ces777 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Is it safe to dremmel down the Magpul precision rifle stock in order to accomodate the LAR-8 charging handle? Anybody tried this with success? OR Is there an equivalent stock out there that fits the LAR-8...i really need to get rid of this Standard A4 stock. Thanks for the help!
98Z5V Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Safe to dremel the front of the cheek riser right off. Common mod for LAR-8 owners. Use the AR-10 PRS over the AR-15 PRS, and you'll have less of an "ugly gap." <thumbsup>
ces777 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Posted October 7, 2012 thanks! so glad I found this site- yall are helpful- much appreciated because I have tons of crazy questions....
98Z5V Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Bring it - fire off those crazy, silly questions... <thumbsup> <laughs>
Madhouse Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Now I'm curious. I have the PRS on my LAR-308 and don't remember any clearance issues..?
98Z5V Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Raise that cheekpiece up high enough, and the charging handle will hit the front of it. Your cheekpiece is probably low.
Madhouse Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Huh, ok. Maybe my PRS is an older model, but when I draw the charging handle all the way back it stops short of the cheek piece, but it's close.
Madhouse Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Damn, my bad, I just re-read and noticed you guys were talking about the AR-15 PRS. Mine is the AR-10 stock.
98Z5V Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Talking about any PRS on a Rock River Arms .308 LAR-8 variant.
98Z5V Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Now I'm curious. I have the PRS on my LAR-308 and don't remember any clearance issues..?From the pics you added, it appears you have a DPMS rifle. Those charging handles clear the AR-10 PRS, in stock form.
Madhouse Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Yeah I was comparing apples to oranges.
ces777 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Posted October 7, 2012 yep, from what I have gathered the LAR-8 has about 3/8 more charging handle to pull back (I think). Not a show stopper for me really - I love that stock so I will just raise it to where I need and cut out a space for the handle.
planeflyer21 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Brownell's and MidwayUSA also sell a buttstock extension (DPMS make I believe), that pushes the PRS back far enough to work the cocking handle.That is the way Spaniky's is setup...I think.Jon
edgecrusher Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 I love that stock so I will just raise it to where I need and cut out a space for the handle. best fixed stock. period.Brownell's and MidwayUSA also sell a buttstock extension (DPMS make I believe), that pushes the PRS back far enough to work the cocking handle.That is the way Spaniky's is setup...I think.Jonalso a good option, no cutting required
