I don't need it but if I ran across an extra stock for $50-$100, I might buy

I sold two 2025 green waffle stocks, two trigger packs and two 16" 1:9 green barrels for $1600 this weekend.

Without scrolling through eleven pages what exactly am I looking for to see if my stock is in danger of cracking? I bought a standard waffle AUG before the ban hit here in WA.

You’re looking for a stock manufactured between 2019 and 2024. Those are the vulnerable ones (especially if they aren’t black). Cracking will start at the corner of the takedown latch and propagate.

Someone should scroll the whole thread and find the earliest and latest dates for cracked stocks. I havnt heard of any from 2019 or 2024 but I havnt researched it.

The stocks manufactured in 2024 shouldn't have the cracking issue, according to Google. I didn't go back through the whole thread.

Stocks produced in 2019 were the earliest reported to have cracked.

Somebody tried to sell me a stock they claimed was off of 2012 A3.
The dateclock just had a zero and I forget which side of the arrow it was on.

I work in molding; all of our dateclocks are either two digit year or completely proprietary code, but nothing in between.

Ya, I remember seeing 2019 stock date codes as well.  Note, it seems that many of the older images in this thread have been delisted/unsupported.  A good reason to use imgur instead of other sites I think.

The stock will almost always have a date code before the year the rifle was purchased.  Perhaps it was a 2010 stock?

That would be very strange. How would you tell it from a 20 etc.
when you use standard format, you just buy a new core every year with the two digit year.

My factory stock is 21, I have several hundred rounds through it without a problem so far. Probably gonna be at 1000 soon.
