A Look at Some THRiL AR15 Accessories

THRiL USA takes pride in producing products that are of the highest quality and functionality. So we were pleased to receive high marks on a couple of recent video reviews from the gun gurus at Beyond Seclusion. Beyond Seclusion field tests the Combat Competition Stock (CCS) Buttstock, PMX 30-Round Magazine, and Rugged Tactical Grip (RTG) and had some great things to say about THRiL’s AR15 furniture.

Also, see below for a special mention from Brandon at Texas Plinking! Brandon did a field test on the new SXT Dark Earth from Del-Ton using some of the THRiL AR15 accessories.

Beyond Seclusion Review

Beyond Seclusion gave THRiL high praise for all three products: CCS buttstock, RTG grip, and PMX 30-round magazine. Starting with the CCS buttstock, he was impressed by the snag-free design. What Drew really loved on the CCS though, was the two ambidextrous QD attachment points since he is such a proponent of the quick attachment style. 

Competitor buttstocks tend to be wobbly and noisy. Drew noted this and mentioned that he really likes the near-zero wobble of the CCS buttstock, and the fact that it is compatible with mil-spec buffer tubes (the CCS buttstock only fits mil-spec buffer tubes).

Drew absolutely loves the RTG grip and he let THRiL USA know! He is such a fan, he replaced the grips on nearly all his AR15s. The thing Drew liked most about it was the ergonomic 19.5-degree angle and the thinner profile, which he says fits smaller and medium hands better. Beyond Seclusion’s choice was THRiL USA’s RTG grip over competitor brands.

On the PMX 30-round mag, Drew liked the solid construction with the rubberized strike plate. He also really liked the high-visibility, red-colored follower, and stainless-steel spring. As mentioned, it makes it more obvious when the mag is empty and the breach is open. While the PMX’s saw-tooth textured finger-grip appeals to shooters who like to hold the magazine with their support hand, this was not a personal benefit for Beyond Seclusion.

Running a magazine dump on his SBR, Drew finished off his review remarking the CCS was a flawless magazine.

Special Mentions from Texas Plinking

Brandon at Texas Plinking did a field test on the new SXT Dark Earth from Del-Ton using THRiL AR15 accessories. For his test, he decided to do something a little different and trick the SXT out as a Three Gun competition gun. He replaced the stock trigger, added the appropriate glass, and replaced some of the stock furniture using THRiL parts.

Specifically, he added the CCS buttstock, RTG grip, and PMX 30-round magazine to the SXT Dark Earth. He echoed the sentiments of Beyond Seclusion, calling the CCS “very solid,” and that it “feels very, very good.” You gotta love that “no wobble!”

Brandon also remarked that he really liked the RTG grip. He said it “has a nice slant to it” and that the “texturing is really, really strong so you won’t lose your grip on it,” and that it “is very rough, but you not going to mar your hand.”

Thanks Brandon!

THRiL USA would like to thank Beyond Seclusion, and Texas Plinking for their excitement about these products and rave reviews on our THRiL AR15 accessories. Check out their YouTube channels and reviews of everything firearms and outdoors!

NEW 2020 Ar Accessories | THRiL PMX AR Magazines, RTG Tactical Grip, and CCS Combat Competition Stock

NEW 2020 AR Accessories at SHOT Show | THRiL AR mag, RTG Grip, CCS Competition Stock


Matt from THRiL showed off some of his company’s new AR furniture and magazines at Shot Show 2020 with ar15.com. Here we’ll do a quick breakdown of their current and future offerings.

The THRiL RTG Grip

The RTG or “Rugged Tactical Grip” sports an ergonomic, fluid, and aesthetically pleasing design. It carries exactly what it needs to as far as a replacement for the standard A2 pistol grip.

The grip is aggressively laser textured and formed as part of the polymer molding process during its manufacturing, giving it excellent feedback while promoting responsive weapon movements and improved agility. The texture was described as “almost skateboard grip tape” in feel.

The overall design of the pistol grip is simplistic and effective, and with a price point of $16.99, it compares well against other competitors. The pistol grip currently ships from their site in Black, Flat Dark Earth and Gray.

The THRiL PMX AR Magazine

Their 5.56 x 45mm 30rd AR magazine offering is constructed of a durable fiberglass nylon polymer, with an ergonomically designed spine and checkered texture for better grip upon insertion into the weapon. The mag also has finger grooves for better overall grip, and reverse texture to help with pouch extraction. This magazine really lines up the needs of shooters who compete and need as much edge as possible on their loading and reloading speed.

The rubber over molded floor plate on the bottom of the magazine helps with durability when mags are dropped and adds some extra grip as well. The PMX currently sells for $13.49 on their website, and ships in the same three colors as their pistol grip; Black, Flat Dark Earth and Gray.

The CCS Combat Competition Stock

With a very SOPMOD style design, the CCS Combat Competition Stock catches your eye immediately as a practical and aesthetically pleasing design. The cheek weld is pronounced and void of possible beard-hair traps, which are generally viewed as a design flaw on many other stocks that attempt to provide cheek weld.

Throughout the stock there are multiple choices for sling attachment points, including a QD swivel button mount, as well as three sling slots. This allows shooters multiple configurations and gives practical combat shooters the options they need to carry as well. The stock is adjustable, leaving availability to shooters to change length as needed.

Overall the stock provides all of the options that its competitors do while also maintaining a sleek design and leaving bulk out of the picture. The current MSRP on their website is $57.99 in the same three colors for the PMX and the RTG.

Some of the exciting new mag options that were revealed as well were the SM9 MPX 9mm magazine and the PMX 22LR 25rnd Magazine, both of which feature a similar design and thought process that went into the PMX AR magazine. The expected release date for the SM9 magazine on their website is March 31st, 2020, and the PMX 22 magazine is expected to be released sometime in the summer of 2020.
