awesome, but where in the heck are you getting it engraved

Buttpad - Its comming, need a bit more cash before I order it though

TRiAD - Its not availiable to the public from Diemaco, and has not yet been surplused, so I have jury-rigged a similary barrel mounted rait system to the front sight until i can either find a TRiAD for sale, or until i can have one custom made.

Engraving - Investigating now

You will have an extremely hard time finding a place to engrave. Also it seems Elcans are not sold to the public anymore in Canada. Good luck with it all you've done great so far, Arizona Gun Runners has an OD Elcan scope cover.

Hey Goldman. If you are looking for a Triad mount for the barrel you might want to take a look at this:

http://www.uncompany.com/images/guarder-trs-10_big.jpg

It's a Guarder TRS-10. I'm not sure if it's a replica of the Triad system, but from the pics i've seen it looks pretty close. If you can't find a real Triad system you might want to think about this one. Price is $48 USD from UNcompany.

While i'm pretty sure you can't order the system, you can still order replaement parts IIRC, such as the rubber cover.

One problem i've run into is battery storafe with TM slither stocks...looks like i need a beter battery bag.

Just a heads up the CPK Magpouch for stocks does not work well, and barely works at all on Slither stocks, nor does it fit large bateries well.

Is it possible to modify the m16 foregrips to fit a large battery?

you could fit a custom batery in there, but with the FMU outerbarrel, and other kit already up there, well the gun is front heavy enough as it is.

You could get a magazine pouch, put a shell of an emty magazine in it, and stick a battery in it. I think you mentioned earlier that the mag pouches didnt work well but it may work.
