X95 Thin Buttpad?
My X95 SBR form 1 approved, but having a hard time finding a thin buttpad anywhere. Any idea where I can find it. Obviously there's official IWI store but it's been OOS.
X95 Barrel Measurements - Consider before free floating
X95 barrel is essentially a pencil profile. The additional cutouts on 2 location making it even skinnier than typical AR pencil profile.
If you're considering to remove the factory hand guard and install aftermarket like Manticore Optimus or Blk Lbl, you'll have about 8.25" of skinny barrel that's unsupported. The barrel is still rigid, but if you shoot suppressed, you can add up to 1lb of weight all the way at the end. The barrel gets very hot due to its thinness so POI can shift especially suppressed.
This might also explain some accuracy issue people reported. Free floating it might make it better when shooting cool and unsupporessed, but if you have a couple mags in, things might change.

Technical video for the bullpup nerd
Found this gem of a video. Not some guntuber shilling gears, purely technical discussion on good bullpup designs. For people who like to go deep and be autistic about this topic.

BRN-4 restock?
Any idea when the BRN4 is coming back? It’s been out of stock for a while. Is the heavy barrel version and the quad rail handguard discontinued?
