AP Armor Size Help


Recommended Posts

Also. Since on the subject of my left leg....

 

The knee plate.

It is perfectly straight. Looks great from front.

Lines up and looks great from the outside (left side).

However, the inside (right side) is not aligned with the top of the shin. I tried a little heat and bend but this causes the corner ( where knee plate starts to go vertical) to bow out and puts a lot of stress on the rest of the knee plate. Is this a problem? If so, suggestions please!

Shouldn't be an issue for base approval.

 

On an angle on the front appears to be standard with AP if you want the sides to meet up. Ultimately that will be up to the @Deployment Officer Team for higher levels.

 

Here's a few Centurion AP sniper plates for comparison.

I have added mobility cuts already. The left thigh with the cuts is pictured in a recent previous post. Even with this cut it is difficult to move. I can not remove anymore without impacting my eligibility for L2/L3. 

Missed that.

 

I still think you should look at positioning your shins lower on your boots, they are sitting vey high on the ankle. At times a little heat is needed to help open up the base so it sits lower on the boot.

The problem is, he removed 2" from total shin circumference making them really narrow at the ankle.
