Beefie Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hey everyone! I have a quick question: I recently got into the 501st and have been trooping as much as i can (and i travel across state for it) one thing thats bugging me (but my brothers and sisters in arms find funny) is my sniperplate rubs on my thigh plate.... when it rubs it makes that horrid noise of plastic scratching on plastic.... (cant really tell when kids are screaming and laughing but when just the group walking quietly... you can find me) Any suggestions to stop that from happening? I dont really want to shave it down or anything want to keep the thick look to the sniper plate... any suggestions would rock! Thank you kindly!

clonecollector Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Could your thigh armor be too big? Do you have pics of you in armor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khazid Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 You can always put a piece of foam in the thigh armor behind the left knee. That will pull the front of the thigh closer to your leg. Pics will help, but that might solve your issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraulein Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Is the plate parallel to the leg? Or is it at an angle like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefie Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 sorry for no pics (im at work doing this) hopefully tonight I can get to doing this, however the plate is parallel to the leg actually... i assume the angle will help it a bit? im also a lil guy lol so i might try to put some white foam in there now and dirty it up a bit Thank you!

Fraulein Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 No prob. I don't know how other people have done it. My "rocket scientist" designed the sniper plate with the dual spring assembly. It is secure at the bottom spring. And the top spring is semi-secured. The springs allow the plate to twist and flex when it bumps against the thigh.

Fraulein Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Pretty sure I posted the pics. Because it took forever to upload to photobucket. I'll post a new thread to keep from threadjacking this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
