Re: Help with a cursed model F 122
Congratulations for the issue solved. I'm also restoring my new "shit condition" F122 these days. For the foam replacement, I think 2mm EVA is a nice option in any way, its soft and hard, useful and cheap.

Managed to get another F XT from the same seller. Jesus. Fucking. Christ. It might be even more rustier than the first. The top of the barrel plate has thick corrosion and the back plate is bent. If he gets any more I'm definitely asking for a lower price... Imao, really need post some pics to show...
