Well I plan on calling first thing Monday morning to see about a possible exchange...or flat out return if possible.
If they do accept a return do you have any solid recommendations for any corner-cut armor?

I have yet to find any armor that really allows me to correctly sink the stock into my shoulder and get a good check weld without craning my neck.
In most cases I just shoot off my pectoral area and put the stock on the plate. If you rig your gear the right way you can even form a nice pocket on your vest to place the stock. This works great for CQB - less so targets at range but combat is not a 'leather jacket' event.
I actually simulated this a few times but I would imagine that the recoil of the weapon would cause it to slip off my chest after every shot. Worst case scenario I have been able to modify my gear so that it can be used but there is no way for me to obtain the coverage suggested within this thread as it stands currently(with current gear).
If I can rectify the situation tomorrow I was thinking about making a run at these but it appears they don't have medium, large or extra large:http://www.skdtac.com/BAE_NIJ_IV_SA_Plate_p/amr.114.htm
Likewise. I place my buttstock on my plate as well. It's a nice, solid platform.

Even better!
Is it the texture that keeps the stock from sliding right off? Mine seems to slide right off and thats just holding it against the carrier. Finally, do you know the internal dimensions of that carrier? My plates are 9.5" x 11.5", if it will take those and you think the texture is part of what's holding it in place then I'll buy one right now! LOL
There are a few solutions. Build up a pocket for your stock using closed cell foam. Run strips through the MOLLE loops. Rest the stock on another pouch on your chest. Use spray rubber coating on the butt, on the carrier or both. Try a rubber butt pad or ranger bands.
