The Stock Choosing the stock, one has to remember that the buffer tube delivered with the adapter is of 'com- mercial spec' – so the 'mil-spec' stocks would prob- ably not fit. We were given a Tdi Arms adjustable cheek-piece stock, so we installed that. The stock itself (except for the cheek-piece) is very rugged, and has six positions. The bottom-mounted release lever holds each position very securely, and does not al- low the stock to move other than by shooter's intent. The butt plate is made of thick rubber, giving a posi- tive traction and a degree of recoil-absorption. Trying to compare it to the original underfolding stock is like comparing a wooden stool with a rocking office armchair. The stock has an internal stowage for e.g. four CR 123 batteries, the quasi-standard tactical light and/ or red dot sight cell. The front and rear part of the stock also has the QD sling attachment points. That's a very nice touch, universal solution for all sling var- iations, be it a one- or two attachment point model. The adjustable cheek-piece is a very good idea, for the new stock's comb is much lower than the orig- inal one, and one would lose cheek weld entirely without one – especially with the red dot on. So the idea is sound, but the execution leaves a bit to desire. The cheek riser is slid to a position and held there with a large knob on the right side of the stock. At least in theory, because in my case the cheek-piece tended to work loose after some shooting. I almost wrought the offending nut trying to keep it from working loose – but to no avail. But perhaps I have just my usually clod-handed self to blame.
