The OpticsPlanet OPMOD exclusive version of the Vortex High Country II tripod is very nice. The color is way better in person as it is more of a darker coyote brown compared to the bright FDE depicted in the product images. It comes with all the same features as the standard Vortex High Country II tripod as well as Vortex's excellent VIP lifetime warranty. So if you are in the market for a similar tripod and want to save a few bucks, grab one of these before they are all gone.

Living in California, I figured these would be great as you can quickly change out an empty magazine with a full one (full as in only ten rounds unfortunately for us behind enemy lines). The design is great as you can connect two different ways depending on your reload preference. However, if you use these mags to leave full in order to stage for defensive use, I had three individual magazines crack along the side edge a bit over a year of ownership and had them replaced under warranty. However, I just used the replacements today in an AR class and had multiple double feeds and failure to feeds with multiple magazines (I know as I have them individually numbered). Once I switched to my HEX mags, the issue never happened again, so my conclusion is the feed lips are a bit out of spec. So, again great idea, but poor execution. If you want to train random malfunction drills, pick up a couple. Otherwise, stick with Magpul or HEX Mag 10/30 magazines.

Just like all other Magpul products, the DT Carbine stock it top quality. Nice tight fit on the receiver extension, so very little wobble. Great to have the QD attachments on both sides as well.

I ordered one of these for an AR that had a Faxon 223 Wylde barrel, so I assumed based on the quality of the barrel. the BCG would be as good. As soon as I opened the packaging and looked it over, the gas key staking was horribly inadequate, it was like it was staked by a child. So unfortunately I had to return it.

This Faxon 223 Wylde barrel is excellent, great finish and build quality.

Not much to say as it is expected that any product from Midwest Industries is going to be high quality. And this Aimpoint T-1 QD Mount is no exception. It works great with my Holosun HS503 RedDot optic as the Holosun OEM mounts are not very durable.

I installed this CMMG ejection port cover/gas deflector on a recent AR9 build and the gas deflection functionality works well since blowback 9mm is gassy. I had a bit of difficulty installing the rod as the gas detector sat too proud to allow for the rod to be inserted. So I had to file the deflector a bit, and after some trial and error, I was able to install it. It is nice and tight with no wobble. My AR-15 lower is Mil-Spec so others may not have the same issue.

Excellent build quality and installed perfectly. These pins seem like they will never come loose based on the design.

The Midwest Industries 10/22 Fixed Barrel 13 inch Chassis is an excellent product. The fit and finish is done to the typical high quality Midwest Industries standard. I used this with one of the Brownell's BRN-22 receivers with the milled Picatinny top rail and a Faxon 16 inch pencil profile barrel, and this lightweight 22 LR rifle is absolutely awesome. This chassis is highly recommended for anyone looking to do a more tactical 10/22 build.

This bipod M-LOK adapter is great for when you have limited slots on your hand guard. Solid Midwest Industries build quality as always.
