magpul-mlok-hand-guard-rail-section-sxjau
This Mlok rail is exactly what you expect. It's well made, fits right and is easy to install. If you don't want a cheap plastic rail then this is the rail for you. It may be a little higher than it should but the little extra is worth the peace of mind knowing you're getting a good product. Buy with confidence.

Solid Magnifier
Written on Apr 20, 2017
Got this to go with my Aimpoint T-2. I've had great results with their products and this magnifier didn't disappoint. The view is very clear; diopter adjustment is easy; rugged construction including nice rubbery coating.
If I had a criticism it would be the short eye-relief and the fact that it doesn't come with any sort of lens covers. I contacted Aimpoint about this and they refered me to scopecoats.com for a cover. The one-size-fits all type of neoprene cover that was recommended wasn't great to put it mildly.
Overall, this is a solid product and I would definitely buy again.

Aimpoint Twist Mount Ring
Written on Apr 10, 2017
I got this to mount my 3X magnifier and Aimpoint T-2. The materials and construction seem to be top notch. The base is rock solid and the top swivels on and off easily with the push of a lever.
One caveat that I did not see listed. This mount and base as it comes is not high enough if you have a high mount on your AR. If you have a high optic mount then you will have to get the Aimpoint AR15 Spacer - QRP and TwistMount Ring (Code: AI-IA-12227). So that's about another $30.

Review for
Carlson's Choke Tubes Case
I really like this case. The case it hard enough to keep it's shape and protect the contents and yet still soft. Everything seems really well made. The design is nice too where the pocket attachment for five chokes is attached by velcro. The only thing that would be better is if they would have included 2 attachements since I have way more than 5 chokes for my Rem 870 (all Carlson's).
Really good product that helps me reduce clutter and stay more organized.
Buy with confidence!

2x Lens for Q14 Thermal
Written on Apr 04, 2017
This lens is a great improvement for the Armasight Q14 thermal imaging monocular. The monocular itself is so small that even with the 2x lens it still doesn't increase the size too much.
As for the lens, it made a huge difference. Don't be fooled by "digital" zoom. It is a sham... all it does is magnify the screen image which just leads to more and more pixelation. If you want to have a better image then optical magnification from a bigger lens is what you want. This made the presentation on the screen twice as large but retained all the clarity (unlike digital zoom). You give up a little field of view but the stock Q14 has so much FOV that I didn't miss it at all. And, if you needed more FOV the lens is easily removed.
It seems like a high item but quality lenses are what really cost. If you want to improve your Q14 then this will do it. You'll be glad you did.

WAAAY better than these other reviews say
Written on Mar 24, 2017
I have had the JP Circle Dot on my Glock 36 for almost a year (carry ever day). This thing is amazing. I had Briley mill the slide so it doesn't stick up so high.
Why does no one else make a circle dot? I love it. I've never had a problem with wash out from being in a darker place and looking into a lighter place. I have 2 Trijicon RMRs, one of which is the 12.9 MOA triangle with the dual illumination. Now that RMR has wash out problems. The JPoint? Shines like a champ. Yes the reticle will change brightness levels somewhat based on the background but I've never come close to losing the circle dot due to washout.
While I really like my other Trijicon RMR a lot (RM06 - 3.25 MOA LED dot), it was 2.5X what the JPoint cost me. Is it 2.5X better than the JPoint? No way and not even close.
This is the company that makes the JPoint for JP Enterprises: http://www.shieldpsd.com/. From what I understand they also made Trijicon's first mini red dot. Buy with confidence, this is an excellent product with a unique and completely undervalued reticle.
To quote my favorite youtube reviewer (Sootch00) "thumbs way up! Be strong; be of good courage; God bless America; long live the Republic!" :D

Review for
Armasight Hard Storage Case for Night Vision
This case, like all Armasight products I have had my hands on, is top notch. It gets a good seal, the hardware looks good and there are plenty of strips of padding with removable sections so you can tailor the fit to your sight. Buy with confidence!

Excellent engineering & quality
Written on Mar 16, 2017
This thing is really nice. Both releases are independently adjustable and allow for quick mounting and removing. The releases hold the rail nice and tight so that the adapter is held completely immovable. It's a high quality piece of equipment. Could be seen as somewhat expensive but considering what you're mounting on it, I'd say it's not going to bother you that much. Buy with confidence!

Great product
Written on Dec 29, 2016
I have 3 Blackhawk recoil absorbing stocks/grips. This is like the Gen2. It works great for what it is. I do believe that both the Gen2 and Gen3 butt stocks make shooting a little easier than this breacher grip, but it is still a dramatic improvement over any other standard or "recoil reducing" pistol grip.
My only criticism would be that the tail extends back a ways and does mess with your forearm a little. It can't be helped as that length is necessary but it is something to be aware of.
Do yourself a favor and get one.
