Every single time I take this AR out, the adjustment screw backs out because the set screw backs out. No matter how much I tighten that set screw... it backs out. 100% of the time I take this rifle out. There is a reason some gas blocks have a second locking screw or have detents... and it is to prevent this. I bought this one because you can adjust it from the side, which makes more sense for most builds, especially suppressed builds. But I should not have to use threadlocker that will burn off anyway on these screws.

Results in a length of pull so long that you'll need to move your scope back significantly to actually see through it. The included buttpad, if you can call it that, is as hard as granite. It is baffling to me that they did not provide a softer buttpad considering the candidate rifle for this type of stock is going to be a heavier caliber, probably an AR10. The cheek riser is entirely unnecessary unless you have a "high" scope mount, which is more common on rifles used for CQB, 2/3-Gun, and Hike/Shoot which are unlikely candidates for this buttstock. One plus is that once it's installed, it's solid. And to install it, you cannot have an end plate that has a QD slot unless you modify the stock.

Completely ruining this scope for me is the fact that the turrets are not labeled with numbers, except for 0. So as a result, they are only useful for zeroing the rifle. When you do set the zero and lift the turret to do so, they wobble and feel like they're going to break off. They feel, in general, from a click and just tactile perspective, like they belong on a cheap hunting scope. This was entirely unexpected for a product released in 2026, for a product that does not have a BDC reticle (where turrets are unlikely to be used at all), and for an EOTECH scope that costs as much as this does. How hard would it have been to at least print the numbers for each MIL advancement? At least then someone who needed to work the turrets for a long range run & gun/hike & shoot type event like me could at least use them on the stages it would be advantageous. Why is it that significantly less expensive scopes come with capped AND labeled turrets (i.e., Vortex, ZeroTech, etc.)? I do not understand what EOTECH was thinking here.

The illumination is not the daylight bright-level you get on the Vortex/Primary Arms scops, but it's good enough to see during the day (at least on my MR5 reticle). Thank goodness adjusting the power/zoom does not spin the entire occular housing -- that is, to me, incredibly annoying on the VUDU 1-10 and above. The MR5 reticle is fine... there are far better "center dot with a circle around it" reticles out there but it's fine - don't hate it, don't lov

I went to the Precision Armament website, which doesn't ever provide the model number of the packet you're buying. You need that M/N if you're going to buy from here. Via internet searching, I found that the AW625 is supposed to be appropriate for my .750 muzzle barrel with 1/2-28" threads. What I received was a packet of shims appropriate for a 5/8-24 barrel that's about .850" and 3x adapters that bring the shim down to the 1/2" inner diameter. What I wanted was a packet of shims that fit snug to 1/2" threads and match very closely to my .750" barrel. You cannot discern that from Optics Planet's description. Precision Armament website suggests this size for my barrel. I'm not putting shims on my rifle that have a significantly bigger diameter than the barrel shoulder... that looks stupid, they cannot be kept centered if you torque the muzzle device down, etc.

The product descriptions here need to provide the actual outer diameter of the shims. I now have to return these, probably at my expense.

I have a tendency to want to move my buttstock during Hike & Shoot competition. I have to come off the gun to do so with other stocks. This one, I just grip it and move it. Really disappointing Magpul makes decisions like not including a sling cup on this one (yet another "cheap out" from a gun parts company), but you can add it if you want. Very happy with the stock overall.

Wolf Gray is a sort of distressed, blackened concrete look. Unless you have your rifle cerakoted in something matte silver/gray/concrete, it will clash. It clashes a lot with the usual black of the upper receiver to the point that I returned it and got the other color, which matches pretty closely Geissele DDC. What I would give for a dark silver scope mount that matches the Radian NP3 charging handle... hint.

It'll work. I could do without OPMOD written on it. Are these B-stock from Vortex, though? I ask because the ring tops do not line up to the ring bottom when installed. It also needed to be lapped in order to not scratch the scope tube... there was uneven pressure. My other Vortex mount of the same ilk (just not OPMOD) is perfect. Both this mount and the other mount I have have a design flaw where if you try to remove the scope, the clamp will not back off and you have to entirely remove the clamp. Annoying, but you live with it.

Pull weight feels the same more or less as my other 2/2.5 lbs. AR triggers from other manufacturers. The break is not exactly what I would call "glass-like" but it's very good. When you're used to a Geissele SSA-E or the higher end Hiperfire triggers, you'll be able to tell this has a more "clunky" feel to the pull. It's not so much creep but it doesn't feel as glassy through the brake... nothing you will actually ever notice unless you're shooting off a bench intentionally shooting slowly. What you will notice is that the reset feels like it's a mile long and 25% of the time, it hangs up halfway through that reset, especially when you slowly reset your trigger finger. The reset is frankly terrible and disqualifies this as a viable 3-gun/2-gun/race gun trigger as the packaging implies. The rest also doesn't seem to have any assist. You don't need much assist unless you're intentionally trying to get as close to a super safety as possible without having one, but you literally feel like you have to almost coax the trigger back forward... it doesn't follow your finger at the same pace (and, like I said, will want to hang up sometimes). I had to put a little dab of Breakthrough on the contact points on mine to get it to smooth out but it still isn't what I anticipated for something dubbed a "Competition Trigger". I do like the trigger shoe... I didn't think I would like that little kickout on the bottom but it's actually quite comfortable and acts as a great guide. The

This was originally a Rogers Super-Stock. Wilson Combat bought Rogers. Wilson Combat had an opportunity to simply improve the plastic molding work so there is some texture similar to what BCM and Magpul do. Instead, they left it looking cheap, with smooth uneven-colored black (FDE is better) and you can see the plastic seam lines. The lever to tighten up the stock is a great idea, but does not need to be as big and easily gets bumped during just some minor "getting used to it" around the house. Finally, the metal screw for that lever, which you can see in the photos of this, is not a well-coated screw... it's shiny, obvious, and ugly. Oh, and it's so THIN that there's really no chance you're going to be using this with a scope and feel comfortable, especially with that cheap dollar store plastic against your face.

Given what I paid for my 14.6" DDC version, I expected two things: (1) the barrel nut tool would be included and (2) the barrel nut itself would be coated in black or a matching color because it is significantly exposed through the cuts in this lightweight handguard. Instead, I have to buy a tool separately and you can see the almost yellow-ish, ugly barrel nut through the handguard. I expect better attention to detail from Geissele, to be honest. Their normal handguards hide the barrel nut... this one doesn't. This one also costs a lot more. So including a barrel nut that's black or at least not some clashing weird exposed metal color is a fair expectation, let alone the barrel nut tool that even cheap handguards come with.
