i hope to be able to actualy offer the bar armour for sale soon, it has 10 parts to it, more than i wanted but really the bare minimum i could get away with in the moulds.
please tell me what you think.
it is relativley easy to assemble and compared to etched brass quite strong and seems to be game handling friendly as well.

A friend of mine just got back from Afghanistan. He was showing me pictures of an MRAP with an RPG Net installed instead of bar armor - very interesting looking.

He said that both the bar armor and the net were notorious for getting snagged on things as vehicles traveled down the narrow "roads" in the region he was operating in, so they were often torn off or damaged.
