My Ibex SMF did not come with dissipator bars. Its the same setup as the Apex SMF but has the thumbhole stock. I did add the S5 to it.

Re: a bit about my disease

I have been type 2 for about 25 years and its hard. The first year I had to give my self injections and I might have to again some day. Its no fun! Just keep playing it smart. People get in trouble when they let things slide. Good Luck!
