AUL Backplates

[tombiowami]

Has anyone here ever used AUL backplates? They are very inexpensive comparable to other systems.

is they are somewhat "rough around the edges" but that
can be corrected with time and effort.

if you want to creme-de-la-creme then Halcyon is the
way to go.

AUL defintely seems to be lesser known... they do have slots in center which are compatible with the new no-STA Halcyon Pioneer wings, but lack the extra openings around the edge for other other Halcyon add-ons (ie. backpad, maybe ACB). Construction seems typical, haven't compared materials. Overall the AULs should do the trick.

If you're looking to save money take a look at:

Comes to about $35. This is literally "rough around the edges"... note the side-bar to have a file handy to round slots before rigging. Seems to have a decent following.

I own an aluminum bp from Fred Tagge. It is really made well and reasonable priced. You can reach him at ftagge@acadiacom.net . I've heard that AUL is selling his backplates now.
