A.R.M.S. #71 Sights – Video Review

I had intended to make a longer review, but I'm unable to do voiceovers at the moment, so I'm just going to go with an "at the range" overview that I filmed last weekend. In my opinion, these sights are less than functional, and the reasons why both the front and rear sights have major problems are very obvious. The front sight's release latch doesn't always return to the "forward and upright" position, meaning that some of the time you want to fold the sight down, you have to physically… Read More

Vltor A5 Stock System Followup

After 4 months with the Vltor A5, I have found that it just works - with everything. Every possible 5.56mm upper, and many other calibers, have been tested with the A5, and the results are always more than satisfactory. It builds on the reliability of the rifle buffer system while expanding the length of pull range of the traditional collapsible stock system. In addition, it offers increased durability when longer stocks such as the Vltor EMod or Magpul ACS are used.
