I like it. How does the anti- rattle work? Is there some sort of lock?
Do you have a weight for it? |

The complete buttstock weighs about 8.3oz
Without the buttpad and associated hardware we're looking at 6.8oz We used our Over-molding technology not just for comfort on the outside, but on the inside as well. Most of the contact points where the stock touches the buffer tube are rubber, which mitigates the rattling & vibrations. |

Great job guys . Looks good . Will order.. What other online retailers will be carrying this stock ?
|
|
This is perfect, my girl was just complaining that none of my stocks were comfy enough and she wanted something padded for her three gun rifle.
|
|
I feel like they will sell very well. Im waiting for a online retailer that offers free shipping.
|
|
Love your grips so I may just have to give this a shot. Well done.
|
|
|
Looks very nice. Would like to handle one first, but will probably buy one.
|
|
Love the grips. May have to add a matching stock....these look great.
|
|
Looks like a cross between a Rogers and a MOE, I like it . I like the price too.
Only thing I wish it had was limited rotation swivel sockets. |

I like the idea of the QD socket that is on the forward end of the stock, up near the end plate when collapsed. Having the three QD's is a good idea.
I also like the price, but $50 would be better |

Nice......how much do they weigh? Also curious about the weight. "Reading is for faggots" and all that http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_124/651571_New_Hogue_Buttstocks.html&page=1#i6539921 Touche! |

Anybody tried one yet? View Quote I got one, was really excited about these but was a little disappointed when I got it. First off its a very nice stock and well made. I was expecting the rubberized sections to be softer like the hand guards they make but they are not. I was looking for something to help with recoil on some big bore ar's. (Beowulf/Socom) These are not the answer. |

Is your grip pictured above the same angle/feel as the original one with the only difference being the added beavertail? Might try a butt stock/grip set if so!

Fit on the tube ( mil spec) was nice, tight enough so not to rattle or wiggle but loose enough to slide smoothly. Quoted:

View Quote I got one of these to try out, really like it, for me its the best grip I've got on my ar's. I thought I liked the original ones a lot and put them on 4 of my ar's now I wish I hadn't since I like this one so much better. Seems just like the original one as far as angle and feel. |

What we are working on now is an adapter that will allow the installation of either our squishy rifle pad that comes on our traditional rifle stock, or one of our grind to fit rifle pads. IM me your address and I will send you one, you can let us know if we are on the right track. |

I like the look and the specs sound good. I have 2 of Over mold 10/22 stocks that have seen extensive field and range use, both have held up very well. I was very skeptical when I purchased the 1st one in 1997 as it was rubber and I figured it would tear up easily. I was wrong about that. I purchased the next one in 2000 and also found out they bed well when re installing after disassembly as well. My 12 year old as started using the older one and it it his favorite gun.

Classy move Hogue. :) I have your grips on most of my rifles and love them. The stock certainly looks nice and I like the idea of a modular style system for changing out the butt pad. I'm curious, is that rubber looking nub at the top of the butt a permanent part of the stock and how soft/firm is it? With rubber in contact with the buffer tube, how smooth does the stock slide in and out? Will there be a future version with battery storage? Maybe have them be modular pieces that can be added or taken off at will? Are the rubber cheek weld parts swappable? (everyone knows AR's are like Barbie for dudes ) Once these show up at my LGS, I'll definitely check them out. This question is off topic but something that's always mildly annoyed me. With your finger grooved grips, I get some bind between the rubber overmold and the selector lever. It's a bit worse with an ambi selector as both sides rub a bit. Have you guys ever thought about maybe thinning up the rubber under the area that the lever sweeps over? FYI, I use BAD ASS levers on my ARs. Thanks. |

The butt-pad is over-molded, so yes the rubber looking nub is permanent, actually that nub is the only part that is not rubber, it's a harder polymer. To answer your question it's very hard compared to the rubber. We did that on purpose to help keep from snagging on your clothes/plate carrier when your bringing your rifle up fast. With rubber in contact with the buffer tube, how smooth does the stock slide in and out? I have found it to be pretty smooth, I put a little silicon grease in there to keep it that way. Its not as smooth as plastic on aluminum, but we weren't going for that. Will there be a future version with battery storage? Maybe have them be modular pieces that can be added or taken off at will? We have our battery storage in the pistol grip right now. Maybe on a future rifle stock, but probably not this version. We went for comfortable minimalist. Are the rubber cheek weld parts swappable? Nope, permanent part of the stock. We could make an aftermarket cheek rest that could be installed, but we'd have to see some demand.

It's a bit worse with an ambi selector as both sides rub a bit. Have you guys ever thought about maybe thinning up the rubber under the area that the lever sweeps over?

View Quote It looks like the angle has changed, but only by about 4 degrees. No change on the feel, same construction, same process. |

This stock with soft buttpad would be great for guys running AR stocks on their shotgun.
