I put that Adaptive Tactical buttstock to my .50 Beowulf AR. Wow, what a difference. Worth every penny. It went from bruising my shoulder with standard stock, to not hurting at all.

[@CntBckt]

That Hogue feels so good on the cheek. The numerous colors and not being obnoxiously priced helps a lot too. xD

[@Capt_Killingfield]

Shotgunner's Pro Tip: If putting a 6-po stock on your shotgun, choose one with a removable buttpad. I went with Hogue. Then you can remove the buttpad, and use it to transfer the hole location to your factory shotgun recoil pad. Drill the holes in the factory recoil pad using the new locations. Using the screws from the new 6-po stock, attach the factory recoil pad onto the new stock. Works like magic, and much better than a janky slip-on. You' re Welcome 👍

[@milspecmike8440]

STR or CTR is pretty much all I use. STR for scopes and magnifiers, CTR for 1X optics.

[@TerminalM193]

Now see, I'm the opposite. I like the CTR for my LPVO'S & prism optics because it's far easier to get a repeatable, lower cheek weld for eyeboxs sake while the fatter STR gives a more repeatable cheek weld for taller mounted 1x rds and eotechs.

[@milspecmike8440]

@@TerminalM193 agree to disagree, I am not about that skyscraper optic height life, my stuff is all co-witness/lower 1/3 height. My LVPOs are on 1.5” mounts. I hear people whine and cry about the eye box on the Razor 1-10 but I’m using mine for 3 gun and have had zero problems getting a good sight picture even on 10X. That rifle has an STR, but also, I have next to no neck, so maybe that’s part of it.

[@Florkl]

My first AR had B5 furniture and my second came with Magpul. The lack of cheek space immediately made me purchase the B5

[@AshtonBookman-j7v]

The b-5 system stock and handles are very good the handle is meaty and has a good grip and the stock is rubberized and very sturdy and no wobble I love the b5 systems stuff more than most

[@dangerdoberman]

I still have my original M&P15 on mine that I got back in 2011. All I did was slap a CAA Tactical stock saddle on it in 2012, spray paint it and removed the rear sling mount in 2015. Still got'em :D

[@DavidA20200]

If I’m running a short barrel, unsuppressed gun, I would want the minimalist stock. Conversely, if I’m running a short barrel, long barrel or medium barrel with a suppressor, I absolutely want heavier stock. I don’t care so much about overall weight although that is absolutely a big factor but it’s more about weight distribution, balances key. I don’t want a super front heavy gun.

[@TonyGillis]

Hard to believe BCM’s SOPMOD didn’t even make the honorable mentions.

[@TonyGillis]

Shoot, just realized this says “PART 1”. Maybe they’ll be in “PART 2”. Lol

[@derek3154]

BCM is by far my favorite stock. Look, fit, cool factor, ergonomics…just the best.

[@TonyGillis]

@@derek3154 BCM is my favorite too. Everything they make is top quality. Also I think it’s cool they’re from Hartland, Wisconsin. My dad and his side of the family was born and raised in Wisconsin, so Wisconsin is kind of my second home state. So that’s pretty cool.

[@TonyGillis]

@@brianfischer5609That’s for B5 Systems not Bravo Company Manufacturing. He’s saying the B5 Bravo, and B5 SOPMOD

[@TreborUSCG]

I favor the Magpul SL and SL-S stocks. They don't wobble, they provide a good cheek weld, they don't pull beard hair, and the SL-S works well with my Vltor A5 that I have on my SPR. In addition I've added Arisaka Defense Bag Rider SL and SL stock angle adapter on both so they ride better on a any type of rear bag I use, when needed.

[@TerminalM193]

As far as adjustable stocks go the magpul ctr is the best all around. Small profile, practically bomb proof under 9oz, uses a very simple but effective lockup method to the buffer tube and for us bearded folks it doesn't pull hairs like both the bcm & bravo do.

[@Jnlix1k]

[@Maine307]

i am a huge fan of the Houge overmold, if it not avail.. I go with the LaRue Rat Stock as well... 2 completly different stocks, but my 2 most favorite..i always enjoy your vids! always awesome to watch!

[@majesticoverland]

I have the CTR but the dislike on it and many of these is they still have to much slack and wiggle, which can make noise. I bought a matching tube, no help. Even with the CTR clamp it moves around. I had to put masking tape on the tube to help fill the gap and make it tighter. Now the main reason I bought the CTR is the option to get raise stock adapters to match my raised sights at 2.5" sightline.

BCM has the strongest pin for position adjustment. Also the most snug so no rattle. My go to, only B5 if not available which has not happened yet.

BCM is a great option. Getting a snug fitting stock is so satisfying.

[@shuntao3475]

" The Best" Is just to subjective. Need to use a better matric. In Many Cases, it is what you can afford, not what you want. I want a 2023 Ver't Vette... I own a '01 Trans Am Ver't.

I personally only use Magpul. I've looked at other stocks and grips but i always come back to them. If i want a solid cheek weld then ill also appreciate the lock down in the STR. Otherwise the basic MOE stock is all i need for carbines.

[@Hobberhawk]

FAB Defense GL-Core. Nobody talks about it. My absolute favorite and it's not close.

Unless I'm doing precision shooting (Um, with AR15, not likely), then MFT is the one for me. So sleek, light weight, has a grab handle/hook which I sometimes hang on limbs. I've got one of these MFTs on my crossbow.

[@Dnr2400]

I agree with you. I'm a huge fan of the mft design that turns your rifle into a cane haha

[@thegrossmansmx]

STR is my go to. It's sort of heavier but it's your anchor point it's not exactly an issue

[@GhostTactical]

You need to look at the EvolvR stock from Valiant Dynamics

[@At3tactical]

Will add to the list! Thanks.

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

The biggest thing about a stock I look for is not pulling facial hair. I use the b5 with lever removed and putt pad half electrical taped because it snagged clothing. I also have a piece of electrical tape on buffer tube to eat up a little play.

[@mrshort2379]

I have the both a minimalist and B5 sopmod (knockoff) but like the weight and ergonomics of the minimalist stoke but like the cheek weld of a B5 stock. so in short I would like a minimalist stock with a wide cheek weld. which would lead me to the Reptilla Recc-E Stock, but that thing is way over priced but it has awesome aesthetics! Its just a poor like me can't afford excessively high prices especially for a stock

[@CaffeineFreak13]

Yes!! I want to try one out but its pricey and a lot of ppl have said that it has excess play/rattle

[@harleytech12]

CTR is all I use... I don't need storage !

[@thatotherperson2]

I wanted to put run idea by professional ears... I've been thinking that someone needs to manufacture an AR stock with drop by now. To mount the rifle without compromising posture, dudes are adding incredibly tall risers. The parallax is unparalleled... (:P) The appeal of a strait impulse... in my eyes, it just starts to fade after confronting the complications it brings to most stances. Of further note: I understand that risers are a special case for dot sights, and parallax isn't a pressing concern. For LPVOs and other scopes though, it's unheard of. Shooting prone on an AR is a strange skill on its own as well. Providing an inch or two of drop would bring the buffer tube to the cheek and allow it to connect better from prone and other weird positions. That said; the only person I've run this by said, "Just get an AK. Rifle is fine." The drop on an AK is one of the few things I prefer on the platform to an AR, so I can't entirely dispute that.

[@At3tactical]

Definitely a gripe I've heard before, maybe not as loudly as other AR-15 platform "issues", however that doesn't mean it's not a valuable consideration point. That said, if I were a betting man (and I tend to be often enough), I would guess that one of the main reasons this hasn't been vigorously pursued by the 2A manufacturer's ... is the juice worth the squeeze? It's very common to see the LOUDEST "issues", shared by the most people, that get the "fix" first. (Greasy wheel gets the grease.) I wouldn't be surprised if I heard that some larger scale manufacturers have considered a solution, but my guess is that it would take some smaller, innovative, 2A company to bring to light new ideas. Personally, for me, I'm "institutionalized" to the check weld on the AR15...so it's not as big of a deal to me, but I can see how it definitely doesn't work for EVERYone. ... Hope my opinion makes sense. :) ***P.S.- Puns are always welcome, intentional or not. HAHA! -Randy
