I took off 1 star because the hand guard didn't fit my 580 Series Mini 14 when I first tried to install it. The thickness and shape of the collar on the handguard that fits under the front part of the rifle was too thick and required some minor sanding and an Xacto knife. It wasn't difficult and the work is un-noticeable when installed. It looks great, the clip fit perfectly, and I'm very happy with the results. This is how the Mini 14 should have come from the factory! Worth every penny.

Sweet barrel that makes for a very lightweight and maneuverable rifle. The length of the barrel is wonderful and the open sights are extremely useable. The installation was just as they described. I had to sand off most of the coating and I heated the receiver with a heat gun to make it easier to install. I also used the TacSol V-Block which is much nicer than the Ruger one. It's nice and tight, just the right amount. The fit is perfect and I've had no problems using all kinds of ammo without any issues. I'd recommend this barrel to anyone who is watching the weight of their build, or just wants something that's easy to carry and very accurate. It makes me want to get the Tac Sol Receiver too!

I bought this stock on the recommendations of lots of 10/22 users and it definitely lives up to the hype. The ability to change the fit was the most important feature for me. I was reluctant at first because of the lack of accessories like cheek pads, QD hardware, etc., but after receiving and using this stock, I'm totally OK without all that stuff. It's easier to add hardware than it is to take it off, and I love how there's nothing on it that I don't need. I'll put up with the extra cost for the few accessories I do need.
My favorite feature is the nice stippling and ridges on the grip. It gives a very grippy purchase when holding the gun, and makes it easy to carry without a strap. Whatever material the stock is made of, it's very stiff and solid feeling. I love the FDE color!
I'm not a huge M-Lok fan, but it does make a very clean mount for accessories. The only problem I have is that I can't use the M-Lok accessories with my other rifles (and I hate using adapters).
