Now that my tax return has come in, woo hoo for the New Home Buyer's Credit! I an going to begin ordering parts for the SPR I want to build.
I am debating my stock options.
Recently I noticed that the wackey non mil spec stock on my BM [I know I know, dont judge me I live in NJ] was way out of spec. The reciever extention was something like 11.5" long, no where near the 7.25" it should be. I realised that this prevents me from being able to fire the rifle squared up to the target. I replaced it with a mil spec extention and MOE stock and after finding the perfect length, which was one click from fully collapsed I pinned drilled and pinned with with a couple of roll pins so I don't get arrested.
This is where the questions comes in, with an SPR type rifle, is the propper way to shoot it to also be squared up? Or since there will be some sort of magnified optic involved it is alright to be shooting it slightly bladed? Further back from the charging handle so give propper eye relief? I honestly don't know.
I am fairly short 5'-9" to 5"-10" [depending on if its morning or afternoon ;) lol] and had a hard time having my support hand much more forward than the mag well when I had the factory BM, BS M4 stock which streatched out a little more than 12" behind the reviever end plate. Now with the MOE and milspec extention I am able to have my support hand comfortable under the handgard.
Should I be looking for a similar stock option for the SPR, or should I be going with something in the A2 or A1 length, maybe an ACS [URB is more $ than I want to spend]?
I realise that with an MOE type stock the rifle will be nose heavy, but I have a hard time firing it comfortable if I am much further back.
Thanks for the help!
