I recently bought one of these for my AR15, now living in the UK it did cost a bit more to buy, and I was worried about that. However after opening the box I can say it was worth every penny. I giggled at the weight of it, weighs nothing, the installation wrench seems to weigh more! My AR15 is so much more managable with it on. The finish is show grade too!
