I picked up my Elcan and put it on the gun. Have yet to zero it, but it hasn't changed the weight or feel a lot. A little, yes, but not a ton. Mine is a very copper color, I need to go back and look at the post where the differences are more explained so I know which version I have.

Haha I wish it was something like an optic. Maybe I got y'all too excited, but....
....for those keeping up with mk18 and block II rifles, I found this for $10: Authentic CAR stock made out of metal complete with buffer tube and old car nut.

Mattyvac, is the finish on yours plastic, or a textured coating? I ask because it looks like one of the old repros like what I used to own.

Check if it is commerical diameter. As I said, it looks just like the old EA knockoffs. The old Colt stocks had a sort of shiny rubberized finish.
Edit: Check under the latch for a marking. Look for an N, NN or N1.Many, but not all, of the EA stocks were marked with a B. Edit again: Disregard. I don't think yours is a repro. The repros had a different profile on their top sling loops and the bodies tend to have a circular mark on them. |

So do I win or not? lol This stock fits over my mil spec buffer tubes on all my rifles, the catch bolt just needs to be loosened a bit so the pin will bite into one of the 6 positions of the buffer tubes. Besides that I can put it on any mil spec buffer I want! |

Besides that I can put it on any mil spec buffer I want! That could be an EA repro or a Bushy repro. EA also made an aluminum CAR stock that was smooth like the original Colt stocks. This is my old XM177E1 that I built several years ago using a 14.5" midlength barrel shortened down to somewhere around 13" with one of 45Bravo's pinned repro moderators. This gun was TITS but I sold it to be more tacticool. The stock I used was a smooth aluminum EA unit.  |

Pretty good day at the range. 300 or so rounds. A couple of mishaps. Had 2 stoppages with Wolf 75grn ammo, due to the chamber getting so hot the lacquer melted. Also, my SF M300 shot off (the mount must suck or something), but I found it downrange and reattached it. Lots of pics and a video.

I guess I'll wait to see how the optic/suppressor market is when I get the funds together. Still, less loud, better muzzle compensation... that's more convenient and valuable for me, as I don't shoot places that really require 4x.
