Absolutely recommend! Great quality! Personally I had to do some fitting because I went with a SLR handguard but looks absolutely sick with the gas tube

Outstanding quality for Midwest industries as expected! This gas tube is a 6.5 inch adjustable so it was too long for my VSKA. Optics planets return process was supper simple though! A free return slip was emailed to me and it was back in the mail the next day. Sometimes we pick the wrong parts and optics planet understands that… thanks for the great customer service!
Pros:
- Great quality great service
Cons:
- Does not fit every ak model
Would recommend: Yes

Fit good, it looks like it’s not level but it’s close. The front sight kind of dictates how level it gets because the front sight puts pressure down on it.
Would recommend: Yes

Worked good. Seems like it’s hard to get perfectly level because the front site locks it in place so your kind of stuck with that height
Would recommend: Yes

Out of the box it looked pretty straight forward. But leveling the device was a little hard. I spend maybe 40 mins tinkering with it. Make sure you use the thread lok provided. Over all great product and it co-witnesses with a Romeo 5. Love it.

Definitely a solid item, but it took a while to fit up correctly, spent 2 hours on it and finally got it to work, even though I want to do 4 stars because of the aggravation and time it took me, but it’s definitely worth the money, and it looks very good
Pros:
- Very ergonomic
- modernized
- Tacti-cool
Would recommend: Yes

Lightweight and easy drop in on m85, simple instructions, and just enough pic space (although I wish it had a little more towards the front end) The front end uses two smaller hex screws to lock the nut in place against the front sight/gas tube opening. The placement for those two screws on the bottom is not easy and was impossible for me to screw in as the handguard retainer gets in the way. I dropped a few drops of locktight into the holes and hopefully that can do something, if not I’ll need a special or smaller tool to get those retention screws in.
Would recommend: Yes

Pros:
Looks cool
Provides rail
Cons:
Does not work properly with Vepr 7.62x39 original gas piston
Requires tension screws
Pain in the rear end to remove if you do so often in cleaning or whatnot.
Midwest industries usually makes good stuff. This is subpar.
Would recommend: No
