifier. The larger one would have looked like too much with my magnifier. I saw this same sight at a local gun store for $200! The markup on gun products is ridiculous. Anyway, I’m happy with the sight so far. It looks good and no starburst even on the brightest setting. I like that it turns off on the click between each numbered brightness. Makes it easy to keep it near my preferred brightness. I haven’t fired my rifle with it yet but I’m looking forward to it. I do agree with another reviewer that mentions that it isn’t a perfect circle because you can see the little bump where the red dot comes from in the bottom right. It isn’t a big deal though. It’s easily ignored. It looks sharp also. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase. Especially knowing gun shops are charging twice as much.
