Which collapsible stocks are tough enough to withstand repeated clearance drills where the butt is slammed into the ground?

MagPul.

I think you might want to find out what is malfunctioning after a while tho'...

The problem is that I made the mistake of buying olympic ammo before checking this forum.  While attempting to clear a jam, I sheered the adjustment bolt on my fiberlite stock.  So, I need a more robust solution.  Don't worry.  I have started using better ammo now as well.

Weren't you doing CD's with the stock all the way collapsed?

I banged the butt on the ground without the stock being collapsed.  I know better now.  I had hoped the stock could take the abuse.  A stock should be able to stand up to use as an impact weapon.    

magpul would be my vote

and here's a tacked thread that might help you

I've read the Ace M4 stock can really take some abuse..

I haven't had any issues with my 6 pos, granted I've only done it about a dozen times though.

+1 on on the magpul. The M93B is expensive but it is as solid as a fixed stock. From what I understand one of the biggest improvements Magpul did on the M93A to M93A2 was add an aluminum bracer to make it stronger for clearance drills and such.

ACE SOCOM is Bomb proof

Quoted: Which collapsible stocks are tough enough to withstand repeated clearance drills where the butt is slammed into the ground?

What kind of clearance drill does one do that causes the butt to be slammed into the ground? For me, no part of the SPORTS exercise involves the weapon even touching the ground. Maybe Im missing something here..

The ACE SOCOM is probably stronger then the rest of my carbon fiber rifle.  As stocks go, it is pretty heavy.  If I ran out of rounds, I could probably club the crap out of someone without damaging the stock.

yeah but there collapsing button is like fine china
i had one, atually two and the collapsing button/cam would jamb and render the stock fixed. also the "play/tension" screws on top never worked and would just tear up the tube.


also had this on my .50 beowulf which was the last draw for this stock.

i'd be concerned for the buffer tube as well.

Same problem here.  The button has a name which I shall not mention on this forum.  

+1 on the Magpul 93B.  Looks good, has been durable for me, and great cheek rest.

Hey, tough guy.  I'll have an "extra" ACE SOCOM stock when I get the Magpul PRS stock for my SPR clone.  IM or email me for more info.

Ya know, sometimes it's entirely too easy to tell the guys that use their guns from those that build a model.  The same ones that have every bell and whistle imaginable yet not even so much as a port door mark on the rib of takedown pin.  The same ones that have a $1200 ACOG that's not even sighted in.  The same ones that look aghast when a rifle has been painted to blend in with its background.  The same ones that believe malfunctions never occur because they put 500 rounds thru their rifle a year if they're lucky and the wife lets them.

There's a reason that the ribbed M4 stock and older CAR stocks are on pretty much every "high speed" fighting rifle you see out there.

The Magpul is nice, but its meant more for comfort that functionality.  The aluminum bar is a stopgap solution for a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.   The stock is too heavy for what it is and obviously too weak by design.  I was on deck when a bud was shooting and blew apart an M93A when clearing a malfunction at a match.  Never had I seen or had it happen to me with a 4 or 6pos M4 or CAR stock.  Backtracking a moment, Magpul did indeed stand behind their product and replace it.  After that however, I promptly sold it.

For most shooters that run their rifle a few times a year and dig comfort, the M93 is great.  But for people that use their rifle like a rifle, get something else.

And as for shearing your bolt, sounds like a defective part to me.  Do you know what brand stock you had?

That must be why Pat Rogers and DET1 use them.
