This has to be the worst trigger I've ever used. Sure it does super safety stuff, but there's no excuse for the amount of grit and chop this trigger exhibits... none. There are multiple metal parts rubbing against each other in the assembly causing this. On top of this, the finish on the trigger shoe and black metal parts has exposed metal at the edges. Quality control is simply not a thing with this company, apparently. Extremely disappointed... even the cheap trigger that came with a $450 AR feels better than this.

Wilson Combat billet lower. Rear pin is just a teeny bit too long when pulled out resulting in a slight bit too much pin still inside the lower cavity causing an obstruction to remove/close the upper. Additionally, on a AR308/AR10, these extended pins get in the way of ambi-safety operation a lot -- doesn't stop an ambi from working, but is in the way where you naturally want to slide your finger.

I tried with two different triggers and still the included safety operates normally when the gun is cocked and locked but ALSO operates after firing. The safety should not operate (go to safe) when the gun isn't cocked and this indicates something in the design is out of tolerance. I have a hard time trusting it and will quickly be changing it for something more trustworthy. I'm not so much annoyed it will go into SAFE when it's not cocked but it causes the BCG to bind and the trigger to, hard to explain, feel like you're griding over the safety somehow. I can't help but think it will eventually wear and/or break. Additionally, the rear pin in my kit was oversized in diameter vs. milspec and weirdly long (sticking out more than the front pin on the left side of the gun. The front one was slightly smaller and fit perfectly (correct milspec nearly exactly). These tolerances are not to be messed with, it is the prime standard, and the lower these parts are going into is a high end billet unit. Everything else that came in this kit is fine... but those things are always fine in any LPK. This was my first Strike product and it will be my last.

Huge gas shelf/wall which is unheard of for the price. Big grippy ambi handles. Where you can tell you're not paying Geissele or Radian money is that, at least on mine, if you slowly actuate a handle, you can hear what sounds like a spring twisting or something. I can hear "sounds" from even my Geissele handle when I pull on the right handle only, but it's a more refined feeling unit than the Wolfpack. That said, I'm not paying Geissele money for a charging handle if this is available for far less and is (near as makes no difference) just as functional in moving the BCG and mitigating gas.

The only major flaw with this light is the included mount pushes the light off the rail a little more than I'd prefer. But the advantage of the mount is you can quickly detach the light to use as a regular flashlight. It seems to hold true when shooting so far. I am not an operator nor is this particular firearm used all that often, so wasn't interested in spending a fortune on... a flashlight. This is going to do the job of CQB lighting NO PROBLEM.

I decided on this instead of a regular combat rail, and I regret it. The combat rails I have on other ARs are extremely comfortable to hold. The edges are well machined/almost rounded. On this lightweight model, the mix of it being quite thin and lack of similar "rounded edges" makes this uncomfortable enough to hold that I put on those Magpul Type 2 clip-on rail covers... which probably add all the weight I was saving right back. Is it a quality handrail? Yes. Is it really worth it given it's far less comfortable to hold than a regular combat rail? No. Save weight elsewhere...

This is a couple mm "wider" than a standard castle nut, which is nice to cover more of the exposed threads of a buffer tube.

The BCM Mod 3 is more vertical than your usual AR15 grip is the perfect angle and shape for me to create a comfortable, stable hold on the rifle with a natural wrist angle that lines my finger up with the trigger just right. I've tried the even more vertical Die Free Co grip which fills the hand nicely, but is so straight up and down that my palm needs to "detach" from it to be comfortable on the trigger. This is just right and there are no hard edges or unnecessary recesses to create hot spots on your hand. Every other grip I get to try (tried many) has faults compared to the BCM Mod 3. FWIW: I wear a size L glove and use curved or hybrid shoe triggers. The only complaint I have is it's quite hard to get the storage door open, especially initially. It becomes easier to open after 20 or so instances of opening it. Just starts out very tight, which is a good thing... just... frustrating at first.

There are a number of "match-grade" options that a beginner/intermediate in PRS Gas Gun/Quantified Performance (or similar) are going to be considering. Add this load to your list as, frankly, it's all you're going to need and you are probably not good enough to even outshoot this ammo. In two different builds (11.5" Rosco and 16" Critereon barrel), I can get MOA with these being very precise. I can get better groups with the more expensive stuff... but 1MOA is more than sufficient for most any gas gun-related competition aside from something forcing you out to 800+ yards.

You might have caught the couple reviews of this scope on YouTube and thought to yourself... maybe this is a diamond in the rough! It isn't. First of all, it weighs a metric ton. Second of all, the illumination bafflingly attempts to (key words) light up the entire tree in the reticle and does a terrible job of it. Nobody is going to effectively use a reticle tree in the dark, when you can barely actually see the tree illumination, and it's basically not noticeable during the day. The button-activated illumination has 5 settings... this is... fine... you'll actually probably like that over having to spin a dial, especially the dials that make you spin all the way around to turn it off. You'll hate holding the button down for 5 seconds to turn it off... because you'll forget to do so. The center illumination isn't bad, really, even in daylight (you can see it... not well... but you can)... but the tree also being lit up in any condition you can see it creates a ridiculous distraction. Also, the illumination causes the reticle to visually change from sharp to oddly blurred, probably a consequence of the bleed off of the light that spreads to the tree. Illumination is a fail on this. The turrets are tactile, but inconsistently so... there's a defined click on each but some clicks take less effort than another so you find yourself turning past your intended adjustment point every time. For a discounted cost, that's acceptable. Does it track well? Well... shooting out
