Thread: A class Thumbhole stocks , what do you prefer

What thumbhole stock do you prefer for your AR , Spear mags , Gun city , Servo or any others . Any problems with them , do they feel and fit ok . Thanks

I have the Spear, but haven't fitted it yet.
Forum member Glu did the Servo, by all accounts it doesn't have the issue of destroying the selector spring when removing the stock after fitting, unlike most other thumbhole stocks.
The Spear needs a little bit of work to prevent this. Ie drill out selector spring hole completely and fit grub screw.

I fitted the Spear to my blackout AR, just used a stanley knife blade to hold the spring back as I slipped the stock on. It's a skinny arse stock thou, no meat at all in the grip, needs bulking out IMO.

where's a link to the servo stock?

Servo A-Category Stock For AR15

oh

I had a play with the guncity one a few months back and i found it to be really good. I run a hogue and an A2 stock on some of my gear and it feels just the same (for obvious reasons) but i havnt tried the other two options. I will probably stick with what i know and (cough!) go with the guncity variant on the A Cat build.

Doesn't that servo one make an ass of the intent of the law.
I had a look at a spear stock during the week, I wasn't that impressed. I thought the finish with the moulding on this one was very average. No ergonomics with the grip. I didn't realise they are plastic, the picture on the website is very flattering.
Functional, but I agree only just beefy enough looking on first impressions.

They work, as advertised to make you compliant. I have given up trying, Sold my A cat lower and go back to the other version.

the intent of the law is fucking retarded and pointless, so who cares? following the letter of the law isn't making an ass of it, a loophole, etc, it's compliance

Some of us or was it only me paid for a digit spears one that would comply f in ages ago Still waiting and over it to be sure. Now no longer a commercial advertiser by the look of it either

Haha deep breath dude. I ordered my suppressor about a year ago (not complaining at all BTW spanners, very thankful for your generous offer), just means when it arrives its that much better.

I was the same in being surprised by the cheapness looking of the spear stock that I handled in reloaders. Felt it didn't really balance the rifle very well, too light and doesn't look like it could take much abuse.

I think you missed my point.

Why ?.

The GC moulds a houge to an A2 stock and we mould an A2 grip to a tube stock , is there a difference . Our stock follows what is outlined as an A-cat compliant stock . You cannot remove the grip from the stock without hacksawing the linking support .

Exactly, your stock is compliant.

I probably didn't articulate my original statement well. I see it could be read as a question or otherwise.
My point was about the law rather than criticism of your product (which I think looks very good), sorry for any confusion.

I fail to see the advantage of having people retro fit stocks/grips to be compliant with the law, when the compliant options are basically the same thing for all other intents and purposes.
Seems pointless.
The intent of the law to me is to restrict/classify the rifle based on the pistol grip, however, physically join that exact same A2 grip to the rear stock and its now compliant.

I agree with a higher security requirement for an MSSAs, I'm even ok with their registration. Other than that, I see them as just another firearm that any licenced 'fit and proper' person should be able to enjoy for their chosen discipline of our sport.

Sorry to the OP for getting their thread off topic and many thanks to Glu & Digit for giving NZ shooters options.
