has extra features made well
Written on Mar 23, 2026
Made with 7075 Aluminum. Very smooth inside and out. Stock fits tight. Anti tilt is extra long and smoothed into the tube. Ramp on end makes it easy to install stock. Only issue is the coating on the bottom inside the tube just wipes off to leave bare aluminum. I tried some other brand tubes and they had the same issue. I do t know if this will become a problem eventually with the steel spring wearing through. Fortunately my set up does allow for a thin steel washer insert at the bottom so should reduce the wear.
Not hard anodized other than that they are well made

The tube is coated with something other than hard anodizing. It was nice looking on the outside but the inside bottom of the tube was raw aluminum where the end of the steel spring seats. I worry it will wear through over time so I sent it back. The owner of Mitchell defense sent a new one to replace it. The new one. looked like it was coated but it was not hard and just wiped off when I installed the spring into it. Sent that back too. Bought a different brand.The tube was well made other than that. They need to get their tubes anodized rather than whatever they are coating them with.
comfortable and configurable. will crack if you overtighten T nuts is why 4 stars.

Strike Industries Link Hand Stop Kit
I like these for all hex rails but not for round rails. Is laterally strong. Be careful when tightening T nuts because there is some space under the handstop allowing the polymer to crack.
perfect for round handguards and hexagonal.1 slot or bridge 2. 1 screw install

TacFire Gen 2 M-LOK One Slot Handstop
I absolutely love these. Identical to the BAD branded. I have both. One of the narrowest shortest hand stops on the market. Very smooth all over including edges. The screw is toward the back and under the stop has a protrusion that fits into the mlok to keep in place. Anodizing is perfect.: lightweight.

1 piece bolt catch Great fit, finish and functional.
Written on Dec 14, 2023
I like these extended bolt catches a lot. Installed on 1 forged and 2 billet AR15 lowers. great fitting strong metal and functional. I like that these are 1 piece that completely replaces the mil spec bolt catch. The black finish is even and hard.

Strike Industries AR-10 Shift Takedown Pins
It is very easy to put the pivot pin without tools. The rear take down pin is easy enough ti install without the shift pin design so IMO it is unnecessary to use this specialty pin. I would rather have saved a few bucks and had a regular takedown pin or in the package instead. Unfortunately this is the only AR10 LR308 pin set they had. I would have preferred a lightweight aluminum set like I have in my AR15s.)

detent holes drilled so deep it won’t turn 45 & 90 not usable
Written on Jan 08, 2023
I really like the design of the levers on this safety but it won’t turn when you put the detent in . Even without spring tension. Both the 45 and 90 are drilled too deep and too much material left in between to allow the detent to slide from side to side. Could not even fix it with a dremel tool. IMO Leapers UTG should recall this batch and send out a new properly made barrel to everyone that got an unusable part.
3mm too wide levers not parallel
Written on Dec 12, 2022
Love the shape of the levers but the mechanism is 3mm wider than mil spec lower ar15 & ar10 dpms. Levers also flaired out to be a total of 5mm wider than the lowers I tried it on. Sending back for refund and trying another brand.

ripples inside of tube and rough feeling. outside nice. looks cool.
Written on Dec 12, 2022
Quality control issue? My tube looked awesome on the outside but was rippled inside where the threaded portion is and the inside was like 320 grit sandpaper. I have a $10 no name tube thats as smooth and slick as glass. You don’t always get what you pay for!

Better choices don’t waist your money imo
Written on Dec 10, 2022
Does not have the wider sides of most guards that fit flush to outside of the receiver. The front connector is a one sided spring loaded pin. The rear is a roll pin. Most of the extra space is directly below the trigger if straight shoe is used not to the front lower portion where it is most needed. If you have a curved trigger it gives a lot of room for gloved finger
