[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What do you guys think about the in-line stocks?

Posted: 1/22/2006 7:01:10 AM EDT

My SAM7 carbine stock is too short for me. So I plan to change the buttstock to either a sidefolder or a standard NATO length stock. I see that KVAR offers two diferent types of buttstocks: the regular style, and the in-line style (seen here: http://www.k-var.com/shop/product.php?productid=16713&cat=283&page=1) What are your thoughts on the in-line buttstock? What are its handling properties compared to a regular stock? Thanks for any advice you can offer.

I do not care for them..... at all!

Thanks for attaching the picture.

Why don't you care for them? Do they drop your line of sight down too low?

Is that the wing of a Cadillac?

Nope, I can adapt line of sight...just FUGLY IMHO!

You're right. It does look like a Cadillac wing. I'll stick with a traditional buttstock. Thanks, guys.

Lower stock is easier for irons, but the gun pivots up a wee bit more imho. Also note the 1" black rubber extension pad from Tapco works well for $10.

I like the AK for it's traditional commie appeal. That particular stock has none of that, and is somewhat 'brokeback', IMO.

If you want a contemporary, modern weapon, there may be some better choices out there. If you want an AK... get an AK.

That would be the new "Batwing" stock.

They're actually pretty comfortable.
