Yes, I'm female. Get that out of the way first.

I (we) bought an AR-15 for myself, since my husband wouldn't let me put purple furniture on the other one, so I (we) bought an inexpensive DPMS Panther Oracle .223/5.56 so that I could accessorize it and change it to the way I wanted (after I started pricing out what I wanted for a lower, upper, barrel, trigger, free float, etc... etc... if I built my own with everything I wanted to put on it I'd probably spend close to $2,000 - this way certain items will stay that I won't change until further down the road if ever and I can make some changes now.)

If you buy the Hogue kit with the buttstock and grip - PLEASE be sure to read ALLLL the fine print in the description way down to the bottom - because the mil-spec one states it's the mil-spec one at almost the end of the description and I never did find the commercial mentioned on this one unless they've changed it since I mentioned this to them. I think it would be SO much better if they put Mil or Comm in the title!

I changed out the grip quickly and easily - if you haven't ever swapped the grip out in your AR be careful - there's a spring in there for the safety switch selector that goes into the grip - if you pull the old grip out and aren't careful it may drop and if you don't see it or know about it - your selector/safety probably won't work. I don't know, I didn't try it without it but I would assume it wouldn't. Also be sure to be careful not to kink the spring putting

Easy to install, took like 5 minutes of making sure I had it set in properly for the top piece then the bottom piece popped in easily (MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER - if you need to pull down the D-Ring - look for a Delta Ring Tool - It's worth it!!)

This Quad rail looks great - fit on my AR-15 perfectly, appears to be level and centered properly, am able to add front sight and red dot to the top, a grip/bi-pod to the bottom - so I'm extremely happy!!

I would definitely buy this product again from Opticsplanet!

Oh, by the way, in case you're wondering I'm a FEMALE! And yes, I do my own cleaning of guns, additions and whatnot. Heck, I even clean the hubby's guns for him when he gets back from shooting! Of course, I had to buy my OWN AR-15 because he wouldn't let me put purple furniture on the one we originally bought... Hence cheap... ummm inexpensive DPMS Panther Oracle .223/5.56 we picked up for me to accessorize. $550 well spent - make it the way I want it!!

Oh, and I'll be reviewing other items I bought from here for my AR...
