    He updated like crazy on facebook but nothing was said about the spindles on there as well. I've seen the prototype in person though, fit and finish is legit.

    You're gonna need his upper to run it. If memory serves, he scrapped the set that worked with the TC kit. Just man up and do his mid travel kit.

    Did B make them with vertical heims? Pretty sure he only runs horizontals. Or are you looking for some custom shiz?
