ATI Retractable Stock for GSG-522, Black


Functional Fun perfect for my Zombie gun
Perfect add on for my GSG 522. It is sturdy and functional and it fits perfectly. Made of the same materials as the 522. No its not as strudy as a battle rifle componet but the 522 isn't a battle rifle. The GSG 522 is fun to shoot and this just adds to the fun.
GSG Retractable Stock
Stock is constructed of plastic, is shorter than non-retracting stock which requires holding rifle in an awkward position, and does not lock properly in the fully extended position. Stock does make rifle look "cooler."
cool cool cool
all i can say is excellent. its good that there are honest people that still make great products at a low low fair price. same as a real hk but not $460. thanks ati

Aimtech Warhammer Shotgun Mount, Mossberg 500, 12 Gauge, Black ASM-3WH


Aimtech Warhammer
Once in a while you find a product that just transform the look and feel of a certain item and this is one of them.

The Aimtecth Warhammer not only is totally functional it also makes your firearm looks and feel totally different after you put it on. Having an impressive line-up of rails solidly mounted on your firearm (making putting any accessories on it easy) plus the totally tactical look transform your firearm to something you wouldn't want to be in the business end off. And for me that works well since scaring of would be intruder or thief is so much better than the use of deadly force. That being said there is a few cons to it let me enumerate my Pros and Cons.

PROS:
* Comes with a generous supply of rails for every mounting need.
* Solidly mounts on your firearm, mounted right this thing can handle any recoil
* Fit and finish is superb no sharp edges even in the rails.
* Gives your firearm that very intimidating look...
Attractive yet functional accessory for your shotgun
As stated in many of the other reviews for this product, the Aimtech Warhammer is a very attractive addition to your tactical shotgun and one that offers a lot of mounting options for other accessories. But this comes at a price... a "heavy" price.

I installed this on a Mossberg 590 8-shot Persuader with a Phoenix Technologies Kicklite collapsible stock. The Warhammer afforded me a generous amount of real estate to mount a host of other not-so-essential, but really cool rail-mounted accessories such as Magpul MBUS Gen 2 front/rear flip-up sights, a UTG illunimated red/green dot optical sight, and a UTG tactical weaponlight. This ensemble of dressings amounts to an extreme makeover for my trusted shotty.

The downside is the added weight which is quite hefty. The shotgun out-of-the-box weighs in at about 7 pounds. The Warhammer adds a whopping 2 pounds! The other aforementioned accessories combined pack on an additional 18.5 ounces bringing this bad boy to a total...
Great add-on but NOT for Mossberg 500 Thunder Ranch Edition.
I purchased this after doing much research on a NORMAL Mossberg 500 and it looks and works great but I didn't take into consideration that the install needed to fit over a normal barrel and not a flared out breach barrel that comes on the Mossberg 500 Thunder Ranch Edition. The 2 bracket parts in the front just won't slide over the breach barrel like the instructions said for a normal end barrel. I had to take the barrel off and try and rig them on. Problem is that the diameter of the barrel seems too wide and the shield actually bends over the bracket and doesn't sit straight. It took me over 2 hours to finally get it on but I am not looking forward to having to take it off... Plus if you do try this get yourself a can of flat black touch up paint. You are going to need it!
So I give this 5 stars because it is a great product and the seller was super fast on the shipping but it wasn't made for a special edition gun and with enough elbow grease you can fit it on the Thunder Ranch...

Hogue Stock Remington 870 Overrubber Shotgun Stock Kit with Forend, Versatile Camo


RJoe
I have an 870 Express, probably about 25 years old, which I used to use for deer w. a slug barrel. The original wooden butt stock had a pseudo-Monte-Carlo shape with a raised cheek piece. This was peachy when I was using the slug gun w. a scope, but not so good for anything else. Although I prefer wood and steel, this Houge stock is a very acceptable replacement stock. The synthetic material is solid and not at all slippery or slick. The fit was perfect, although my gun had a spacer plate between the original stock and the receiver; I removed this plate when I installed the Houge stock. Had to use one light tap with one heavy hammer to dislodge the metal slide inside my old wooden fore stock, but that was no big deal. The best thing about the Houge stock, for me, is that my gun now "fits" better when I snap it up. The original stock's cheek piece forced my head above the sight plane of the gun; the length and configuration of the Houge stock make Ol' Betsy feel just right when...
Great Purchase
Great stock for the price. Easy to install and seems very well made. The rubber overmold is unbeatable for duck hunting. Helps me maintain control with wet neoprene gloves on. Would highly recommend.
Hogue stock and forend OD green
Awesome product! Little tricky to install but if your even a little bit creative its not to dificult and totally worth it.

Tapco AK Folding Stock - Black


Cation! Do Not Buy before you read this.
I bought this for my M+M M10 AK47. The part that is supposed to be inserted into the receiver is too short, so the stock can never fully settle on the receiver (there is almost a 1/4 inch gap).
4 stars
I gave this 4 stars to caution the end user. This is not a high end, roll around in the mud combat stock. It is designed for the casual shooter who wants the look and compactness of a folding stock.
Yes you do have to drill your own holes in the stock; with a power drill this is not difficult.
I have a Romanian WASR 10/63 and I imagine a good amount of other people do as well.
This fits mine very well.
This stock adds several inches to the length of the weapon. You can call that a positive or a negative depending on what youre looking for.
Awesome
Best stock I've used so far no problems at all love the fact that they make you tap it yourself

BLACKHAWK! KNOXX Axiom R/F Stock Ruger 10/22 Rifle Stock - Foliage Green


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.

Promag - Archangel Mosin Nagant Stock, Black - Aa9130


Exactly as advertized, I could not be happier with this stock right now
Hey I understand if you ordered this stock direct from ProMag it took FOREVER to get to you. That really sucks and all but is besides the point. I waited until I could order it from Amazon, Brownells, or Midway and it just so happened to pop on here first so Amazon got my business. The stock came within two days of me ordering it. Seriously the package arrived really fast and I couldn't even use my Amazon Prime for this shipment (good Karma towards the seller's way for this feat).

When I opened the box I found two pieces of paper. One saying sorry they did not ship the stock in some cool box but it is one of the first that came off the production line. So instead of making me wait for the cool box they decided it would be cool to just send me the product which is really ultimately all I care about anyway so this is fine with me.
The second piece of paper is just the exploded view of all the components of the Archangel stock. Whatever. Who cares.

The stock...
DON'T overtighten the screws when installing! Strips out easy!
I am sorry to say but as I was hand tightening my Mosin Nagant rifle into my new Archangel mosin stock, the top screw stripped out (not a lot of threads on the top bolt and soft metal on bolt and receiving nut). It really stripped out WAY too easy with just a little bit of hand strength - I noticed the bolt seems to thread into a very soft "copper" looking base nut.

As a MINIMAL recommendation, I would strongly recommend that Promag beef up the threads on the top bolt and also beef up the hardness of the metal the bolt is being tightened down into. I do admit I should have been more careful and looked at the torque recommendations more closely - but honetly I didn't tighten it down more than i would have if I had been replacing a Ruger 10/22 stock screw.

Love the look and feel. Just be careful and do not overtighten. Use their torque specs.
Outstanding design
I am extremely pleased with the quality of this stock. It looks great and I love the idea of a magazine (both 5 and 10 rounds). It comes with a five round magazine. After completely disassembling, cleaning and adjusting my purchased 1941 Mosin Nagant 91/30 i started my build and only had to sand a small amount of the stock near the rear recoil tab. This allowed the barrel to fit perfectly, as well as being very tight! The stock also allows for a Timney trigger, This trigger fit perfectly which gave a great trigger pull (3lb) from old loose 1941 trigger. The Timney trigger also provides a manual safety as well.

The gun looks and shoots fantastic. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Well done Archangel Manufacturing
I'll post some pictures later..

I had the stock now for months. I have shot over 500 rounds through it and still love it! Rock Solid no loose bolts and shot groupings at 300 plus yards are super. If you buy this stock, you...
