Does the ACE save any weight comparable to the SOPMOD?

Though SOPMOD will have a better cheek weld. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 5RWill: What's the different between the generation ACEs? Google doesn't really turn up much about that stock except that it's very overpriced comparably speaking. Hoo boy. Okay, so Gen's 1 through 3 are all very similar. They use a tube that's more like a rifle extension in the front part and has a gusset that clamps around it that keeps your detent spring in check and acts as anti-rotation. There's a couple different locking bolt shapes. Gen 4, which is the current production stock, was a radical redesign. It now uses a standard carbine stock arrangement with an end plate and castle nut. It introduced a new locking bolt shape (though similar to an earlier generation) and it also added a waffle pattern under the rubber buttplate. |

I like the ACE stock on the H. I have sopmods on almost every other clone. It's heavy but does help with the balance of the rifle.
This is a Gen 3. Works fine with a bag under it.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ArmyPilot12: Why not buy straight from the source for almost $200 cheaper? Or is this an ad? They had a promo that brought it down to the same price and there was no tax and free shipping. I asked about the price cause I didn't understand why the mod H was $1725. It was $1455 the night before as they had the most competitive price on the Mod H upper. They said they checked PRI's MAP that morning so I guess it went up? But mainly no tax/free shipping. I probably should've just gone through PRI. I also didn't know if PRI would fulfill a single order before finishing batches for retailers, figured I might get it quicker going through a retailer. |

What are everyone’s thoughts on the PRI tube vs the URX4? I’m really conflicted on which one to do, because there’s a lot to like about both.
Are there zero shift issues with the recce rail? I remember reading something about that, but I could be misremembering. |

URX4 can be a little bit more challenging to put together with shimming and timing the rail and gas block installation. Also if trying to emulate a certain gun, I think the URX4 build looks best with the ATACR. |

I already have an ATACR 1-8, so that would be an easy move over.
Performance wise, I’m sure both are stable with a bipod and both are rigid for lasers. Edit: gonna do a URX4 with the ATACR, but skip the Burris mount for something “more exciting” |
