Level 3+ A.S 650 6x8 Lightweight base coat single

**Level III+ Steel Plate Armor – Mitchell and Son Body Armor Outlet (Made right here in the USA 🇺🇸)**
If you’re looking for serious protection without all the extra weight, this plate’s got your back — literally. It’s a stand-alone steel armor plate that can take multiple hits and keep going strong. It passed the NIJ 0101.06 6-shot test, standing up to rounds like 5.56 M855 green tip at 2800 fps and M193 55 grain at 2900 fps. We even tested it in-house against a 30-06 copper tip round — no problem.
Here’s what makes it stand out:
- Made from our own proprietary steel (not your average AR500)  
- Brinell Hardness comes in between 600–630, so yeah, it’s tough  
- Laser-cut for precision  
- Thinner, stronger, and about 20% lighter than typical AR500 plates  
- Fully hardened all the way through — not just the surface  
At just under 0.2 inches thick, this plate punches way above its weight. Whether it’s for the range, duty use, or just peace of mind, you’ll be getting solid protection without feeling like you’re wearing a manhole cover.
