    Do It Yourself .
    This is a Place to keep your Muzzle Thread Protector when you got your thread-on Can mounted on a couple year old XLR Chassis with the Double-Rod adjustable Folder Stock .

    Just take the upper Rod off . Drill & Tap .
    Then cut a lathe piece of metal to appropriate size/shape and thread off 5/8x24 to hold the Muzzle Protector .
    Then drill it out to accept a cylindrical Allen head bolt to hold to Rod . Counter-sink larger diam. hole to drop-down the Larger cylindrical head of bolt to expose the desired length of thread bolt to go in your Drill & Tap on the Rod .
    -
    The small pack ( I made ) on the stock that's been riding there since I got the Stock . Hold every Allen Wrench needed to Tighten or field-strip Rifle, Scope, Rings & Base & set zero on Elev. & Windage on scope turret . Also hold copy of tax stamp .

    This thing SOoooo easy & cheap to make .
    ' No Reason ' these things cant be made & offered on retail sales for under 20-$ for any builder . Adapt for area & screw them to any platform you can think of in AR or Modular Boltaction chassis .

    Got tired of always misplacing & looking for the Thread Cap when getting it out of Safe or packing the Rifle around with Suppressor on . Really did not want it on the handguard & this was obvious dead area to put it .
    XLR chassie has it's pro's & Cons BUT w/16 inch barrel & I take my suppressor off & fold the Stock over to bag it & it's less than 28 inch long .
