Pretty SL-K looking. Also that sling loop looks like it could be compatible with Mlok. I doubt it, but one can dream.
Ummm yeah last bullet point…

Yep. We didn’t mold in a QD solution so that we’d have enough room for direct attachment of sling webbing for those looking to shave as much weight as possible, but it is indeed a full M-LOK slot, usable from either side, that can accept a single slot M-LOK QD mount for those more interested in the compact size and full functionality that are willing to accept the extra weight of a QD and a QD socket.
Looks like a modernized—i.e. stronger—Magpul version of the original Colt Fiberlite “N” stock, and a nicer version of the LWRC PDW stock.
I think they will sell a ton of these. Very, very nice.
An interesting point there…we definitely looked at the fiberlite/XM177 offerings for inspiration. We tested a bunch of different buttpad designs when making this stock, and we found that a more vertical heel to toe angle, much like the original fiberlite stock, actually worked/felt best under recoil when the footprint of the buttpad became as small as it is here, so it’s more vertical than the big brother SL. What’s old is new again.
added to parts list for next build
will this be released for commercial spec tubes?
Hmmm….. I have not looked back after adopting BCM’s MOD 0 Gunfighter stock, until now.
