I like the A3, even coupled with .308.

If this one doesn't work out, I'll try the MVB version which is a bit more compact. I'm building up a PDW and want something a little lighter/more compact. A standard buffer/tube is ~10oz. My go to STR stock is around 12.5oz. The Tomahawk is supposedly 10oz total.quote:
I'm thinking about picking up a Troy Tomahawk for a new 300blk build. Has anyone on here run one before? I'm wondering if it's any better than the HK A3 stocks
Haven't gotten to play with one but that style intrigues me too.
Another option would be a law folder and a LWRC ultra compact.
quote:Good info. I went with the Troy because it already came in FDE and was ~$100 less than the MVB. The MVB reviews say it has really good lock-up. I believe it's also shorter than the Troy.
This summer I rebarreled and rebuilt my training rifle and primary social rifle. Used the MVB ARC since it allowed the use of any carrier and this rifle is a piston (Adams Arms conversion kit).
Had considered this stock for a PDW also, but it is heavy. The weight works for this rifle since it has some stuff on it and will occasionally wear a can. The PDW won't get any of that, so the weight will blow the balance on that rifle. Law side folder will be the answer there I think.
The MVB has been outstanding. I like that it can be fired collapsed. Zero cycling issues from round number 1 with all sorts of ammo. Cheek weld is not great, but it's a CQB rifle, not a precision gun. Once you get used to what it offers there is no issue.
It's called The Skunk now for the reason below...
quote:The MVB and Troy both use standard carriers. I believe there's one other that also does. I figure I'm only out $12 in shipping if I don't like the lock-up/cheek weld.
That's all true.
I wouldn't recommend firing at all with the Law due to the probability of damaging the device.
MVB's stock was very attractive for that reason. Additionally, they seem to be the only one of that style to allow a regular/nonproprietary bolt carrier.

Back to handguards for a moment (I saw another thread on types but trying to keep this kinda question in this thread). I decided to go with M-lok after digesting discussion in this thread. Now looking at sights I might mount. If the spec says "fits most 1913 Picatinny-railed hand guards" can I expect it to fit M-lok? I see this kind of language from different manufacturers and different devices.

Just got a silencerco trifecta flash hider for my 6.8 build. why do y'all suppose this doesn't use a crush washer?

Just finished this one up after I got the stamp this week. Figured this would be the most appropriate place to post it. Thanks to EyeGuy for the upper/lower!

quote:I have done it, although not on a rifle. I used it on a custom GI Joe I painted. It works well. The keys are to use natural sea sponges and to be careful not to overload them with paint.
Anyone tried out the sponge camo method? I'm thinking of trying it out on few builds.
