theisaac Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 are your arms too big or too small? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kessel Run[TK] Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) My biceps are to big, 18 inchs, having to shim the armor out some, and flare the inside top edges out a little to keep a minimal return edge.

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 This is a quote fromt the second thread I posted above from the DO " These numbers are not set in stone, and those odd numbers you mention are a result of a metric > imperial > metric conversion. I use 15 and 20 mm respectively. It should however be somewhere around those figures, unless you need bigger for your larger frame ".

theisaac Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) http://www.whitearmo...icture-heavyam/ My arms are similar in size. Page 2 and 3 you can see how I shimmed mine to fit me. If you want to post some pics of where you are at with your build, we can suggest some sound solutions for ya buddy.
