Got this light for emergency preparedness and so far I’ve been wicked happy with it!
The plastic is super thick and the closure mechanism on the battery pack has a solid clamp.

Overall I like this release as it really is a big help getting to the button when you don't have a perfect grip. I do wish it had the texturing all the way across the flat piece that screws on, but where it is textured is good. The screw itself has been rock solid with a touch of blue locktite. Overall, pretty good upgrade!

These Magazines are probably the best capped magazines you can get in terms of ergonomics and functionality you can get in a restricted state. Hexmags come close, sure, but the track record, and frankly, the polymer body used in Magpuls is a bit better. The body material is what you expect from Magpul: lightweight and tough as nails. These consistently feed well, and make it through training courses no sweat. Overall, you're getting the perks of 30-round mag ergos with compliant capacity. Not much more to ask for. The only problem is you're going to need more than you expect, because you'll be reloading all the time! Definitely a good buy. Highly recommended.

Don't want to spend $400 on a factory ambidextrous lower? Then this is you ticket to the ambi life for you!
I cannot say enough how much of an ergonomic improvement this part is. The underrated superpower is the ability to lock open the bolt without having to use the pong-paddle exclusively. It is so. Much. Better! In double feed drills especially, being able to index finger up and lock the bolt back makes it go so much faster without having to remove your hand from fire control.
Speaking of faster, on 1-1 drills, or any drill where the reload is timed, I'm able to consistently get .1 to .12 Seconds off my reload times. It's that good.
The only real issue is the installation. If you've got the 4mm milling bit and tools to do it at home, power to you. I had to go to my local gunsmith to have the receiver cut made, but it only took them half an hour of labor and it looks and works great. Be aware that depending on choice of dust cover, the pressure exerted on the PDQ lever might be enough to close your bolt. It's rare, but I've determined that to be the cause of the mysterious bolt drop after I installed this device.
Overall, I think it's a great way to get much improved functionality out of any traditional AR lower and really improve the ergonomics of an already wonderfully designed rifle!

I've had these for a couple of months now, and they're a real knock out!
They're also nicely sized to fit around glasses and sunglasses so you can still see with maximum clarity outdoors. The glass elements are clear as day too. The included carrying case has held up very well too, no complaints on functionality and build quality.
Only reason for 4-stars is I wish the carrying case came with a bit of paracord or bungie so you could tie to your harness or pack easier
Overall a must for any serious climber. Highly recommend!

There's not much to go wrong when making a carabiner, and Metolius gets it right out of the gate. The little guy was able to function as a bail-beaner on a route I got tracked out on, so it can definitely handle some weight and forces when it matters most. It even looks' good to boot too.
Overall, it holds up to it's competitors very well, and is a great option for building out your kit!

Hoppe's has been making these for years and the verdict is the same: These little guys are great!
Inexpensive, good quality, light for the field, and most importantly it cleans the bore of your rifle very very well. Theres really not much more to debate about these bore snakes, they're phenomenal!

This axe has served as a great little pioneering tool for me since 2015. It’s lightweight, affordable and punches way above its weight despite it’s small size. It handles easily and despite some hard use I’ve put it through, the steel has held up great.
For a sub-$50 axe, this is easily one of the best on the market, and has been for a while. Bravo, Cold Steel!

Got this for a .308 Win. build so my hand position would be optimized for consistent, slow, smooth trigger pulls. I can say it Works fantastic for said purpose. I really like the super aggressive stippling on the grip. Planning on getting another to test on CQB builds. Great job B5!

I fitted this to an AR-308 build I completed not too long ago. There's not as lot to go wrong on these A2s. It's a good balance between weight, functionality and cost. Overall, I'd highly recommend an A2 flash hider as a starting point for any build, regardless of caliber.
