I put that Adaptive Tactical buttstock to my .50 Beowulf AR. Wow, what a difference. Worth every penny. It went from bruising my shoulder with standard stock, to not hurting at all.

@Capt_Killingfield 8 ай бұрын

Shotgunner's Pro Tip: If putting a 6-po stock on your shotgun, choose one with a removable buttpad. I went with Hogue. Then you can remove the buttpad, and use it to transfer the hole location to your factory shotgun recoil pad. Drill the holes in the factory recoil pad using the new locations. Using the screws from the new 6-po stock, attach the factory recoil pad onto the new stock. Works like magic, and much better than a janky slip-on. You' re Welcome 👍

STR or CTR is pretty much all I use. STR for scopes and magnifiers, CTR for 1X optics.

@TerminalM193 5 ай бұрын

Now see, I'm the opposite. I like the CTR for my LPVO'S & prism optics because it's far easier to get a repeatable, lower cheek weld for eyeboxs sake while the fatter STR gives a more repeatable cheek weld for taller mounted 1x rds and eotechs.

@@TerminalM193 agree to disagree, I am not about that skyscraper optic height life, my stuff is all co-witness/lower 1/3 height. My LVPOs are on 1.5” mounts. I hear people whine and cry about the eye box on the Razor 1-10 but I’m using mine for 3 gun and have had zero problems getting a good sight picture even on 10X. That rifle has an STR, but also, I have next to no neck, so maybe that’s part of it.

If I’m running a short barrel, unsuppressed gun, I would want the minimalist stock. Conversely, if I’m running a short barrel, long barrel or medium barrel with a suppressor, I absolutely want heavier stock. I don’t care so much about overall weight although that is absolutely a big factor but it’s more about weight distribution, balances key. I don’t want a super front heavy gun.

I favor the Magpul SL and SL-S stocks. They don't wobble, they provide a good cheek weld, they don't pull beard hair, and the SL-S works well with my Vltor A5 that I have on my SPR. In addition I've added Arisaka Defense Bag Rider SL and SL stock angle adapter on both so they ride better on a any type of rear bag I use, when needed.

None of these stocks suck. Actually, even the OG M4 stock is pretty good. I generally say that unless there's a deficiency with the stock you have, there is a little point in changing it out. If you're starting from ground zero with a new build, that's the time to go out and obsess over what stock you like the best, and you're not gonna find that out watching a KZfaq video or reading Internet forums.

If it has no cheek riser what is it for then???

@thatotherperson2 7 ай бұрын

I wanted to put run idea by professional ears... I've been thinking that someone needs to manufacture an AR stock with drop by now. To mount the rifle without compromising posture, dudes are adding incredibly tall risers. The parallax is unparalleled... (:P) The appeal of a strait impulse... in my eyes, it just starts to fade after confronting the complications it brings to most stances. Of further note: I understand that risers are a special case for dot sights, and parallax isn't a pressing concern. For LPVOs and other scopes though, it's unheard of. Shooting prone on an AR is a strange skill on its own as well. Providing an inch or two of drop would bring the buffer tube to the cheek and allow it to connect better from prone and other weird positions. That said; the only person I've run this by said, "Just get an AK. Rifle is fine." The drop on an AK is one of the few things I prefer on the platform to an AR, so I can't entirely dispute that.

@At3tactical 7 ай бұрын

Definitely a gripe I've heard before, maybe not as loudly as other AR-15 platform "issues", however that doesn't mean it's not a valuable consideration point. That said, if I were a betting man (and I tend to be often enough), I would guess that one of the main reasons this hasn't been vigorously pursued by the 2A manufacturer's ... is the juice worth the squeeze? It's very common to see the LOUDEST "issues", shared by the most people, that get the "fix" first. (Greasy wheel gets the grease.) I wouldn't be surprised if I heard that some larger scale manufacturers have considered a solution, but my guess is that it would take some smaller, innovative, 2A company to bring to light new ideas. Personally, for me, I'm "institutionalized" to the check weld on the AR15...so it's not as big of a deal to me, but I can see how it definitely doesn't work for EVERYone. ... Hope my opinion makes sense. :) ***P.S.- Puns are always welcome, intentional or not. HAHA! -Randy
