I've built probably 6-8 Polymer80 frame built Glock styled guns...all of which had unique problems that required trouble shooting. I was informed by my best friend who also builds that "tolerance stacking" or using parts, even quality parts from multiple different manufacturers or brands and the small differences in their tolerances can cause big problems in builds. This has proved to be true. The XTS GLK19 SLIDE KIT includes all parts for your slide except for the barrel. And it quickly solved my problem when mated with a frame that was built from a single source of parts. Little difference in tolerances means a lot less problems...wow. The quality of this kit is outstanding and the price at OP is very competitive and fair. I highly recommend this kit.

I purchased this binary trigger for my MKE/Century Arms MP5/AP5. I installed it the same day it arrived. Delivery was faster than I expected. Read the instructions and it was easy to install. Not as complicated as the video online from Franklin Armory would lead you to believe. The video was more confusing than helpful, follow the instructions that comes with the kit and you'll do fine. Test fired the weapon also the same day. Very impressed. It isn't the same as a full auto MP5, which I had the privilege of firing when in the military, but this kit makes no such claim, it is binary not full auto. It reminded me more of a Gatling gun rate of fire. Now as I shoot it more, and find that "sweet spot" in my triggering technique, it may ultimately have a higher cyclic rate and as it "breaks in" but overall I'm impressed with it and Optics Planet had a special code at the time discounting it, so the kit cost me $585, not the $629 that you see advertised by most other vendors currently. I think it was 13% off the regular price, which is better than my military discount. Anyway, if like me you can't afford a real class 3 full auto MP5, but owning one that comes close is on your bucket list, pull the trigger on this kit.

Mounted mine on a CA3 from Century Arms (HK G3 FMP kit rebuild) and it worked great. Able to see through the mount and view my iron sights fine. Mount secures solidly to the receiver. Picatinny rail hangs over the rear HK drum aperture sight, but doesn't interfere with rotation of the drum. Worked great for my purposes and better than paying HK >$200 for their stanag mount.

I love these .50cal can trays. If you're stockpiling ammo, it keeps things organized and stackable. I put them on rolling moving dollies from Harbor Freight, it makes moving heavy 3 stacked trays full of ammo manageable. And these are affordable too.

I have purchased probably 5 of these over the last few years for some builds of mine, and I find them well made, sturdy and very functional. They are about half the price of a Law Tactical Folding Stock Adapter and the designs are similar. I only recently had a issue with the buffer retaining pin, the post bent and when I tried to straighten it, it snapped off. Went to the Sylvan Arms website and found replacement pin kits for their GEN 3 folding stock adapters. Must be the part that is prone to break, but the kits are only $5 bucks and they contain 2 pins, a pin spring and the set screw. I still rate the product 5 stars and I'm interested in the GEN 4 model, but I'm not sure if the QD capability and other newer features are worth the extra cost. Still highly recommend this GEN 3 folding adapter.

I've bought several of these over the years for different builds. I like them. They are a affordable AR15 type upgrade that is both practical, speeding up mag changes and enhances the look of the MSR as well.

I've bought a bunch of this ammo from different sources, because it great. Hush quiet through my Rugged Suppressor on a 300 BO AR build of mine. The price was good too, some places better than others for price. OP was running a sale when I bought this. So, that's good enough for me. Get some and check it out for yourself.

Awesome tritium night sights. Just a little over a hundred bucks for the best tritium sights on the market. The suppressor height is adequate to get a clear sight picture over any of the major manufactured suppressors on the market. I mounted mine on a Glock 19 build I recently finished. The white rings around the green tritium lamps really enhance picking up the sights during the day. I'm very happy with this purchase. Trijicon is considered the industry leader in tritium night sights by most and this being a real world self defense gun, it's hard to go wrong with choosing the best. Mounted easily using a UTG sight pusher tool. Optics Planet helped by having this item on sale and also providing a 14% off coupon plus fast delivery. Highly recommend this product and Optics Planet!

This scope is everything that you would have to twice or three times as much for. 1 MOA dot reticle, clear glass and co-witnesses just as promised with my MI flip up irons. Got this on sale at Optics Planet, and I'm glad, but after checking it out....I would have paid full price. What else needs to be said.

Some years ago I bought a GEN 1 Kel-Tec Sub-2000 that uses the Glock 33 round mags. I thought the collapsible 9mm carbine was a pretty great idea and design, but it was limited in some respects. Mainly the factory sights are less than desirable, a red dot scope would improve it's accuracy greatly. This picatinny forend makes mounting a red dot easy and practical. It doesn't interfere with the carbine locking in it's collapsed configuration. Use of a quick detach scope mount is advisable. The forend is quality manufactured and I think would hold up under heavy use. The price point is also great. Plus at Optics Planet shipping was free, which makes it more affordable than most other places online. Much less expensive than the Red Lion Precision forend, yet just as useful.
