I bought these to help keep the heat down on my Midwest Industries handguard after a previous range session got the handguard warm enough to be annoying to hold. These definitely help keep the heat down as well as increased grip texture so they worked out perfectly for me.

Phenomenal Handguard
Written on Sep 02, 2020
Got this handguard for my brother as part of the process of removing his fixed A2 front sight/gas block. He absolutely loves it, while this was his first experience with Midwest handguards, i have been using them for years. They always mate up nicely with whichever upper i've used and the installation process is always trouble free. Their antirotation ears built into the handguard are a great feature as well as the locking tab prevents forward movement of the handguard over time. Overall a superb product you will be happy with for years to come.

Great Drop-in Option

RISE Armament Rave 140 AR Drop-In Trigger
I've used numerous RA-140s in past builds and wanted to try the improved Rave 140. First thing i noticed is the trigger shape is much better overall. Not that the RA-140s were bad they just didn't feel as good around the finger as some others. The Rave definitely fixed this. I also find the reset to be just a touch more tactile and noticeable then the previous version. So far i am impressed with this version and plan to use them in future builds.

Guntec USA AR-15 5.5in Fake Suppressor
Bought this as a place holder for an eventual suppressor due to having a handguard that extends farther then a standard muzzle device. Great fit and finish, my only complaint is the writing is upside down when installed, not sure why they designed it that way.

Great Adjustable GB
Written on May 24, 2020
Been using these on a few builds and have always had good luck with them. Nice snug fit over the barrel. Positive click for each adjustment is a nice feature and makes it easier to keep track of your adjustments. Highly recommend.

Solid Sight Tool from Wheeler
Written on Apr 25, 2019
Great quality item, solid construction. Used a couple times already and works great. I do recommend lubing the sights for installation. Makes it easier and watched a couple youtube videos before seeing this tip. Wheeler makes great products and yet another item i am satisfied with from them.

High Quality

Review for
V Seven Hybrid 57 Degree Selector
Highly recommend this product if you are looking for a standard looking, non ambidextrous safety selector with the benefit of less then 90 degree selector throw. Great fit and finish and solid feel when using. It also weighs less then a standard mil spec selector which is another benefit especially if looking for a light weight build.

Nice quality item
Written on Nov 04, 2018
Bought this for use in USPSA production competition. Meets all the requirements for being able to use. Nice construction. I like the ability to tighten or loosen the tension screws for how snug you want it to be on your gun at any given time. Also can be used with 1.5 or 2” belts.

Faxon Pencil Barrel- My #1 choice for light weight builds
Written on Jul 10, 2018
Purchased this for my light weight AR-15 build. I can not express how much i recommend this for any light weight builds. The weight alone compared to other barrels is going to really help especially if you are wanting a rifle with a legal 16" barrel. The finish and coating is high quality and at a very reasonable price. As Faxon states on their website their barrels are used by other manufacturers for use in light weight builds and i can see why. You will not be disappointed with this purchase. Another benefit i found is Faxon actually gives you instructions with the barrel for the approved break in period which i found handy.
