justinb138 0 #1 October 27, 2005 Any one know where I could get a set of Type 17 risers made with the standard size rings? (Not mini rings!). I've been looking for a set but haven't been able to find anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

councilman24 37 #3 October 27, 2005 As far as I know nobody has ever made them that way. For the most part you can put type 17 mini ring risers on large harness rings, if that's the issue.I'm old for my age. Terry Urban D-8631 FAA DPRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know, I'd just prefer the large rings if they're available. I feel that the type 17 risers are easier to grab, and I've got large rings on my rig.
