Re: Battle Stocks for ARs

I am a vulgar person, profanities make their way out of my mouth with most things I say. Even nice ones. I have attitude towards everything. Im not emotionally invested as most of you are making me out to be. I just intensely said screw magpul. They have nothing I am interested in. Im not a formal person, I am from Texas, and do not care how the things I say affect people. I bad trait I know, but I dont care about that stuff. I just simply wanted to know what other companies are offering stocks that are similar to what ACE LTD is making. Then I made a rude comment about Magpul, and this thread has veered far off topic. So, I will be civil, I apologize for being a "forum troll" and upsetting the majority of you. Its that time of the month for my girlfriend, so Im sure it is for alot of you too. Im not the type to tuck my tail between my legs and not post when you start talking shit.
And about the press checking, Ive never heard it called press checking when talking about the ARs. That is a pistol term and I am stupid for not realizing it. But one of the gun mags I subscribe to has an editor who referred to visually checking for a round in your AR similar to that of press checking your pistols. So, Ill admit I was dumbfounded on that one. But atleast I got press checking right.
Ill admit, Im no AR genius. Ive been raised on bolt guns and this is actually my first AR. Im not following any creed or specific goal to building my AR10 except to build is as tough as possible. Something that could be passed down 50years from now and still be a viable weapon to take into combat. If they made a stock out of all aluminum, it would not be very heavy, better suited to balance the bigger 308 ARs, and would be strong as shit as long as the right material was used. So I apologize if I seem to have contradicted myself. I still dont see how I have with my posts, but everyone has their own opinion. </div></div>
I will state one more time, then leave this thread alone as it is apparent the notions here are not gaining any traction.
Press-check is a tactic, not a weapons handling procedure and such it has nothing to do with weapon loading condition. But, since you assumed that's the direction it was going, I'll clue you in- to close a bolt after checking the chamber on a rifle without a FA, you push the BCG forward using the notch cut out for the spring-detent on the dust cover.
This was a demonstration on the fact that VERY important tactics and procedures are not something you just happen across from some light reading. Despite the fact that you had previously presented yourself as having tactical, MOUT/CQB and weapons employment knowledge gained from extensive research, an incredibly simple, yet highly vital tactic such as press-check escaped your grasp. You related the knowledge you gained through discussion and books to the knowledge trigger pullers gain through formal school training, informal unit training, doctrine, field manuals and SOP's. In fact, the two simply do not relate.
I'm stepping out of this thread now- the entertainment value is gone and it is apparent you are dead-set on the need to bludgeon things with your AR.
How old are you? You avoided that question before.
