    Thanks, but I wouldn't waste your time. I think somebody said things like that can't be sent through the mail. I don't know if it's true or not, but I wouldn't waste the money. Plus, when wearing our garbage body armor, getting an adequate cheek weld and getting the stock to sit snugly in the shoulder pocket is nearly impossible no matter which stock is used.

    Still using those IOTVs eh? I hated that, we'd have so many issues when we switched from the old Interceptor to those... Remember, all your equipment is made by the lowest bidder.

    yeah we do. IOTV's and equally crap-tastic plate carriers. My IOTV ripped within the first month in country... and it had only been on one convoy when it ripped. garbage.

    Now this is an administrative pee pee whacking. Someone is going to remedial writing for bureaucrats training:

    Army officials acknowledged June 6 that TACOM’s message was poorly written and not intended as a directive on the use of PMAGs. Matthew Bourke, an Army spokesman at the Pentagon responding to questions from Mililtary.com, said the message should have included guidance that the final decision rests with commanders in the field.

    “At best, the message is incomplete; at worst the message allows soldiers to jump to the wrong conclusions,” Bourke said. “Maintenance Information Messages [from TACOM] are permissive. They are not an order. They are not a directive. All content and direction in those messages are optional for the recipient.”
