I know I someone on the board here has made them before. But the search engine right now is N/S. I've made them twice. But it seems I'm not perfect yet.
Here are the measurements of the SAPI plates.
* Extra Small - 1.27 kg (2.8 lb) | 184 x 292 mm (7¼ x 11½ in)
* Small - 1.59 kg (3.5 lb) | 222 x 298 mm (8¾ x 11¾ in)
* Medium - 1.82 kg (4.0 lb) | 241 x 318 mm (9½ x 12½ in)
* Large - 2.09 kg (4.6 lb) | 260 x 337 mm (10⅛ x 13¼ in)
I'm guessing the SAPI size for our "frag vest" is the large. I usually make mine out of plywood. Then add a thin 5 pound weight plate beside it. But the front plate never seems to fit. Any one have the angles for the cuts for the large size? And how do you make it curve to the body like the original plate?
I've always believe in train to fight. So this is part of my game plan.
Your thoughts?
Regards,
