Apparently my ear holes are huge, because these things didn't even come close to sealing, even when pushed in quite deep. Keep that in mind when ordering. I currently use just regular orange foamies that you generally get at ranges, or for free as accessories, and these are most certainly a size skinnier than those. Maybe best suited for children. As far as build quality goes, the plugs themselves seem fine. I bet they would hold up and keep noise out quite well.

Bought this with the intention of also reloading 9mm Luger and 6mm ARC. It should be capable of reloading every cartridge under a certain length, and I think even .308 is still short enough, so it's a solid purchase. The powder measure doesn't leak, all of the parts just fit together well and work.
One thing of note is that you don't buy shell holders for loading, you need to buy entire shell plates for this model. You then disassemble the press and install the new shell plate after taking the old one out. I have zero idea how to do so, but i'll have to do it sooner or later to get to my 6mm ARC loading (Already have plate, dies, powder, bullets, primers, and brass, just need to install).

Before reading review, obviously this is going to be an abnormal experience, but it happened nonetheless, just be aware it SHOULDN'T happen that often.
QC at Spikes must have slipped a bit, the bag with the components is sealed with one of those heat sealing devices that melts the bag to itself. Whoever was on that station that day didn't hold the sealer down long enough, and it just BARELY melted. It was just sticky enough to stick to itself, but it came apart VERY easily. The o ring slipped out of the package at some point between that person sealing the bag, and me receiving the product. It wasn't in the box that was shipped to me, so it fell out earlier than that. They wanted me to RMA and return the entire bag of stuff even after pictures of the failed seal, which I suppose is reasonable enough, but for this cheap of an item i'm not going to bother. I'll just find another o-ring.
The other parts came, and were excellent quality, i'm sure the Oring would have been too.

So I received this, and it's extremely wobbly. I've looked at it for well over an hour and I have absolutely NO clue how to take it apart to attempt to fix the thing. The mount itself is built quite well for the price, and it's adjustable based on the tension you want on your rail. It wobbles about 2mm in either direction when it's snapped into place. If you hit the button and push the magnifier past the point where it lines up with your optic and touches the rail, it can stay sturdy enough and keep the reticle centered enough to use it in an emergency, but unless you get one that doesn't wobble I would just return or throw away.

I've already put 200 rounds through this since I got it, and it has been a WONDERFUL piece of kit. Not a single malfunction the entire time. The coating is slick, and all I need to do is wipe, or occasionally use some cleaner to get carbon off. Would completely recommend!

Couldn't ask for a better flash hider, especially for the price. There's barely ANY flash at all, even in pitch black conditions. I honestly believe that dollar for performance, this is the best flash hider on the market today.

I bought this trigger just a while ago, and it is an absolutely FANTASTIC trigger. It's like snapping an icecicle when you pull the trigger, it's quite incredible feeling for the price. HOWEVER, I tried to fire it while on safe and it actually does fire. It fires now with a 4# pull on safe. I've put my milspec safety back in, still happens. I put my old milspec trigger in, no such issue. Now this may be an adjustment issue with the trigger itself, but the only thing I know is that it fires on safe, and I don't want it on my firearm.

I ended up buying this instead of a Midwest Industries rail because I just didn't have the extra money to spare. It just arrived the other week, and it's amazing looking. The weight is great, the barrel nut is one that doesn't need to be timed which is a HUGE bonus, and it does have anti rotation tabs built in. You can see tooling marks on the ends of the rail under the anodizing, but that's to be expected of course. QD mounts near the rear of the rail would have been nice, but i'm very impressed with the rail. Very comfortable in the hand, and it absolutely DOES come with a barrel nut.
