I am wondering what the differences (besides the obvious appearance) of the VLTOR stocks are?? Is there any advantage to the club foot over the regular stock, being structurally better or otherwise?? I have 2 standard M4 6 position stocks now, and those work fine for me. I am wondering if the extra $100 for a stock is worth it. I would appreciate any info to make my decision easier. Thanks, ---drmikeyj--- |

NO!! I have a VLTOR and a SOPMOD and a Old skool 4 position tele I think the regular Telestock with a saddle is JUST AS GOOD I wish I never bought the VLTOR. The VLTOR seems SO WEAK compared to the SOPMOD the Club foot I would use on a Target rifle only Besides I dont shoot off the bench holding the butt |

I used the VLTOR club foot last year in Afghanistan, and it held up well. A buddy of mine ran the SOPMOD. Durability is certainly not an issue with either model. I stored my 123 batteries and ear plugs in the compartments, so that was a plus over the regular stock. The club foot seems to work better with a sand sock, but that was really only useful on the range. If you like the looks of the VLTOR, go for it. If you don't like how it looks and don't need storage compartments, then stick with something cheap. |

There will be no facial hair issue with the Vltor stocks if the gap is taped or filled with stock bedding compound (or similar fillers). It all depends how much you want to spend, less money the saddle would be fine for normal range use but I won't recommend it for home defense, carbine class or competition. A little more money the Vltor are fine and combat proven, Vltor guarantee their products and backs it up, they have very rare returns. About more than a year ago a Vltor rep said in a thread here that they even replaced a few stocks damaged by their owners that tried to install a commercial buffer tube which have a larger diameter than the proper Mil-spec smaller diameter tubes, the commercial type tube got stuck and they can't remove it anymore. If you want to spend more the SOPMOD are great stocks. Make sure you have a Mil-spec type with a smaller diameter buffer tube before you get the Vltor or the SOPMOD stock, if not you have to buy it before you could install those stocks. |
