Aero Precision A2 Detachable Carry Handle
Ill say whats good about this carry handle first. Its mil-spec(measured shelf height), it looks good with a nice flat black anodizing thats even and free of blemishes, when clamped to an upper receiver the front lines up with the receiver perfectly, rear sight assembly is mil-spec and high quality, the windage knob has nice positive clicks as does the elevation drum.
Now the bad. The hole cut in to the handle for the rear sight assembly is too large and rough. It allows the rear sight assembly to tilt rearward considerably. Due to the oversized hole and the roughness from when it was cut when you try to use the elevation drum it binds. Raising the rear sight assembly feels rough and you can feel "pressure" on the drum as you turn it. However lowering the rear sight is where the big problem is. The sight is so canted in the rough cut hole that it us very difficult to rotate the elevation drum. I tried oiling it despite it coming very greased but it didnt help. Its so hard to lower you really cant feel the clicks and pushing down and forward is nessisary when you get about one rotation from fully lowered. Also, due to the above issues the rear sight will sometimes twist to the right when elevating and stick there instead of returning to a left twist like its supposed to because of the spring and detent built in to the rear sight assembly.
It is possible I got a very defective one but I should never have received this handle in the fiest place. The problem is so blatantly obvi

Decent budget 2 stage.
Written on Mar 30, 2024
Definitely not a Geissele but for a budget build or if you want to try out a 2 stage before dropping the big bucks this trigger will do. Its a bit heavy for a 2 stage but the take up is smooth and breaks clean. Had a little trouble with mine not resetting every time but after a hundred rounds or so it seemed to "break in". For the price its not bad. Just set your expectations accordingly.

Manufacturer of OEM Colt fire control parts

Schmid Inside Gi Style Fire Control Group
Bought this kit to replace the FCG in my Colt 6920. Schmid has been making the fire control parts for Colt (both the semi auto and select fire parts) for many, many years. At least till CZ bought Colt. Theres nothing special about the feel. It has the typical creep, hqrd break and strong reset. Its the quality and durability that makes this kit great.

Time tested solid stock.

B5 Systems Sopmod Stock - Govt Version
What can I say? It's a solid gen 1 SOPMOD stock.
Wether you are building a block 1 clone pr just want a good stock with batt storage this will do the trick. Excellent cheek weld and rubber butt pad softens recoil.
I only gave it 4 stars for one reason. It has a little looseness when fully extended. Older molds of this stock are known for a snug fit on USGI reciever extensions. The stock I got fits well but when fully extended has a little wobble. Fully collapsed it is snug. Tried it out on 2 Colt buffer tubes and 2 BCM buffer tubes and fit was the same on all. Build date on my stock is 2021. The mold for these stocks have been around for nearly 2 decades. Like plastic model kits molds over time "wear out". Wobble isn't bad on mine but is noticeable when compared to my Gen 2 enhanced SOPMOD stock.
Just keep that in mind when ordering.
