You may have noticed the unique stock on Ohio Ordnance Works’ New 338 Norma Mag Lightweight Medium Machine Gun, the Recoil Enhanced Automatic Precision Rifle (REAPR).
It’s the Modular Machine Gun Stock from B5 Systems. Made from long glass fiber advanced polymer, it features an adjustable length of pull, integral 4-position adjustable cheek comb, low profile shoulder stay, and recoil dampening buttpad.
The stock was designed to offer enhanced ergonomics and feature points for machine guns. Although it debuted on the OOW REAPR but they also have a 1913 compatible version, with 240 and 249 variants in the pipeline. The stock features an optimized cheek weld while still allowing side folding capability (operating system dependent). The weight of the stock is dependent upon the weapon system/attachment point.
Presently available to Government and OEM customers in Black and Coyote Brown.
The REAPR is also outfitted with the P23 Grip and MLOK Rail Covers from B5 Systems.
All those thoughtful design details, but no provisions whatsoever for mounting a sling?!
It’s on the receiver extension, I think… other images appear to show a loop on the top of the extension.
The gun has built in provisions for slings fore and aft that are ambi in nature. No need to put them in the stock for this.
So the wire thing is so the stock rests on your shoulder so you can control elevation by moving your shoulder?
Yes, its the famous ‘shoulder thing that goes up.’
Yes, but I wonder if could be made a little more ergonomic? I imagine that after laying prone for a couple hours (ambush, etc) that wire might start to dig in to your shoulder a wee bit.
