Just got our hands on the current release of the Maxim Defense CQB stocks, and so we had a bit of information and images to share. (will be updating this post over the next 24 hours with images and details)
The Maxim CQB Stock is a new kind of PDW stock. At its most collapsed position, this CQB stock adds less than 5.5” to your AR15, and at full extension, the Maxim CQB stock is the length of a standard carbine stock.
By using an exclusive cut down JP Silent Capture Spring, you can not only break open your rifle in normal fashion, but you can also use your own bolt carrier group. The Maxim CQB Stock is also compatible with most direct impingement and piston AR rifles. View Quote So you get the benefits of a short PDW stock with the ability to use your existing carrier. With the included JP silent captured spring setup, you also maintain the break open feature in the usual manner. Web Site spec sheet Some of the other /buffers/springs available: |

I really wanna like it, too - I love the fact it uses a JP silent spring assy, I just hate that operating most all of these new uber short PDW stocks requires both hands...
(The MVB Arc stock being the only exception that I know of.) The lever on this one's BIG. Edited to add: I think this is the sexiest one yet, though! |
|
These type of stocks aren't my thing but this one seems to be the best of the bunch.

Played with one of these at my local gunshop last week.
Very impressive. Felt solid. |

Where can you get the alternate buffers? One of those looks like a 9mm..........

(The MVB Arc stock being the only exception that I know of.) The lever on this one's BIG. Not sure how you're envisioning it working, but it is operated with a single hand. When collapsed, you can pull it out without activating the latch. You can also set a preset stop point. Collapsing just hit the latch and push the stock in against your body. Quoted:

so you jam your cheek into the gap? View Quote That was the only thing I found "off" when I handled the stock at the local shop last week. My ckeek fit on the rail and top of rcvr extension, between the comfortable spot on the stock and the receiver. I thought it was very solid, easy to manipulate open and closed. Good wide butt. Not heavy feeling, doesn't feel bulky. Looked decent, time will tell if it works. |

I can see an app for this in an SBR'd 300 Black pistol. It would make a handy package for somebody who was driving a vehicle.

I have the strangest boner right now.
Will pick one of these up to build up my q10 mp5 mag style lower build |

Quoted:
$450... View Quote Its hard for me to swallow that too. It looks well made, solid, but damn. I've always thought it was good practice to spend 50-80% the cost of your rifle on optics. But not a stock. Then again, this doesn't appeal to me because I'm not big on the compact setups. Then you have designs like the MCX that makes stuff like this obsolete. Of course you can't build your own MCX yet. It's cool and all, but not $450 cool. |

I like it and want it, but the stock costs more then my lower, parts kit and $200 SBR stamp combined.. Atleast the other $400 PDW style stocks come with a BCG..

This is interesting. I'm looking forward to a long term review and seeing how it holds up.

This rig looks great, how much shorter than a standard M4 stock is it when closed?
|

I've had one for a couple months now on my lower setup for my PWS 7.62 upper. I had to practice a bit, but is is very fast to extend and collapse with one hand. Snap it out fast enough with your left hand and the bolt closes! I've put about 200rds through with the 7.62 and it works great. I have an MVB stock, but the buffer adaptor didn't fit into the PWS bolt. The Maxim solved that problem. I'm pretty sure I paid well under $400 for it. It may not fit the price range of a budget gun, but it is not a budget part. I have about $2,500 into this setup, so I guess it fits.

I'm curious if the cut down JP spring will fit into a LWRC ultra compact buffer tube. Also, if it could be purchased separately.

how hard would it be to remove the stock part? that would be great for a trunk pistol if the stock part can be easily removed and tossed away.

I see a custom JP silent captured setup and then a shortened standard buffer in the pics. All of the 9MM buffers I've ever seen or handled have been standard length, solid weight buffers, sometimes one machined piece, but still the same length as any other standard AR buffer. |

The pic with the three buffers, the one with three weights is the 9mm. The advantage of the heavier buffer is not just more reliable operation and less recoil in a blowback gun, but the longer buffer vs a 5.56 buffer means the bolt doesn't have to move backwards as far to cycle and doesn't slam forward with as much force - which is a plus for bolt catch lifespan and recoil, among other things - and it works because obviously 9mm round is much shorter than a 5.56 round. |

Have you used the MVB stock at all on another firearm, I'm curious to how they compare to each other? View Quote I haven't put the MVB stock on another lower yet. I installed it on the lower and put one of my other uppers on. It functioned perfectly. The actions on both are very simple. I would take either one. This one won the bid, as it is compatible with all bolt carriers. |

Listen to this crock, I get Rainer's Memorial day sale email and low and behold they have this stock listed at an astonishing $325! I immediately go to order it only to find out it is already listed as sold out with no back order available. I call them up to ask what the deal is and they told me they were blowing them out to make room for the new design they're coming out with. What's up with that? They never had them in stock for that price at all!

For the rifle used in all the on white photos, what upper receiver is that? I must know...
