Robocop1051 Posted November 10, 2017 Report Posted November 10, 2017 (Seen on top, installed on my new .308) Craig “Sawman” Sawyer took my rifles out to play a few days ago. He and I both got a chance to play with this new-ish stock. It installs on a Mil-spec carbine receiver extension. It uses an Allen set screw to fix to a specific slot. I set it for the same length I would normally extend a stock to. With the push of a button, the spring loaded butt pad automatically extends about 2 inches out. This length can be adjusted by the user with fixed settings . A cheek piece also adjusts (in a similar manner as the Magpul PRS). For a combat rifle, I don’t need a fully collapsing stock. This stock allows me to quickly transition from a combat/mobile stance, down to a comfortable prone position, with the simple push of a button. It also has QD attachment points for sling mounts Of course I put the extra pad on it. It’s a decent pad, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. There’s a picatinny rail at the 6 o’clock, for attaching a monopod... even one of those magazine storage grips, if that’s your flavor. I haven’t noticed any fragility issues yet. It seems to be made from better than “Chinese-Hasbro” plastic. Bonus points is that AB Arms stands for “American Built”. That’s damned near reason enough to buy it. • lightweight, lighter than lots of collapsing stocks and almost every fixed stock I can think of. • sturdy “enough”. It doesn’t feel like a Magpul product (who we have to admit is the king of the industry) but it feels better than an SI and about par with a MFT. • value is decent. I think I got the whole set-up for about $75-$80. Not the cheapest option out there, but the PRS and UBR are still demanding over $200. • features are amazing! I don’t think there’s a stock that offers more, in such a light package, for such an affordable price. If if I made one change to the stock... I’d change the set screw to an adjustment button. Being able to collapse is great for storage. If being able to store/transport was a primary necessity, then I would just add a LAW tactical folding stock adapter and call it a win.
98Z5V Posted November 10, 2017 Report Posted November 10, 2017 NICE!!!! I like having Sawman in your corner, too.
jtallen83 Posted November 10, 2017 Report Posted November 10, 2017 Very innovative, something to add to my Christmas list.
Sisco Posted November 10, 2017 Report Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) For that price its a heck of a deal. Edited November 10, 2017 by Sisco
Magwa Posted November 10, 2017 Report Posted November 10, 2017 I want a few.... when will they be available?...
guruofhotrod Posted November 10, 2017 Report Posted November 10, 2017 Nice! @Rorbcop1051, Do you think that would fall under the "fixed stock" definition for us here in cali?
unforgiven Posted November 10, 2017 Report Posted November 10, 2017 That is a nice stocking stuffer...fuk Christmas is right around the corner.

Sorry, I just saw this post. I am not a lawyer, so I don’t give legal advice. It is identified as a “fixed stock”. It does however adjust in length with the push of a button....??? is it worth risking? Are there other options out there? For me, it’s not worth arguing with Ofc She-Bitch and Judge IDGAF.
Magwa Posted March 13, 2018 Report Posted March 13, 2018 anyone have a link to where they can be purchased?

Robocop1051 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Report Posted March 13, 2018 I just got off the phone with them. Great guy to talk to. Hoping to be in business with him soon.
Robocop1051 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Report Posted March 13, 2018 MidwayUSA, Optics Planet and Natchez all sell the stock.
edgecrusher Posted March 13, 2018 Report Posted March 13, 2018 My only issue is I like having adjustments on carbine stocks while wearing body armor. If it’s a precision rig then I will not need a collapsible stock. If it’s a hybrid type rifle then yes. The button idea seems to be a good compromise or, dare I say, an option for you?
Robocop1051 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Report Posted March 13, 2018 What I absolutely love about this stock (it being lightweight aside) was having a preset stock, set to my exact LOP for a standing shot. Then with the push of a button, the stock gives me about 1.5” extra length for a prone shot. If I want “compact” I’ll put a LAW folder on it.
