It took only a few weeks for Sven to go from “maybe?” for OD and FDE versions to them being available - the new HG must be doing well. I just ordered my OD today, I’ll report back.

Have any of the other X95 owners played with replacement buttplates? I need to research, but I believe the Manticore can be used with the 16.5” barrel like I have to maintain 26” OAL, or I can pin my muzzle device and use the stock IWI thin buttplate. Somebody also created a rapid prototyping file for an intermediate hard buttplate that has an extension like the Manticore but is thinner like the low profile IWI.

I have the Manticore one and you are correct that it still meets OAL requirements. It's a definite improvement over the factory option as it just kind of rolls onto your shoulder now. Definitely recommend it.
That said the take down pin hole can be very tight, like use a rubber mallet tight so if you want to retain that ability to take down in the field with a cartridge might have to try some fitting first.
Thanks - I ordered a Manticore buttpad.
I also prepped the X95 for tomorrow’s arrival of the new handguard - I pulled the top rail, the pistol grip (I replaced the cutlass grip way back when) and the original handguard. I pulled the white Teflon blocks ages ago.
Since I’m gaining all that MLOK space I’d like to look at a different light - I’ve had a TLR-1 on there using a Magpul cantilever mount for the last several years. Suggestions gladly entertained.

Decided to use the Tavor as my camp carbine this weekend.
