Have a radian on every build I own. They are by far the best charger in the market and have quickly become the gold standard. Definitely prefer the SD over other brands ‘gas buster’ style charging handles and find that the gas mitigation is actually very noticeable and not the gimmick some state it is. Can’t recommend them enough, especially with all the different options available.

I was very happy with my purchase upon initial inspection. I noticed a small amount of the coating in the screw holes for the RMR mount, which should have indicated that I should check the firing pin channel, but I did not. After assembly I could not get the striker to drop fully and assumed that I may have a faulty firing pin channel liner causing the assembly to bind up. After removing my channel liner, I cleaned the channel itself and found a relatively fair amount of excess coating material within the channel which was causing my issue. I cleaned it thoroughly with large cotton swaps and a wooden pick until no excess material came out (only took 2-3 swabs and 1 pick so don’t think it took hours of cleaning or anything). After removing the excess material, my striker would drop as it should every time. Very happy with the slide for the price point. Especially if you can grab it on sale.

Out of all the ARs I have built, I would say that 95% are Aero Precision. Their parts are consistently quality and always fit the build perfectly. Their M4E1 sets are very nice for more upper end builds but the standard AR upper and lowers cannot be beat at the price point! I’ll continue using aero receiver sets unless something groundbreaking pops up.

The days of staking castle nuts is over boys. This thing is the bees knees and I’m slowly converting all my receiver end plates to these guys. Prevent any marring and damage and the machining is always done to top notch quality. Can’t say enough about this. Great investment for $40.

As the title says, these handguards are some of the best on the market. I’d argue top three as far as rigidity and durability goes. The cost is definitely a bit high up front, but Geissele never fails to deliver a quality product.

As with all their products, the fit and finish of this thing is great. It’s ergonomically designed to fit both slimmer profile as well as enhanced profile receivers. I love this thing and can’t rave enough about the improvement this makes over other enhanced or extended catches like Phase 5, Strike, and Magpul.

Just as the title states. I’ve purchased these rings in three separate occasions and have found them to be unsatisfactory every time. The thumb screws strip out before you can get close to the torque recommended by the manufacturer itself. Which tells me that overall, these are sub par. If the screws which affix the scope are stripped or weak, everything on top will be as well.

They always seem to be made to high quality for a fair price as opposed to some of the more expensive options. I feel there aren’t many QD options available where the rings split horizontally. There aren’t a ton of height options available, but more than enough for a flat top AR or similar style chassis rifle.

Faxon always has delivered a quality product that I am left very happy with, especially with the price point you’re usually paying for them. Supporting an American company putting out an amazing product. My barrel always delivers within 1 MOA, even when fed with sub par quality ammunition. Hardest part has been getting your hands in their barrels right now. Keep up the great work!

These things are seriously great. They add both great look and functionality. This model is much heavier duty than the thin one many people use. I’ve bent a set of those. Not these ones tho! Highly recommend, especially for drop in or aftermarket triggers.
