The BFS from Franklin is probably one of the best near matches to milspec with the added advantage of binary mode. It has a great pull and crisp snap with little take up. Easy to install and doesn't require additional modifications.

I actually bought this to place on a 450 Bushmaster, thinking that 2MOA was plenty and since sight wouldn't be an issue, I own the OPMOD. ;) - I was building a 7.62x39, had it in my vice and saw it on the table and decided to go sight the 7.62x39 in and also , since I figured the rifle would likely be sloppy; with TulAmmo, I wwent to the Range -
POW, WOW! - This sight is very tight, as well as the gun - I was impressed - the 7.62x39 was able to keep the rounds in a 1.73 inch circle, and the more I shot, the bigger that same hole got - less paper and more hole.
The OPMOD adjustments were needed twice, I didn't bring the booklet so, I went with what I thought was 1/2" at 100, and was off - I adjusted 8 clicks, and that ended up moving me half my needed - 8 more and I was dead in the bull at 100 yards. Figure that's about 2" low at 50 or, 1.5 at 50 to be Dead On at 100 -
This changed my mind on red-dot as a viable long range, within the limits of ones eyes, the 2MOA wasn't washed out or stray... It is very crisp - I have long range loss of sight so, with glasses, there are no issues at all. Someones with close range loss, may want to test it before using glasses or, without glasses - since the human eye would attempt to adjust the dot being close, there are no adjustments in the tunnel - what you see is what you get.
I was reluctant with the new battery option, and when I got mine, it was 101 degree in TX, and was outside and hot - the battery that came with it, lost eno

Greatly improve the sound footprint and kills the dragging squeaks of a common buffer tube spring. Cuts sound more than half and doesn't require special tools to install. Very good spring and keeps its memory even under extreme automatic use.

I nearly bought the Geissele SSA trigger - after a few videos and some thought, I opted for the Del-Ton - Glad I did.
The Del-Ton Two Stage installed in my lower has a pull around 3LB every time.
The break is amazingly crisp - nearly too crisp.
Hammer speed and power is on par with many others.
The reset is really smooth, less uptake that I thought from others videos - Very refined.
Although the Geissele needed slave pins to install, this has a captured retainer on the disconnector so, you don't have to worry about it popping out. If you want to play with springs, and dial your's in, you may want to know this.
The only areas that I could find to dial in where the sides of the cams that touch the inside of the lower walls - I usually polish mine, even the MilSpecs and then install, these already had a decent slick coating on them so, I left them with it. I injected Aroshel33 into the pin holes, and installed this on Anti-Rotation pins - It's as exact as you can get. The Lyman trigger gauge pulls around 3lb each try, the LowrsDigital pulls at 3.1LB thru 3.33LB, very consistent.
I now plan on buying 3 more sets..

I have other mounts that have 20MOA but, none this stable and repeatable. The AD Recon gives trouble free installation and drop on repeatability. Very sturdy construction and doesn't pull way from the base like Nikon XR and others similar - Price point makes this a win for most mid range to high end optics.

This one fits on the .750 and the barrel behind it, is nearly the same thickness so, the drop off is almost not there. Fits like a glove, close and tight - has 2 very tough harden grade Allen heads , the shelf for these are finer threads to allow a very tight fit - Metal seems really strong. Adjustment is a jam style so, you can adjust till the system works, when you place the second seal on, no need to turn that extra 1/4 turn, there will be enough gas getting by one, not the second - Really tight seal.

I actually bought this one on purpose because the lower metal sling band mount is metal and, I found that it was connected via an Allen head in the rear of the butt-pad lower. Since this all is really tough hardware and has a hole already in a metal object, I was able to use it as a template to create me a make-shift "Accu-pod" device to place on the rear and use for fine adjustments on the rear with a rest. This worked very well, the stock has all the best features plus a few more I wasn't aware of...
* The compartment can be swapped to the other side.
* The compartment has a rubber seal so, its water tight when latched.
* It actually comes with the wrench that will move the compartment inside the compartment so, if you have others that you can grid off a little,there is room.
I didn't find it to be any less tight than the standard G.I. MilSpec that it replaced and with the rubber pad and built in sling swivel, it is really great.
I did see that it has an odd swivel QD; I modified mine and it will now work with either type. (Created a Mod-QD-2-MagPul-QD adapter with a standard ball-push-pin)
So far, I like it.
The modifications worked really well for fine shooting and It addresses the cost of a real Accupod by being less than a 1/4 of the price of the accu-pod...

I have a few of these and all do pretty well. Most shoot into less than an inch at 100 yards. I rigorously test and shoot string sets, allow to cool and then work on the best round matching each gun. This is far and away one of the best barrels that I have even fired in a test group to compare rounds. The only problem, every round in 55gr up through 77gr worked well, too well - 60gr - 64gr ended up being near one hole in the 100 yard shootout. The match grade federal 77gr was nearly a nickel at 100 yards, and still able to place them in a quarter at 200 yards. I've gained a new respect for what Odin works is doing - so much that I am ready for another test on the 6.5 Grendel. Cannot say enough about this 223 barrel.
