Yeaaaaaah. Definitely not my brightest idea. So best option at the moment is to buy spall bags for the armor and hope I don’t have to use it before I can buy quality. It was one of those “cheap armor is better than no armor” moments. So I’m gonna probably place an order from hoplite or somewhere similar and just keep my current setup as a truck/car kit.

Working on getting a lot of shit squared away. First picture is the most recent one of my rifle, since this was taken, 45 degree irons have been added and the cable has been taken off and swapped out for a regular end cap. Second was when I got it and all I did was swap out the polymer handguard for the drop in quad rail.

@Crye Salesman initially, it was actually down the handguard and was neatly done with the carbine length guard, then I got the full length and had it like this because I misplaced my regular cap but found it a day or two later.

Nope. Realized that shortly after. My thought process was ease of operation. With it there, being as I’m left handed, when I shouldered my rifle, my finger tips were on the pad and all I had to do to cut it on was squeeze the grip a little harder. Regular button much mo betta though.
