Lets see some Hinderer action

Big thank you to whitty whitty and Ellen at USAMadeBlade for excellent service and throwing in some swag. I mentioned earlier that I was on the fence about the WF scale on my stonewash XM-18. Scott had a textured SW scale in stock and I jumped on it. Shipped the same day and was delivered to me this morning, a day early. I installed it straight away.

Until a couple of weeks ago, I didn't even know RHK offered backspacers for the XM-18. When installing, I was impressed with the tight tolerances. In fact, I had to smooth the holes with a small round diamond file for the bs to slide into the nuts. No big deal.

It’s an early model Rick made himself called the Flame. I showed it to him at Bladeshow a few weeks ago and he really appreciated me bringing it to show him. He made it in 2005 before the XM-18 production. From what I’ve learned, they are nearly impossible to find, especially in new condition.
