This week you get to see me eat a little bit of crow as I finally come around from being a dinosaur to embracing the new hotness. Well, maybe not the newest hotness. But I am finally going to admit that something we started to see about 10 years ago is an improvement over the default AR-15 design.

Burris designed the Spea Bead to be an optic mounting solution that doesn’t require a tapped receiver.
