    I can easily use a standard carbine stock, but I HAVE to get rid of the A2 grip on my rifles.
    Agree. In fact I went so far as to put a CAR stock my new ultralight SBR and like it just fine so far.

    This stock, to me, looks like the also-ran to the CTR. I'd like to know the weight of. That locking lever looks like an absolutely horrible idea.

    Just for you Rob, I took one off and weighed it. It came in at six and a half ounces.

    looks CTR'ish but it laso looks like it has a wider slanted cheek weld area (comb?) on it, which is my only gripe with the CTR, kinda like using a broom stick for a cheek weld.

    Im not saying thats the most (or even any) importantance to shooting the gun, but with the plethora of options out there I prefer the gun to be set up in a way that I prefer ( and actually with offset irons BUIS like Im running currently the wider slant on the imod is about perfect for when you roll the stock ).

    I have tried one...its a very nice stock. Locka up solid, lightweight, and has a better cheekweld than my CTR.

    Do you need to take a bite of a poop sandwich to know it's unappetizing?

    I think most people are just commenting on their take based on what they see. For me there are two known quantities, the M4 stock and the Magpul CTR, and this, to me, seems like reinventing the wheel to no clear advantage.

    Grant has posted the weight at 6.5 ounces which sounds like maybe there is at least something going for it. For comparison...

    Sportsman's Warehouse had a 6920 with one on it the other day. Quality of the molding and polymer seemed to be as good as Magpul. It had a nice tight fit to the buffer tube. One thing I did not like was the locking system, it has a lever on the right hand side of the stock to lock it in position. Unnecessary in my opinion, I have never had a stock unlock from whatever position I set it at and I see that lever getting hung up on stuff and eventually breaking when you're out in the field.

    Can you take that rubber pad off?

    I tried a slip-on one years ago, and didn't like it.

    Seemed like whenever I tried to bring the gun up to look through the sights, the rubber made it was stick to my shoulder.

    Never had the problem of the gun sliding around on my shoulder when I didn't want it to with the original.

    And for recoil purposes...I'm not seeing the need.

    Very true, but is the Rogers Sammich made with poop?

    It's true the Rogers stock does the same job as the CTR with only a minor variation or two (at least that's my guess without actually trying one) and I don't think I'd sell my CTR and replace it with the Rogers stock. But it's a free market and good competition is good.

    What I'm saying is, let's give this thing an honest look before calling it a creme a la feces with cucumber sandwich.

    There are things I don't like about this stock from looking at the pictures, but my reasons are purely personal. Based on very limited experience, none of the QD cups are not located where I want one. I also don't like the style. None of which can be used to call to question the quality of the Rogers stock

    The weight comparisons are interesting. Somewhere on this site, somebody emphatically stated the CTR was much heavier than the MOE. Your scale shows the CTR being a porky .4 ounces heavier. Now I feel bad because I could have gotten MOE for less and less is MOE

    I tried one on a Wilson demo gun. The stock felt fine, but I didn't care for the lever design either.
