Excellent stock, but....
The stock looked perfect right out of the package. It fits like a glove. The stock adjusts perfectly, as it should, and it is very light and comfortable. It is as rigid as can be expected from a synthetic stock with full float design forend that doesn't contact the barrel. I had one issue with this stock. The problem is with the actual pistol grip portion of the stock. It sits slightly forward of the stock (original) position. It has a cut out which actually envelops the rear of the trigger guard. If you use an extended magazine release such as a Tactical Solution product the longer magazine release will actually contact the pistol grip on the new stock. Having to take the dremel to a brand new stock to carve away material in order to make the extended magazine release fit and function properly made this a four instead of a five star review. Blackhawk can't be expected to take into account all possible aftermarket modifications, but the extended mag release is probably one...
Takes a beating and keeps on ticking
I bought this because it looks too cool. I bought my 10/22 two months ago because of the classic styling. When I saw this stock I said "what the heck lets try it" While it looks weird it works great!
The box it came in went through hell. One end had a crush mark about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long; it looks as if a Chevy small block engine was dumped on it. I did not see any broken stuff when I opened it. After super easy installation I noticed two dents at the butt plate caused by the shipping foul up. The dents were kind of small and of no consequence. My thought is that if the stock can take that, any shooter would have to drop a car on the stock to really mess it up.
One thing that is kind of weird to me is that there is some play between the butt stock and the part that screws on to the receiver...as I learned in the USMC at Edson Range, hold the butt tightly in your shoulder. Using this technique the shooter should have no problem with this...
cool product
I have really enjoyed this product. I purchased so that my Grandson would have a stock with the correct pull. The m-4 design allows for adjustment as he grows and it looks cool to him.
