Excellent stock. I’m using it for bench work with a heavy 20” kids barrel and it’s the perfect combination.
Beautiful craftsmanship and has plenty of built in attachment points. I haven’t needed to purchase the action spike as my Ruger action installed with a solid fit. The ergonomics are perfect and I love the swollen grip width and angle. I’m 6’1 and didn’t need any LOP change.
It’s simply solid as can be and looks amazing.
A real joy to shoot.

I’ve bought and built more than a few higher end precision barrels and have never experienced the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that this $230 Kidd barrel presents. I have no idea how they can sell this level of quality for less than some basic nitride steel barrels cost but here it is!
The chamber and bore has a mirror finish and the non threaded crown is beautifully finished without a spec of tool marks left.
The polished exterior and engraving are even and elegant. The SS barrel looks phenomenal in my black Victor Titan stock.
1/2” groups are on autopilot @50 with SK and Eley match extra.
But again, this level of craftsmanship in a bolt gun or a precision AR would easily cost >$500

I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading the earlier reviews. My kit showed up with everything it’s supposed to have and I am impressed by everything about it. The barrel machining looks incredible under the bore scope, the upper receiver is a keyhole which is my favorite to build from and the hand guard comes installed on the triangle end cap. These are just a few of the details that people weren’t mentioning but I noticed. This is a legit steal at the MSRP let alone the Optics planet price. Oh and btw, the lower parts kit looks exactly the same as the CMMG ones I used recently, you can tell by the fine details. The mag release is one area where it shows. I’m telling you, but this upper, there’s no way someone received the same kit I did and could complain. I LOVE this kit

I was looking for a mil dot optic for my 20” AR and always wanted to try the SWFA 10x for its classic design but decided to try this 4-14x to get more power if needed. WOW I wasn’t expecting this level of quality in this price range. I’m literally blown away by Primary Arms for putting out an optic of this quality at this price. I’m not saying it’s on the same level as my Cronus or XTRII, but I wasn’t looking for another massive 34mm tube optic with highly detailed reticle, I wanted something smaller, but tough with a simple reticle for that classic military DMR role. THIS IS THE PERFECT OPTIC for that role. I’m used to good glass that still gets a little dim at higher mags on my 4.5-29 Cronus and 10-40 Burris, so to have this Primary arms at 14x and it’s still crisp and clear with a comfortable eye-box is a huge relief. The body of the optic is probably thicker than anything I own and you can see and feel that. The finish is quality anodizing and looks great. The controls are all optimal without stiff points and the “clicks” feel snappy and tight. Btw this $220 scope easily has the best diopter adjustment of any optic I’ve ever owned and that’s a shame on many higher end manufacturers, because Primary Arms nailed it! I’m literally excited by the quality and value in this 4-14x44. It’s my first primary arms optic, but it won’t be my last.

Exactly what I was looking for. A light and extremely tough case for a heavy precision rifle. This case is made in America, utilizes extremely tight stitching and the most heavy duty grade zipper LGS I’ve ever seen. It is nothing like the cheaper overseas soft cases that sometimes cost more, yet uses 4-5 stitches per inch and cheap zippers. You’ll notice the quality as soon as you hold one of the Armageddon gear soft cases

Excellent ammo for long range precision shooting. Shot very well in a 20” R700 and at this price, you get the best brass for reloading that money can buy. It’s the perfect ammo that keeps on giving.
Was under 1MOA at 100 yards which is extremely nice for new shooter. The 175gr hpbt is going to be an excellent round for 600+ yards

AR15 version. This handle works great for rifles equipped with holographic sight magnifiers. The wider Ambidextrous handle protrudes out further than the Mil-Spec handle and makes for easy charging underneath the magnifier. It's wider, but contoured well to prevent snags and catching on other gear or bags. I've shot a couple hundred rounds with no issues and love the functionality of this great looking product. This handle is worth the money and is an instant upgrade to any rifle.

This polymer magwell fits perfectly on the pf940c frame. It snaps into place with the built-in plug and is very secure. Its thin profile doesn't offer as much (ramp) in the magwell as other extremely flaired extensions will, but it does help with magazine feeding and ovrrall grip. It also gives my FDE frame a finishedlook. Its labeled as a EDC style extension because of its less aggressive flair.

After completing this slide on a P80 build frame and testing with optic installed im updating my review. The slide functions flawless on the range, no failures of any kind. I installed a set of suppressor sights that utilize a locking screw and filed down the provided optic mount srews to prevent them from contacting the extractor plunger. The lack of indexing post hasn't effected the optics zero and the slide does function well after these fixes. Trybe made a few QC errors but the slide functions w/o failures.

Received the gen3 g19 slide in black with Vortex Viper cut and was immediately impressed by how much better the slide looks in person over the advertised photos. Upon installing a Trybe defense slide parts kit I started noticing problems with the internal finishing and rear dovetail cut. The channel that the extractor plunger & spring slide into had some burs or cerakote buildup that needed cleaned out. After a few passes with a plastic rod I was able to slide the parts in place as desired. The extractor functioned great until I screwed down my Viper optic with the supplied screws, they were way to long and actually screwed down so far that the right side screw came into contact with the extractor plunger, pushing down holding it in place so that the extractor can't move or function at all. I guess I'll have to file down the screws to make them work. The next thing that stands out to me and may be a deal breaker for some folks is that the optic cut DOES NOT have any indexing post. It is simply held in place by the provided (to long) screws. On to the last issue I had with the slide, the dovetail. It is cut a hair wider than OEM causing factory glock sights to slide right through without much resistance. This is a great looking slide and with some extra work put in by the customer you can file screws, debur the channels and install a rear sight with a locking screw you can over come these issues as long as your ok with NO indexing post. Would i buy it again? No, not with other
