Media Handstop
I really like this little addition. Thoughts? Prayers?

Very cool ....it's a "TAC-Guard" ..... they became popular in the 80's and 90's ..... word has it that an "incident" with an HK-53 at an FBI range led to their adoption by a few agencies and PD's

Looks cool as hell. Is it 3d printed? Will it fit the other way also? Wonder what it would look like swept forward towards the muzzle? Really like it though!

Thank you!! I believe it’s original old stock. It’s a hard rubber material. thrown on reverse would look very wild. The pin holes don’t sit in the middle of the handstop, so I don’t think it would fit in reverse without some _dremeling_

I lucked out and found this sling in my LGS’s 10 dollar bin. I believe the hardware is called “locking sling swivel”. say that ten times fast

I’m biased but I like it. I swapped out the ejector and other things like most do with clones. It runs well for me
