Which one. Are there problems with the LMt/Crane ? |

A friend and I just put new stocks on our SPRs. Each of us had A2 style stocks on them before. He put the Magpul M93a, I put the LMT. Last time we went out shooting together (last week), each one of us commented on how much we appreciated the adjustable stock on these guns. Unlike our carbines, which we almost always shoot from some standing position, we shoot the SPRs from several different supported positions. Like off a stool from a bench, or on the ground from prone. If we are standing it is usually while the rifle is resting on a table or something. While throwing off the balance of the gun somewhat, the rifle is usually shot from some type of rested position. So the balalance was not as much of a concern. Upon changing stocks, each of us immediately noticed the ability to change the length of the stock in order to maintain a comfortable and natural hold on the rifle while keeping good eye relief from the optics. Prior to the adjustable stock, we had to modify our shooting position to acheive propper eye relief from different shooting positions. So I really enjoy the adjustable stock o the SPR style rifle. If you decide the same thing, I think which you get will dpend more on personal prefference and taste. I think both the Magpul and the LMT are excellent choices. I just happened to choose the LMT. |
I hear you. Lots of different shooting styles out there. VLTOR didn't work for me, M93A did. I tend to crawl forward on the gun, so thats why I like that cheek weld. Those that shoot head upright with the rifle high on their shoulder seem to prefer VLTOR or LMT. |
I had a Crane clone on mine, but it never left the position that it was in, which happened to be the same length as an A1 stock, so I went with the VLTOR A1 Modstock and really lost nothing and freed up a collapsable stock for one of my carbine builds. |
Look, the real answer is to just bite the bullet and put the one you most believe in. Then, build another and use the other stock. If you still arent sure... build another and use the next stock. $9000 later you can come back here and say definitively which one you like best!!!

Funny I'm actually weeding out what I have. I'm in the process of saving for a house and the best part my 500yd range might be closing so I'm not going to be buying alot until I'm sure what's going on with the range. I just want to finish my SPR and get a Colt carbine to hold me over for now.
