Underwood Ammo 10mm Auto 155 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point Nickel Plated Brass Cased Pistol Ammunition
I started shooting 10mm in a variety of platforms recently... Glock 40, FN510, Kriss Vector and even a S&W 610 Mountain Gun revolver. This ammo performs flawlessly in all of them. Excellent recoil characteristics and great accuracy in a high powered handgun cartridge. Will definitely buy again.

Perfect for a lightweight build
Written on Apr 08, 2022
These were a perfect addition to a prototype ultralight AR-10 build where every ounce counts. This and all the other titanium parts helped to shave 3 pounds off the total build! While this part doesn’t make or break the build, every part adds to the total mass. More importantly they perform exactly like the comparable steel products in a standard build.

Timney Triggers AR-10 Competition Trigger
I have installed an awful lot of triggers in my 50 years, some good some bad. You will hear an awful lot of hype about certain trigger manufacturers and Newfangled technology. I have tried them all. Some work well, some don’t work at all and some aren’t worth the hype. One thing I can tell you without reservation is that Timney delivers on promises, creates an exceptional and reliable product and will not disappoint.

V Seven Titanium Mag Catch/Release
I purchased this part for an ultralight AR 10 build. The quality is without peer and everything I have gotten from V7 has been exceptional. This was the perfect addition to reduce weight without compromising strength and performance. Very happy!

JL Billet V.P.R..308 Muzzle Brake
Bought this for a lightweight .308 build. The brake works great, looks fantastic and adds minimal weight to the barrel. The raw polished titanium look is very space-age. Product came complete with a quality crush washer and was very easy to install and clock.

The only bipod I use for competition
Written on Jan 08, 2021
I own a number of bipods on scoped rifle, but it is Atlas that I go to when I want predictable stability, quality and repeatability when I'm trying to put points on the board. This unit is perfect for my shooting style.

SureFire M600AAV Scout Light LED Weapon
Surefire hit a home run on this one. Perfect illuminator for my NVG helmet rig. Reliable on/off switch, multiple modes and high output in visible and IR modes means you’ll control the situation regardless of ambient light levels.

Team Wendy EXFIL Rail 3.0 Ballistic Helmet
There is simply no rival for Team Wendy. I’ve tried a bunch of tactical helmets ranging from polymer bump helmets to actual ballistic material military grade helmets. The TW EXFIL is simply the most comfortable helmet I have ever worn. Highly recommended, compatible with all sorts of attachments and one of the best strap systems available. Don’t cut corners when buying a helmet. Your life could depend on it.

Perfect low profile stock for AR-based bolt gun
Written on Nov 11, 2020
I installed this onto a Nemesis Arms bolt-action .308 with buffer tube. It is light weight and low profile... perfect for packing down into travel pack while reducing weight and thickness. It is sturdy and handles recoil much better than I expected. Excellent product. Highly recommended. I would recommend anyone purchasing this also consider the optional modular cheek riser in order to achieve proper cheek weld and eye relief.

Rock solid build parts from Spikes

Spikes Tactical Melonited Gas Tube
As with most Spikes products, this does not disappoint. Although its function is simple, and a lot of folks will tend to skimp on gas tubes thinking that all are created equal, don't go with cheap junk. This product arrived on time and as advertised. The melonite finish quality is excellent and uniform - perfect for a fully blacked out look. The ends are polished smooth with no edges or burs and the drift pin hole is precisely placed. The interior finish is also excellent which will help to mitigate build up of carbon deposits and unburnt powder residues. Straightforward, simple and high quality. Can't go wrong.
