Posted: 6/19/2007 12:59:46 PM EDT

Here are some new Vltor EMod stock. "Enhanced Modstock"

It is similar in concept to the orignal Clubfoot Modstock with some cool enhancements.

It is a longer than the original stock, (which some perfer on precision AR15 set ups)
the rear pad (included) is secured via socket head cap screw
the rear pad is molded onto a aluminum strike plate
the checkweld/storage tubes are longer than the original Modstock
has an additional battery storage compartment

Here are some quick snap shots I took in the shop.

some Vltor photos

It will come in black, FDE, and Foliage Green
(both milspec and commercial versions)
They will retail at $125.95 each.

These stocks should be shipping to your favorate Vltor dealer right now.

They look nice. Much more "refined" than he original (which I love).

Any opinion on how sturdy the battery compartment door is?? It looks well-built (thick gasket), but I haven't dropped it yet.

CAA (IIRC) had a similar compartment on their stock and it felt kind of "flimsy" when I looked at it.

Personally, not a fan of the battery storage, ruins the stock imo.

I really like that integrated buttpad. Much more elegant than the slip on.

Looks like the price point is direct competition for the CTR with optional buttpad.
Gotta love capitalism. More and better choices and continual improvements.

Does it come with the buffer tube?

Damn. This puts me in a quandry since I was waiting for the magpul UBR stock but this one has everything I've been waiting for. It has the storage compartments, the strike plate and is in the colors I wanted.

I'm going to have to see what people are selling this for on the EE. In the short term I think this stock is going to cut into the amount of customers magpul was hoping to get with their UBR.

Looks VERY sturdy. And if I am looking at it right the door could be easily replaced, but I wouldn't even worry about it. Like all Vltor stuff, it's built to go to war with.

It currently just comes as a stock assembly (ie: stock only). Ready to drop onto our exsisting receiver extention (buffer tube). Milspec version and commercial version (coming soon).
If you need the complete kit (receiver extention, lock ring, end plate, action spring, buffer) most dealers have those separately.

We have Mil-Spec stock hardward kits for $55.95 (6 position receiver extention, action spring, buffer, end plate, lock ring/castle nut)

I like it... and I didn't like the looks of the original.

I agree. I had one of the original clubfoot stocks and hated it. Both in function, and in looks. I have the "standard" stock on one of my other carbines and I love it. I may have to pick up one of the E-MOD's because I like the functionality that it offers, aswell as the look. The buttpad and strikeplate are perfect.

Wow, that's a great price for these stocks, I was expecting it to be priced about the same as the LMT stock!

I like it. It appears to be a great alternative to the LMT stock.

I SHOT WITH THE VLTOR EMOD FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY, OFF THE BENCH.

IT'S A VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT DESIGN, BOTH FOR PRECISION APPLICATION AS WELL AS WITH BODY ARMOR.

PIX SOON.

wonder how it would look in a AR10...

Posted: 6/23/2007 7:24:17 AM EDT

[#23]

I think it'll look great on the AR10, because of its larger size, a standard M4 stock looks kind of out of place and disproportionate, while an LMT SOPMOD stock looks perfectly at home.

I like this stock a million times more than previous designs.

Matter of fact, I NEVER, EVER, considered a Vltor stock until now.

The price is reason enough, but I never really liked the LMT sopmod. Way over-priced!

MM,

Do you find that the stock stays put over gear? The original vltor was great if I got the toe of the stock inbetween my neck and my shoulder strap on my CIRAS ... but for quick mounting it wasn't there and would slip. The LMT is better, but wasn't quite shaped right.

Is the metal on the bottom of the stock a strike plate or is that some other feature I'm missing?

Doc

[#31]

doc,
it's going to depend on your gear. i found the E-MOD too long, like the crane (for me) to use with a vest with plates for shooting with a squared-up stance and putting the butt on the plate. i have to put it to the side of the plate and roll my shoulder forward. the rubber butt pad keeps it pretty secure. when wearing rigs, i've found that the original vltor modstock standard model (not clubfoot) works best for me for thick armour as i run it all the way closed, and like you, i can hook the toe between my neck and the rig. can't do that as easily with a clubfoot.
yes, the rubber butt pad is overmolded on an aluminum strike plate.
when using a chest rig without plates, the E-MOD works fine.

Posted: 6/27/2007 9:56:59 PM EDT

[#32]

I GUESS HOW THE STOCK FITS DEPENDS A LOT ON NOT JUST YOUR GEAR, BUT ALSO YOUR MK 1 MOD 0 ISSUE BODY.

YOU'VE GOT TO REMEMBER THAT ERIC OF VLTOR IS JUST SHY OF SEVEN FEET TALL. I MIGHT NOT WANT ERIC DECIDING ON COUNTER HEIGHT IN MY KITCHEN, BUT HE'S PRETTY DARN GOOD AT STOCKS IN SPITE OF HIS 99-PERCENTILE HEIGHT.

THE E-MOD ANGLED RUBBER BUTTPLATE GETS A GREAT BITE ON MY EAGLE PLATE CARRIER. BIG CONTACT PATCH. THE ANGLED BUTT GIVES NOTICEABLY MORE CONTACT THAN THE SOPMOD DOES. I'M RUNNING THE E-MOD STOCK ONE NOTCH OUT OF FULLY CLOSED WITH BODY ARMOR.

BUT WITH A SCOPE AND NO GEAR, I RUN THE E-MOD ONE NOTCH SHY OF FULLY EXTENDED. THIS IS A SUPERIOR STOCK, INDEED, TO USE WITH A SCOPED RIG.

Paul, what does this weigh?
To compare, SOPMOD is 10.9 ozs, and the regular Vltor is 7.7 ozs without the pad.

I'm not normally a gear queer but this has me excited.

It may have just replaced the Magpul CTR as the stock to use for a build.

Another "Enhancement" of the new E-Modstock is the reinforcement plate used in the plunger hardware assembly. You can see it in the picture above (with storage compartments removed). Because Emod has a built in strike plate in the buttpad --- that reinforcement plate adds a significant amount of strength over other conventional type adjustable AR15 stocks in the plunger area, which will be much appreciated if the striking feature is used. It also incorporates a spring plate, insuring the stock is kept tight on the receiver extention.

So when are we going to see it on the EE?

How tight is the lockup compared to, say, a Magpul CTR? Does it wobble at all, or is it really stable?

My reviews on another Vltor EMOD thread

Just got mine from Wes, I always wondered what it'd look like with a standard carbine release latch, I kind of like it, it breaks up the stock's continuity less. Since Vltor doesn't make a non-club foot version, I modded my own

As it turns out, it works pretty well too, I did have to mill out the tip of the chevron a little to clear the foot of the club foot

The stock is BIG, compared to the Vltor carbine stock, this thing is a beast. When I first shoulder the rifle, the material of the stock feels great on my face, it also felt different (not due to the "teeth" or seam on the stock). Sure enough, I took the width measurement of the LMT SOPMOD and the Vltor EMOD stock:

LMT SOPMOD 2.4 inch, or 61mm
Vltor EMOD 2.46 inch, or 62.5mm

All the things that made me buy 8 LMT SOPMOD instead of Vltor carbine mod stock have been addressed, and then some. It's longer, wider, butt pad is not only angled, but the toe of the stock is angled again to rest squarely on the shoulder. I find myself shooting with the toe resting on my shoulder all the time, this is a great feature.

Toe of the stock on the shoulder:

One suggestion: the tab of extra battery compartment is smooth, it should be serrated for better traction, my finger tends to slide right off of the tab

The EMOD stock is VERY tight on my Vltor carbine buffer extension, it promptly starts to rub off the white number lettering on top, the tube sides also show quite a bit of wear, it'll get smoother with use, just an observation.

The Vltor EMOD stock has a great deal going for it, I don't care for the club foot though. I hope Vltor makes the improvements on all of their stocks like this, not just for the club foot. The battery compartment caps are still kind of tricky to install and remove, the LMT SOPMOD caps are faster and easier to use.

As to my comment about the extra battery storage compartment needing serrations, I found the serrations on the right side of the stock, I guess we're supposed to push it from the right, instead of pressing the tab on the left?

This stock is big enough to almost look disproportionate on an AR15, but it'd be perfect for an AR10 carbine, the rubber butt pad and extra large size would make it ideal on the larger AR10
