Poor Choice for Control and Comfort |

This stock appears to be a good idea, but when you evaluate how recoil of an AR operates in a linear motion, you begin to realize that it's a bad idea to lower the point where the stock contacts the shoulder. Instead of having the recoil pushing directly back into like what would happen with a regular stock, this stock turns the lower contact portion into an axis/pivot point. This then caused the stock to rely on your cheek weld to stabilize and control the recoil, which is not comfortable. The rifle becomes harder to control, especially under the rapid fire you would find in the CQB environments that this was supposedly made for. Further, the stock will slide down as you hold the rifle, giving a poor base of stability. It also requires you to put the rifle in the crutch or your shoulder at the joint instead of a more inward position like many people do for CQB/rapid engagement shooting. If you hold it in a more inner position, the stock will dig into your clavicle.
