    Default Primary Weapons Enhanced Buffer tube

    Anybody running one of these?

    http://www.bowerstactical.com/store/...ec-p-2497.html

    I am trying to finish up my lower and having a hard time picking out a setup as I would like to buy a kit and be done with it. Not to mention the shelves seem to be rather bare these days for some reason...

    Or even better anybody want to sell me something good?

    I am considering the following to finish up this build before I purchase an upper:
    - Magpul ACS
    - Vltor EMod kit(http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/Vltor...it%20black.htm)

    Personally, I like the VLTOR stocks. The Emod was a bit large for my tastes but I really like the Imod. Here is a picture of the Imod on my 14.5" middy. I am putting together another rifle now and will probably put the Imod clubfoot on it.

    Thanks for the input. This is my first build off a Spike's lower which is done as of a few minutes ago except for the receiver extension/stock/takedown pin install. So close!
    I may be making a trip to Bower's tomorrow at lunch to check out my options.

    Bower's is an awesome store. My only gripe is their selection of furniture is pretty much limited to the Magpul stuff.

    If you want to check out the VLTOR stocks you might try contacting Mike at Lock and Load Armory. He usually has some of the VLTOR stuff in stock.

    For what it's worth, I've had the Magpul stocks (MOE, CTR, ACS, and ACS-L) and prefer the VLTOR. I find the ACS and ACS-L too long and a bit on the heavy side. The MOE and CTR are nice but they seem heavier than the Imod to me.

    Good luck on whatever you decide.

    Well it can't hurt to try a couple out. I have an MOE on another rifle and it is fine but wanted to see what else was out there since I can.

    I have a Magpul ACS and I love it.

    However, cant argue with the Vltor, its also a great stock. I've ran that one before.

    Still love my ACS though.

    Some Pics for ya we all know Pics are King

    This was my ACS. The first shot was when the rifle was a standard 16" mid-length. The second shot was after the "dissipator" conversion.





    And here is the same rifle with the ACS-L. I liked the ACS-L better than the ACS. To me the ACS was just too wide. Plus, I didn't need the storage tubes anyways.

    VLTOR and Magpul both make a good stock. I'd avoid the VLTOR if you have a beard. It turns out the cheek-weld bits on the stock are great at catching facial hair and tearing it out when you dismount the rifle from your shoulder.... ask me how I know.
