A commonly seen element of today's competition shooting involves the use of a barrier, generally made from a piece of plywood cut with rest points designed to force shooters to come up with inventive methods of steadying their guns. The Short Barrier Stop is an extremely helpful addition to any rifle when dealing with these barriers, since it allows shooters to press forward on the barrier with the stop to create a solid shooting rest. This barrier stop attaches to any M-LOK handguard and features an aggressive surface texture that aids in obtaining a solid mounting point on any obstacle.
