    I thought the MOE was fairly bad for plucking beard hair, good to know (?) there’s worse. For me the MOE grabs at the gap between the stock and the tube. Easy enough to fix, though. A few ranger bands, or tape or vet wrap or whatever, takes care of it.

    Anyone else using a LaRue Tactical Rat Stock? I have one and I like it a lot. Although admittedly I'm not a big time operator.

    I also use CTRs and a STR.

    I have one on the 6.5 Grendel Ultimate Upper (and lower) that I bought several years ago. I use that rifle off bipod, bag, or barricade, and it works just fine - it has a pretty straight butt, though.

    I really like the LaRue receiver extensions.

    BTW the RAT is on sale.

    I've been using the MOE SL stock for years with no real complaints. Does what it should, doesn't get in the way.

    On my A2 carry handle rifle I like using a Vltor EMod. The wider stock seems to work well with iron sights. I don't like it when using a magnified optic though.

    I was very surprised when I borrowed a friend's rifle recently. His stock felt great, and I was shocked to see "FAB Defense" stamped on the side of it:

    The toe works well for bringing the rifle up and transitioning. I only shot it offhand and didn't try any long range or prone work, but I was genuinely surprised at how much "better" it felt than my normal MOE SL stock.

    I also like them. Seems like every time I picked up a carbine I fidgeted with the stock, only to set it where the fixed stock is fixed.

    Eagle Armalite Lower/Bushmaster Pencil Barrel Upper.

    Midwest Industries Rail/Viking Tactics Ring/200 Lumen Surefire G2/Tango Down? VFG

    Specter Single Point Sling.

    Aimpoint Pro which replaced a Rev E EO-Tech when they bought them all back.

    In more than a day and less than 5 years I will upgrade to something simple and light and go to a two point I suspect.
    Easy lift on this would be:

    A 2 point sling

    $59 for a 600 lumen G2X Tactical to replace the 200 lumen

    $10 for a rubber but pad for the GI stock off Amazon

    https://www.amazon.com/TACBRO-AR15-R...3337797&sr=8-5

    $10 for an LED upgrade for the 200 lumen as a kitchen drawer /dog walking light.

    Interesting (but not surprising) that you prefer different style stocks for different type optics. I can see that being a thing.

    IME which stock works best is based on individual factors including the shape of your face, and to a lesser extent body type.

    I bought into the LMT SOPMOD’s a long time ago and most of my guns wore them. I had a few lighter guns that had CTR’s but nothing was ever as comfortable as the SOPMOD. I had a S&W 15-22 that I tried in a few SC matches and did okay with a MOE on it but when I put a B5 SOPMOD on it, I started winning. Everything just lines up better for me, they don’t pull my beard and I use WOTG slings just threading the sling into the stock so no anti or limited rotation is needed.

    I’m just a hunter and shooter but the SOPMOD is on all my guns now. LMT or Colt RE’s are all I run, I saw one RE break and it was a commercial Bushmaster used by a cop that would charge his gun by slamming the butt on the rocker panel as he exited his cruiser. Yes I told him it was stupid after I fixed it for him. I rolled a 4 wheeler with an AR across the front rack once and the LMT tube stood up better than I did.

    I really miss my A1, I lost it and it’s by far my favorite.

    Second is my Ace Ultralight. They still sell them https://www.brownells.com/rifle-part...prod78288.aspx
