Anyone running one of the Troy PDW stocks on their AR? They’re quite a bit of money for a stock, but I’m really considering one for an 11 inch SBR. My main concern is reliability issues with the shortened buffer tube and modified bolt. Any problems?
zero reliability issues. took a 3 day, 1200 class using my 10.5in with Troy PDW. I’d say its good to go. But I’m selling the upper and the stock, it just wasn’t what I was wanting after all.
We’re you able to get a good cheek weld? Rickety at all?
There is a company that makes a PDW type stock that does not require a modified BCG.
I imagine it’d have to be quite a bit longer.
no issues with check weld
What didn’t you like about it?
Just not what I wanted after all.
I have the nea css stock, functionally identical to the Troy on a 300blk sbr I use for pig hunting. It’s been perfectly reliable with no signs of wear in the 500+ rounds I’ve used it with.
That being said, ergonomically it’s not that great. A few rounds here and there are tolerable, but the cheek weld sucks and I’ve now experienced “shoulder bite”.
So, functionally great, but practically so-so. Unless you are getting in and out of cars a lot or are buying it for the cool factor, I would think again…
It uses a buffer insert for a full bcg.
Is that the one that uses a standard BCG?
the nea uses a modified bolt carrier. i believe the mvb arc stock uses a standard bolt carrier.
i’ve run an nea ccs stock with a number of upper’s in 5.56 and 300blk and really like mine. they seem to have a like it or hate it following. if possible it’s one of those things you should try before you buy if you can.
I dont see how you could get any kind of cheek weld without having the stock completely collapsed.
