The key to a truly successful Lithium-ion battery installation, for those looking to go for newer battery technology or even go the whole hog and convert to an electric boat, is to use top-quality Lithium-ion cells with an equally top-notch battery monitoring system (BMS).

OLIght Odin mounted on Radical Firearms 458 SOCOM
U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)-OLight has a new tactical flashlight out called the Odin that throws an impressive 2000 Lumens as far as 300 meters. They sent us one to test and evaluate and we mounted it on a homebuilt AR. They are currently running a sale on it here.
The Rifle
This was a special kind of build. The lower receiver is a billet Battle Born lower made about 10 years ago by US Firearms Academy in Reno, Nevada, and is one of my favorite lowers to build a rifle on. The lower receiver parts kit was sourced from different manufacturers as LPKs were extremely difficult as I literally took possession of the lower on December 11, 2012; the day before the tragic events of Sandy Hook, and LPKs were gone from everywhere.
