FWIW, I just ordered a Slysz bowie backspacer from Mr. S. I figured that
- it was a small amount of $$$
- I used Paypal G+S for a layer of protection
- Sale was through fleabay for another layer of protection
- Shipment was promised within one week; I did not pay for an upgrade.
- I was able to specify the color I wanted; material was either G10 or micarta, my choice
The backspacer came in on time; it is identical in fit and function to factory. I asked for red, and I got red.
Since he delivered so well, when I have saved the cash, I am ordering backspacers in three layers, thin orange, thick red, thin orange, for my Chubby and the Slysz Bowie. Even though he has to create the custom layered G10, his price is reasonable.
The colors mean a lot to me; they are the official representative colors of the cancer I have.
Again: purely FWIW, and YMMV. I have no affiliation with Mr. S other than what I have listed in this post as a customer. I never ordered from him prior to this, but nobody else offered this service, and my clock goes Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.
Tick-Tock,
