    Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.

    I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

    I'm thinking the QD socket on the ACS-L may work better than the optional one on the ACS - I seem to recall rotational/positional issues when I tried adding a QD to my first ACS, the battery tube interfered with the QD loop. (Not a big deal for me, I use Noveske end plates for slinging.)

    First time posting, long time lurking.

    After months of research on this great site I finally found and purchased a like-new LMT Defender 2000 at a really good price.

    Hopefully I will have a STR on it by Christmas

    Thank you.

    The storage tubes are permanently mounted on the stock and are not removable without damaging the stock.

    Possible to get a shot of the ACS next to the STR?

    Go up on this page, post #107. ACS width is 2.58", and tubes are wide enough to hold batteries. ACS-L is slightly narrower, 2.28" IIRC after looking Magpul's specs on their website. And then you can see the the STR is just like a ACS from what I can tell., with battery storage capability. And then the CTR is like an A2 I suppose, the narrowest yet. It just depends on your bone and cheek stucture and which type of cheekweld you prefer. But Magpul has three widths covered, they're like the Glock Gen 4 of AR stocks.

    If you want a STR w/o storage tubes, I think what you really want is a CTR.

    I like the set up, but my request has to do with pinning the stock since I live in the ban state. If it were removable, it would be easier to drive a pin like the old CAR stocks or Vltor with removable cheeks.
