the more I look at it the more I like your idea of chopping the front rail portion. I already have the under bottle rail extension.

Reality is, until we try the product or believe what we read in someone's post about the product, we won't know if it actually helped.
And no if it was stated in you tube it does not mean it's true.

Try shooting it with a regular grip on your trigger hand and then try it thumb up, with your thumb resting on the side of the receiver and see if there is a difference.

I like the idea of the 20 moa built in to it for my MK2 and if read it right it replaces the rail between the buttstock and action which could really stiffen the impact up and that's a good thing because you can torque it like a bow which can throw of your aim so I would say it would be a good thing has me thinking about one too now

yup! That’s why I hit the pre-order button even though it’s pretty damn ugly!
To your point, just grab the rear stock and twist against the action or have the front supported by strong bipod with rear on the table then push down on the frame with your hand……you might just pre-order one too despite the look.

Continue on @vetmx earlier work, this in black actually looks pretty good! They really should offer a shorter version! But this I like!

I’m sure we would agree on much more if our egos wouldn’t get in the way.
I preordered one also for my one Impact. My smaller caliber compact Impact is fine without it. Band saw and buffing wheel are on standby.

You just give me an idea what to try next time at my range. I have both the Penguine and the Emperor and never grab the handle in regular...allways with thumb up against the shelf...since day one two years already

Also beyond me why would someone buy the extended upper rail and chop it of.
If you want to make the Impact more rigid you can make the upper bar from titanium or inkonel for $50.
So far there are 3 models in offering I need one the longest, for my Fortmeier 12:00

Don't take offense to this but.....you will not make the "backbone" from the Impact out of Titanium for $50 and definitely not with Inconel.

With tight embargoes on Russia the biggest producer of titanium good luck finding even a chuck of Ti for 50 bucks, prices have sky rocketed.
then Ti has great tensile strength but not really structural strength for the weight Aluminum is still the better material for this application. Ti is great steel replacement but not aluminum replacement, the better or more ideal replacement would be carbon which has far greater structural strength for the weight compared to aluminum but that dream is dashed thanks to what is going on with China.

The backbone is genius, however not to my liking stylistically. Making it a "backbone" to stiffen the gun was cool, but to also have it serve as a cheek riser was superrrr well thought out!! Kudos!!! I think they could have taken it to an even better level and offered it with an ambi cheek piece.
I would love to see the Backbone and the Saber TRS have a baby!! (All cool sounding names are escaping me at the moment but feel free to give it a shot)

The one I’m customizing now is my RAW HM1000x - Gray ops arca rail, removed embarrassing moderator and CF barrel sleeve that would spin on the barrel when you twisted it! I then bought a new full length CF shroud epoxied it in place and also epoxied in place a threaded adapter for a moderator. Did I need to do this? Probably not? But I wanted to and thought I might see a improvement because of it.
Bottom line is, I can do this to have more confidence in my gun and If I want to spend the money I will.

I hate to spend 300 bucks just to cut it up. But if thats what it takes to mount one on my compact i will.

For me the bolt hold open detent makes this a must buy. Having a Bronze Impact my plan was to have the stock backbone and scope mount Cerakoted so now with a bronze one in the works (i pre-ordered it) this saves me from having to have that done. I just hope the Airmarksman bronze matches the FX bronze.

I see a lot of the top shooters at rmac use that backbone. Must be a reason I’m sure. These guys test this poop
