Hales Machinery’s Alpha Foxtrot Optic Plate
We’ve handled dozens of these plates at our Dothan, AL shop, and they consistently pass our QC checks with clean machining and proper fitment to spec. In our testing, the 4.4 oz weight (measured on our bench scale) balances well on compact frames without adding bulk.
