What Reviewers Are Saying
Product Quality

Most reviewers appreciate the quality and appearance of the slip ring, highlighting its nice finish and functionality. However, there are concerns about its durability, as many have noted that it can easily get scratched or dented during use, indicating a need for improvement in material strength.
Fragility
60%
Several users express frustration over the slip ring's vulnerability to damage during installation, especially when using a barrel nut wrench. This has led to multiple reports of dings and dents, suggesting that the material may not be robust enough for heavy-duty use.

Reviewers commonly mention difficulties encountered during installation, particularly related to the slipping of tools that can result in damaging the slip ring. This has prompted some customers to order extra units to account for potential damage during builds.
Finish Options

There are mixed feelings about the slip ring's deep black finish, with some users wanting more options that would match their builds better. This suggests that while the quality is acknowledged, the aesthetic choices could be expanded.

Looks good on my rifles
I do like how these look once you get them installed. I do wish Brownells offered them with a knurled surface finish though the slotted rings look good as well. You might want to make them out of a tougher steel rather than aluminum, just my opinion.
