Very nice blade!

Cold Steel Drop Forged Boot Knife
This blade has exceeded my expectations in durability, balance, and edge retention. I have had no issues with the blade falling out of the sheath when running or climbing. The only complaint some might have is with the sheath clip. The clip is a little on the smaller side, most likely to keep the profile as flat as possible. So, if you plan on using this as a boot knife, and your boots are really thick at the top, the clip may not get a good bite. Personally, I don’t have a problem with the clip because I tie all of my equipment down regardless. The sheath has cutouts around the side edges that make it very easy to tiedown and secure, even without the clip. Overall, I am very happy with how well this blade performs, especially for the price.

Great scope for the price!

Vortex OPMOD Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, First Focal Plane (FFP)
This scope has very nice glass and a clear sight picture. The turrets are great for a scope at this price, with a tactile feel and slightly audible clicks. The eye relief is pretty generous, and the eye box is nice even at higher magnification. The reticle is great for long range shooting, and easy to use being a FFP. I run this scope on two rifles, and I have never had issues with either. I own 5 Vortex scopes, and they all work perfectly. Vortex Optics has excellent customer service staff, who are all extremely helpful, and pleasant to deal with. They stand by their warranty and will replace or repair any product free of charge, with no hassle at all. The only issue some might have with this scope is that it does not have an illuminated reticle. Unless you plan on doing a lot of night shooting, you can’t go wrong with this scope.

BOG Deathgrip Infinite Tripod
The BOG Deathgrip Infinite tripod truly lives up to its name. It’s solid, and very well built. When testing the clamping head and ball head strength, it was strong enough to hold an AR-10 .308 (with an 18in barrel) perfectly flat when secured from about 9-10in behind the muzzle. It doesn’t have a problem staying where you want it. It’s very quick and easy to adjust, and super sturdy. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it.

Completely useless!

Review for
Magpul Industries MIAD Gen 1 AR10 Gun Grip
I have tried this grip on 5 different AR platforms and it doesn’t fit any of them properly. This grip has two interchangeable backstraps, neither of which can be seated properly when the grip screw is tightened. As the grip screw is tightened, the backstrap begins to slide down the main body of the grip, meaning the storage core cannot be inserted into the grip because the 3 pieces are completely misaligned. This grip is garbage!

Awesome Handguard!

STNGR HWK AR15/M4 M-Lok Free Float Handguard
I purchased the 15in and I love it. This handguard is easy to install, very sturdy, and it looks and feels great. Solid construction with a very secure fit, with absolutely no movement or rotation whatsoever. I’ve shot about 600 rounds with this so far, and I’m very happy with it. It fits nicely over a low profile adjustable gas block. I’ll definitely be buying a shorter version for my SBR.

These look great!

LaRue Tactical Low Profile IndexClips
These look really nice on a rail, and actually feel really good too. They provide a good barrier between your hand and a hot barrel, and also provide a good grip and more stability. Easy to put on, and they stay on tight, even with rapid fire and a hot barrel. Also easy to take off, and go back on just as securely if you need to reposition them at any point.

Both back straps will not fit!

Review for
Magpul Industries MIAD Gen 1 AR10 Gun Grip
This is poorly fabricated. Both of the beaver tails it comes with are not properly cut, so when you try to tighten the grip to the receiver, the pieces start to slide apart. If you want to use this grip, be prepared to break out your Dremel and do some cutting. It looks good until you try to install it.

WMD Guns AR-15 Forward Assist Assembly
I installed this on my AR-15 “WMD Beast” replica build. I didn’t expect that it would function much better than the stock forward assist. I only purchased it to go with the theme of the rifle, but I was pleasantly surprised. This thing goes in quick and easy, and functions great! Stock forward assists aren’t usually hard to depress, but this thing has zero resistance or friction. It has a nice finish and feels slick and smooth.

Looks and functions great!
Written on Dec 19, 2024
Installed this on one of my AR’s with zero issues. Comes with everything you need to install (pin, spring, and tiny c-clamp). I have been building a close replica of WMD’s “Beast AR-15”. I’m only installing parts that are either Nib-X or nickel boron coated. This dust cover functions exactly as it should and looks good doing it. Nice finish, super smooth/silky feel, and very easy to clean.

This went on my AR-15 perfectly, with no threading or alignment issues. Looks much better than the stock buffer tube, and functions great. Stock adjustments are smooth as silk. If I had to say anything negative, it’s a little noisy with the spring when first installed. However, the issue is easily corrected with a thin coating of lube and a little breaking in.
