    those things look so gay... designed for body armor, IIRC

    body armor or no, isn't one the AR's strengths the fact that the stock is on the same plane as the barrel & action? (unlike an AK or a Thompson for instance)

    i've never had an issue w/armor (including SAPI) and normal telescoping stocks. i guess i'm not HSLD enough for the Duostock

    Duostocks were popular around 10 years ago...IIRC they were supposed to address cheek weld issues and conform with body armor. You don't see them much any more. Obviously, there are better options out there.

    wow. i'd never seen one before.

    then again, around 10 years ago the only stock i'd ever used on an AR was the A2.

    thanks for the info.

    They still are making them -- I talked to the people at the SHOT Show. They were right next to Tango Down if I remember right.

    The idea is that we all now wear body armor and we all have a high rifle position so that we don't have to bend down to look through the sites, etc. So the stock is made to kind of sit on your shoulder so you can sight without having to bend your neck and have it conform to your body armor.

    Or something like that
    • formerly known as "eguns-com"
    • M4Carbine required notice/disclaimer: I run eguns.com
    •eguns.com has not been actively promoted in a long time though I still do Dillon special
    orders, etc. and I have random left over inventory.
    •"eguns.com" domain name for sale (not the webstore). Serious enquiries only.

    I have seen and shot with one before and it is a piece of crap IMHO. There are much better options out there these days.
