As mentioned in an earlier post, we recently received our Kavod KVD-15 rifle. Although Kavod Custom offers various sight options from Troy and Magpul, we decided to go with the SPLP sights from Midwest Industries.
As the name implies, the SPLP (Same Plane Low Profile) sights are extremely low profile, sitting only .437″ off the rail when folded. They are constructed of 6061 aluminum and hard coat anodized. Our first impression is that these will prove to be very durable sights.
What’s Next…
I seem to be a bit indecisive when it comes to the foregrip. As of now, I’m leaning towards the Magpul Angled Foregrip. Once I figure that out, I’ll get it ordered and we’ll get the KVD-15 to the range.
