Default m226 offroad diff cover

well got everything tested

first off : i like the quality of the BTF cover better than the ballistic , the welds are cleaner and it fits nice
2nd: both covers need to have the sides of the ring ground down so they can clear the carrier bolts
3rd: the ballistic fab cover sticks out further than BTF
4th : BTF drain plug is higher

after test fitting the ballistic fab cover did not fit , i could get all the holes lined up but turns out why the last one wouldnt fit is because the cover was hitting the ring gear
i will let Allan know but ballistics cover is not ready to be bought




inside cover of the ballistic , the ring gear was hitting the cover

the BTF cover you can see the difference on the bottom of the cover
