My first Zev.
Written on Aug 13, 2025
I had a Mega billet stripped receiver set for years. I finally got around to building a gun. The handguard I had wouldn't fit the billet receiver so I found that ZEV had one that would. This was my first experiance with the Zev handguard, wow. Everything about it was top shelf, the design, the lightness, the finish, the anti-rotation index pin. The wedge lock mechanism is very stout. Once adjusted it's not going to move ever.

"Looks" good.
Written on Apr 12, 2025
I had only owned one scope, a very old economy model from decades ago. After finishing and testing my scratch built AR10 in 308, I decided it was time to adorn it with a moderen good quality scope. I read reviews, watched videos, searched forums, and the Vortex Viper PST kept coming up as an overachiever for the money paid. I dont think it will ever be used much over 500 yards, so the medium range 3 x 15 version seemed like a good choice and is smaller and ligher than its big brother.the 5 x 25. I bought the Vortex QD mount to go with the scope.
Stunning clarity, all the adjustments you could want, built well. Some of the controls are a bit stiffer than I would like. The reticle illumination control is very stiff. I did go with the 1st focal plane, nice. Love the reticle. Its a lot of money, over a grand for the scope plus mount, but I am very happy and glad I did it.

Review for
Midwest Industries Upper Receiver Rod
I had bought the AR10 rod awhile ago and what a beast of a tool it was. So when came time to build another AR15 i decided to ditch the clamshell I had been using and get another Midwest reaction rod this time for AR15. Its just as cool as the AR10 rod but slightly smaller. It's still a beast though. I love it. It works as advertised.

Midwest Industries Upper Receiver Rod
Forget about the AR10, just use this thing as a club! I had been using a clam shell for my AR15 builds, but thoughr I'd try this out for my AR10 build. Wow, I liked it so much I plan on getting an AR15 version also. Easy to use, I used it for tightening both the barrel nut and the flash hider. Happy.

its okay, but could be wrong for you

I have two M6xx Scout Pro's, one is about three years ago, the other is a few weeks ago.
This remote button tail cap does not fit the older flash light.
It does fit the new one. One word of warning, you must tighten the tail cap a lot in order for this to work. From what I see this is a feature, although not well explained in the instructions. I the switch grips a picatinny rail okay, but really should have the recommended velco to help. Not sure if they make a metal switch that clamps to the rail, that would be nice. Surefire should not be going down the road of cheaping out on these things. I can get that level of service eveeywhere else.
It works as advertised. Not if thwre is a different model that fits my old light.

.My first M6xx had a dedicated picatinny mount with a large knib for mounting. This one requires a screw driver, but will also do M Loc. Nit sure if Im crazy about the new mount. Time will tell. The ligh5 is great.

Nice barrel

Review for
Wilson Combat AR Threaded Barrel
I finally decided to build my first AR style 308. I wanted to build a practicle comfortable shooter for medium to long range. 18 inch, rifle gas, rifle buffer, that can work well suppressed or not. This Wilson has good reviews, and it is a gorgous barrel. It fits perfectly with my CMMG upper and BCG. Always a worry about mixing companies with an AR10/LR208 build. So far, I love this barrel. It looks great. It came packed very well and flawless.

Solid stock

Magpul Industries PRS GEN3 Precision-Adjustable Stock for AR15/M16 and AR10/SR25 platforms
I wanted a solid long-range AR10 build. Something reasonably light for a 308 and as soft shooting as possible for a 308. 18-inch barrel, rifle lengrh adjustable gas system, rifle length buffer, and a solid no wiggle adjustable stock with a descent recoil absorbing end. This stock is the real deal and checks all of the boxes. While heavy, the stock goes a long way to balancing out the weight of the barrel and suppressor. It is tight and solid. Very happy with it.
