When Ergo started producing them for half of what an original M93 goes for, I figured I'd give it a shot. I haven't used it enough to say whether I'm sold on it or not. It's heavier than I thought it would be.

Theyre rock solid, but nice is the last thing that comes to mind for me. All I see is Voltrons foot.

Just a quick question about the foliage green guys, I see a lot of you guys are using that on the rifles, is there any paint I can pick up to match foliage green? I got a green stock but it doesn't match the rest of my furniture etc.

so i'm picking a stock for my spike's lw dissipator. i like the gun to balance towards the rear slightly. it's probably going to wind up with nothing more than a surefire G2x out front, an AFG and a PA micro red dot.
any suggestions on which magpul stock would balance it best? (since there are so many to choose from now) i'm a monkey armed guy so i might need the ACS chassis, but not sure if the ACS-L would be too light... I think even a Moe is long enough with the extended pad, but it looks unbalanced to me. Needs a meaty looking stock. Any opinions? |

i'm definately not forking out money for a SOPMOD.
STR or ACS is what i'm thinking, but the ACS-L might work too? probably go ACS when everyone starts selling theirs on the EE to fund the new hotness.

If you don't feel like ordering spray paint online, and aren't OCD about an exact color match, Rustoleum makes a self-etching primer that gets you pretty close and can be found at any Lowe's or HD. 
Here you can see my barrel/gas block is painted, while the furniture is still original foliage. Like I said, not perfect, but close enough

I have a Bushmaster M4 Dissipator barrel, Bushmaster A1/C7 upper, and an A1 stock at home. I am waiting on the PSA lower I ordered to arrive($49 sale) and then I will put it all together.
The bad thing is I also have a M4 stock and a flat top upper that I could use for the build too.
Decisions, decisions... I think I will stick with the A1/C7 fixed stock set up and use a goose neck mount for a micro red dot. At least for now.

your stock is probablly up there in weight as well. I know my acs made mine heavier––however I wouldn't trade the balance at this point.

If/when I do, I'll be sure to post pics with the findings––whatever they are. Your rifle sure doesn't look much different than mine. .7 of a pound seems like a big difference; but like you say, your scale doesn't give you much to go on. |
