I'm giving serious consideration to replacing the standard GI collapsible stock on my SBR with a MVB Arc stock. Anyone know the weight difference in the two stocks? For you guys who have made the change, how does the Arc affect the balance of your gun?
Thanks! |

For you guys who have made the change, how does the Arc affect the balance of your gun? Thanks! I don't have the ARC, but I do have a NEA and a Troy PDW Stock, which are pretty similar. I don't know the exact length of pull, but the balance and comfort are good. The NEA is on a 14.5" build with a very heavy pinned/welded brake (Spikes Barking Spider 2) and the gun is very comfortable to hold. The weight of the stocks is quite a bit greater than your standard buffer/receiver extension/polymer stock configuration, but I find that the compactness makes up for the weight. The Troy is slightly heavier. Cheek weld on both is acceptable, but not as comfortable as a typical polymer stock (I prefer the MFT Minimalis and VLTOR). I'm sure the MVB is compraable. If you're going for a PDW/SBR, I think it's a solid choice. I have one of the LWRC IC-PDWs on order and really like the ergos and size. I will say that, on all of these HK-style stocks, your length of pull is very short and you're going to have to "scrunch" into the gun. I've heard it's more comfortable with armor, but I lost my mall ninja card and can't comment. I'm 6'1" and 235 lbs. with pretty long arms and the stocks have been fine for me. |

ARC isn't really the same. It lets you run a standard carrier. Unlike the NEA and Troy PDW stocks. |

Thanks for the details. I wish it were a few ounces less - I like the look, concept, and compactness but for a relatively lightweight build I think this might be a bit much. Quoted:
