the napiers stop "short" on Cherokees too, I spoke to doug at one point in time and this was a purposeful thing in design as to provide better/easier options when adding sliders and other armor that you normally have to trim bushwackers/stocks for. apparently this takes a lot of grief from some people, my vision/line of sight is not often low enough to even tell that coverage doesn't exist, so it doesn't bother me in the least.
