Rothco Lightweight MA-1 - Poor Quality & Off Sizing
Written on Nov 17, 2023
Review for
Rothco Lightweight MA-1 Flight Jacket
Have a regular Rothco MA-1 in XL and the sleeves are normal length and left sleeve pocket is sewn on side of sleeve, overall it is fine.
The lightweight version has sleeves from a size Large at best, they are 1" short at least. Pocket is sewn on front over the bicep. Looks wrong, feels wrong, is wrong. Then, the quality of nylon of the shell is poor. Loud and crinkley. The interior is worse. It looks and feels like they used cheap plastic from an emergency disposable poncho, the kind that come in cheap survival kits. It is terrible. Lining is a pale dull orange and is so thin it is transparent. The fit is also off, besides the sleeves. Upper arms and chest are also quite small for XL. Not even worth it if it was half the price. Optics Planet was very good about processing the return and providing feedback to Rothco.

Viper Modular Fixed Stock

Strike Industries Modular Fixed Stock
I first tried a Magpul Fixed Carbine Stock, and found it far too short. This stock with two of the 3/4" spacers gives the same length of stock as the Magpul Rifle Stock. Seems fairly sturdy. I'm not interested in the monopod storage gimmick, but you might be and it doesn't hurt to have it as an option. It should come with a better recoil pad for the money and maybe a spot for a qd swivel attachment. Overall pleased with the product for those of us doing a featureless conversion or build that do not want to pin an adjustable stock. Good value.

Good Inexpensive Featureless Option

Strike Industries Simple Featureless Grip
Fit well on Anderson Lower Receivers. Seems Sturdy. Great for the price. If it had slightly more texture it would be 5 stars. Some shark fin grips I've seen would allow you to wrap your thumb around empty space above/behind the fin, making then questionable as "featureless". Not this one, makes me more confident in it's purpose.
