Nothing else on the market like it. When you remove the stock from the extension, you'll immediately see the major differences between it, and everything that you now know as a receiver extension. There's no reason that you couldn't put a UBR original body on the extension that's already inside of the UBR 2 - but there would be no reason to do it, because you ahve to buy the whole UBR 2 to get the extension. The UBR 2 extension is already 7 5/8" internal depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotcaller6 Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 I thought that was gonna be the case. I have a Gen 1 on a 16" 458 Socom, it's a might heavy but has great balance. I was thinking on replacing the STR on my 308 due too it feeling a bit front heavy but that beast is already at 14 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UBR 2 might be the answer, even if that beast is already 14#. If it's balanced better front-to-rear, the additional weight of the UBR might not hurt that much, with it all at the back of the rifle.

98Z5V Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 If it's any consolation, I have a 15# Mk12 5.56 gun. I use it in a specific match, and I stuffed a 2 3/4# lead weight into the A2 buttstock pocket, just to cease all noticeable recoil through the scope...
