Quoted: I am creating a christmas list for my family and I think that I want a VLTOR modstock. Before I add it to my list I have a couple questions. I am interested in the collabsible carbine stock. How many Surefire style batteries will the stock hold? Are the end caps durable? 3 with the new full length batery tube. Yes they are durable but are a SUPER pain in the ass to remove to get to the batteries. I will take the Surefire spare battery holder, thank you. What is the advantage of the club foot model over the standard? It allows you to grab the stock with the off hand easier if shooting off a bipod or off the bench. If I use the nose to charging handle postion for my head will the improved cheek weld surface of the stock benefit me? Or will my cheek be resting on the aluminum tube? No you will still have a cheek on the aluminum. This is the primary reason I prefer the Magpul stock. I know that I need the mil-spec tube, buffer, and spring. Are there any other peices that I need to specify before ordering? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks Perhaps a single point sling adaptor plate? Do you have the tools fore proper install? If not consider the Magpul as its much more rigid of as system and only requires allen wrences for install which helps offset the increased price. The Azalin |

I'LL GO ALONG WITH DEVL'S OBSERVATIONS, EXCEPT ON TWO COUNTS:
I PERSONALLY DO NOT FIND THE BATTERY CAPS THAT HARD TO WORK WITH. I SUPPOSE YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF THEIR BEING EASY TO GET OFF AND POSSIBLY COMING OFF WHEN YOU DO NOT WANT THEM TO, OR HAVING A DESIGN THAT REQUIRES SOME CONSCIOUS EFFORT. I PREFER THE LATTER. THE CHEEK CONTACTING THE STOCK TUBE IS A FUNCTION OF WHAT STOCK POSITION IS USED. IF I PULL THE STOCK ALL THE WAY OUT, YES, I HAVE PART OF MY CHEEK ON THE TUBE. BUT, DUE TO THE PERVASIVE INFLUENCE OF PAT ROGERS, I NOW RUN MY STOCK AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE, IN THE FIRST POSITION OUT, DESPITE HAVING 37" SLEEVES. IN THE FIRST OR SECOND POSITIONS OUT, I'M ON THE STOCK, NOT THE TUBE. YOU DID NOT MENTION WHAT TYPE OF STOCK YOU PRESENTLY HAVE. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A COLT COLLAPSABLE, YOU NEED NOTHING BUT THE VLTOR STOCK. IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING LIKE A BUSHMASTER COLLAPSABLE, YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE VLTOR STOCK AND A MILSPEC/VLTOR STOCK TUBE. BUT, IF YOU PRESENTLY HAVE A FIXED STOCK, YOU'LL NEED: VLTOR STOCK MILSPEC/VLTOR TUBE CARBINE RECOIL SPRING CARBINE BUFFER (WE CARRY ONLY "H" BUFFERS) TUBE NUT RECEIVER END PLATE I AGREE THAT THE MAGPUL STOCK IS ANOTHER YOU SHOULD CONSIDER. IT ALSO REQUIRES A CARBINE RECOIL SPRING AND BUFFER. WES GRANT [URL]MSTN.BIZ[/URL] |

Lets say that I go with the Magpul stock, what makes it worth the extra money? How is the cheek weld better? Does it hold batteries or a cleaning kit? Thanks for the input.

I never considered how slow the battery compartments are to get into. I havent practiced any speed battery reloads. Guess thats why Im always carrying an M3 as a back up to my 962 [;)]

At a show a few months ago, an Airsoft guy had a decked out M4 Airsoft clone with the Vltor stock. He had paracord fixed somehow to the caps that allowed ease in pulling the caps off. Later on that day we looked at an actual Vltor stock a another table. I couldn't see hoe the paracord was attatched, but I'm guessing he punched a hole in the covers to make the cord work.

How do you guys like the A1 vltor stock set?
How much does it hold in its compartments in relations to an trapdoor A2? Thanks |

The modification with the paracord can be found at militarymorons.com web site...it is drilled thru the cap and cord thru it with knot on end
I recently bought a A1 clubfoot from Wes at MSTN and WOW... it truly is up to the hype! Besides Wes's unbelievable patience with all my 'dumb' questions and the excellent service..The stock is EXCELLENT and the cheek weld is much better than any stock I've tried. It obviously doesn't have enough room for cleaning provisions like the A2, but for batteries and a bite size snicker's bar...it can't be beat! |
