Stock: The standard adjustable, right side-folding stock has a comfortable rubber butt pad, has adjustable length and cheek piece. For sho- oters 180 cm tall the stock pull length is way too short. When you are wearing a plate carrier it's usable but for taller shooters it is just too short. Luckily, there is an AR stock adapter ava- ilable and with attached stock (like Magpul CTR) it extends the stock pull of 40 mm. It makes a huge difference. The adapter is a nice touch and solves the problem of standard stock. Un- fortunately, it's fixed but there is also a foldable one in the works. It is heavier than the basic one (due the changes in the design) and more complex. Stock folding/unfolding and its adjusting are quite simple. The only problem might be with the cheek piece if the sands will stick inside but this part is usually set up on the beginning. During the use nothing has broken, cracked or blocked. But the gun wasn't beaten and batte- red as the military rifles but it wasn't taken care of too. Handguard: The standard handguard is definitely too short for taller shooters or the ones with longer arms. It is a couple centimeters too short for a C-c- lamp or shooting with slightly bent arms. The extended handguard solves this and adds a co- uple more M-LOK slots and Picatinny rail estate. It also covers the gas regulator. The attachment of the extended handguard is slightly different than the standard one so there is a slight play. Playing handguard with play between upper and lower receivers does not sound like much fun… Rifle with a 16" barrel and longer handguard de- finitely looks more slick. The 10.5" barrel is not recommended in such configuration or limited to the muzzle devices which funnel the gases directly to the front. Otherwise you can expect a handguard going kaboom. The covered gas regulator might be still adjusted when necessa- ry and change of the position could not happen unintentionally as it happened in the military rifles with standard handguards a couple of ti- mes. We didn't experience such failure. The gas regulator requires some force to remove it. Basically, the regulator in the sport rifle is rather useless. In the military rifles, most of the soldiers will never use it in any other way than FIREARMS
