out of spec
Written on Aug 14, 2025
Charging handle channel is not milled correctly. Tris 5 different ones and all fit way too tight. I thought it might be the finish was thick but that's not the case.

Used aero precision pistol Lowe and bcg from another 300 and the charging handle will not insert without moderate force. Will not cycle rounds. I may have got a bad one.

Firefield Agility 1x30 Dot Sight
I purchased this sight because the name stood out and it was marked way down at the time. I planned to throw it on a hi-point 995 someone had lost the sights off of. The reticle is nice and bright and its nice to be able to adjust the size. One issue that is a deal breaker is the fact the field of view is incredibly narrow. There is no fast taget acquisition with this sight. I would never suggest using it on something practical or in a life or death situation. Also you can clearly see all the wires inside and the diode circuit board . I own other firefield optics and they seem fairly high quality. I would have certainly returned this one if I would have paid full price.

returning mine.
Written on Jun 01, 2023
After reading the reviews and watching what videos I could find I decided to go out on a limb and purchase this little guy. Im not sure if I got a lemon or if they are all this grainy. I cant determine what I'm looking at only feet away. Also the system freezes every few seconds for a second or two which makes having the reticle almost entirely useless. The freezing gets worse the longer its on or if you are navigating the menu and ive had to remove the battery to get the system to reset. If it were only a toy and not priced where other flir devices are then it may be acceptable, but at this pricepoint the quality is way below expectation.

clearance issue.
Written on May 14, 2023
I bought 4 of these a while back for some builds I was doing. Once assembled the charging handle wouldn't clear the end plate. Some simple modification would resolve this, but that is not something I should have to do especially for a new clean build. Needless to say they got trashed because they were in sale and not worth my time to return.
buy magpul or hogue

Got this because of the price and the name but quickly found out it is junk and out of spec. Used on an aero precision lower. Lesson learned is stick to what you know and don't penny pinch on a build.

UTG Pro AR15 Ops Ready S4 Mil-spec Stock Kit
I purchased two of these kits and upon first inspection everything seemed legit. When the tube was installed on the lower i noticed it was slightly canted after tightening the castle nut. When removed you could see where the endplate had cut into the threads. I assumed i had done something wrong so i used the second kit and it had the same issue. When a cheap tube was used from a takeoff there was no issue. I found i could literally turn the endplate into the threads with very little force so the aluminum has to be super soft. The stock itself is very nice so far. The bare stock can be had for around 20 bucks. The tubes i used with no issue were a brand like je machine or tacfire. For roughly the same price you can piece this together and save a lot of headache. Fortunately i have a lot of spare parts laying around...

this upper is a great buy
Written on Nov 16, 2021
I purchased this because i wanted a cheap ar upper to practice cerakote on. The finish leaves something to be desired so coating this would really enhance its looks. I dropped in a bootleg inc bcg and slapped it on my aero lower to test fire. Everything seemed to be perfectly in spec. It shoots excellent. One other thing to consider when purchasing is some sort of rubber rail covers because the handguard rings like a bell when you release your bolt.

awesome little hand stop

Strike Industries Bikini Hand Stop
I ordered y first set of these as something to add to my cart so i could get free shipping instead of losing money. They sat for a few months until I decided to get them out and try them on a build i was doing. I now have purchased three pairs of these. What works for me is using a single stop on the bottom of the handguard for my index finger to rest against.

fit and finish is excellent

Sniper AR-15 Round Buffer Tubes
I used this on a rifle build with a minimalist style aluminum stock plate. Worked perfect for its intended purpose. The finish seems durable and should hold up to the test of time. I would certainly buy again.
