Battlement Fab's style radius arms

Post by Unaweep »

Does anyone have the radius arms sold by Battlement Fab? I heard they were pretty good and I'd like to build some.

Of course I know the story on BF and Clint, and Nate who handled the decommissioning of BF is leaving GJ, so I don't know if I could get an idea on how to make them from him.

Any ideas?

I have a set. You're welcome to come take a look if you ever get out this way. I'm also happy to measure, photograph, etc. I think I've got the only set in the Denver area, at least on an EB.

Justin, that would be awesome!

I'll be Denver for the Bronco game on Monday the 28th, I'm arriving that weekend. Id love to come over and take measurements and pictures.

Would that weekend work?

We can definitely set a time. I'm taking a couple of days off that week, so there's good availability. As you firm up your plans let's coordinate.

I think most the pieces can be ordered from Ballistic fab or poly performance. The DOM you can source locally somewhere.

I think he's referencing the fabricated square arms with internal gussets that Clint was making. Not much DOM in those.

I intend to build my new radius arms and would like to see a few aftermarket ones before I start. The Battlement ones had a good reputation.

Come look at mine and we can talk design. I know how I'd do mine if I hadn't scored these ones.

Not these?

I guess I didn't realize there were other sets out there.

Those look awesome. I have a lot to learn on the different setups, pro's and con's of each.

I'd forgotten he did that style too.
