Hookster Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Hey All, There are pics of the cheek riser that goes with Mesa's Urbino M4 stock. Check out post #42 of this thread: http://www.mesatactical.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=722&p=2 Hookster Quote
StrangerDanger Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 The riser looks pretty nice. As soon as they're released, I'm buying two. I want to use a padded VTAC and push button releases for it. I was out with the M4 the other night for about eight hours. Some sling options would be great. I hate the factory rear mount loop. It hampers my ability to pull the stock into my shoulder pocket from a slung position. Quote
Hookster Posted November 6, 2009 Author Posted November 6, 2009 Yeah, I noticed there isn't a visible mechanism for locking the riser to desired height. I think it must have a tab that goes into the slot on the top of the stock (visible in post #34 of the Mesa thread) then maybe the top buttplate screw/bolt secures it at the height you want. I'm looking forward to trying one of these out! Hookster Quote
Unobtanium Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 They have re-invented the wheel. Fail. For all the 922r whiners, it's still a PG stock. For the rest of us, it is still non-collapsing, and looks about as "cool" as a toyota Prius. Quote
Hookster Posted November 6, 2009 Author Posted November 6, 2009 No whining here Unobtanium, But, since I can't legally put a collapsable stock on here in CA. I look forward to having the option to try a quality stock with a little shorter LOP and the cheek riser might offer a better cheek weld for using optics. Like you recently noted in your post here: http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20336 it's hard to get a good placement with the OEM PG stock. Take Care, Hookster Quote

Take Care, Hookster Ah, yeah, I forgot about Kalifornia. Yeah, I can see a few being sold to states like that. Quote

That's all the ATF cares about. Quote

With the prices collapsible stocks are going for, you'd think they'd clone that one instead of making a shorter, fixed stock for LEOs . . . Quote

You took the words right outta my mouth. People are paying 700-800 bucks for thoes things:confused: Quote
LeoAtrox Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 With the prices collapsible stocks are going for, you'd think they'd clone that one instead of making a shorter, fixed stock for LEOs . . . They were developing a collapisble stock ... But there is a greater potential market for a fixed stock because it falls within more areas' legal restrictions. Plus, fixed stocks simplify instruction and training; and, in some cases, are more durable than collapsible stocks. The Mesa collapsible stock is on hold at least until development of the fixed stock is complete. Quote

Mesa is also working on a collapsable model but the fixed PG stock has priority right now. There are some prototype pics in post #2 of this thread: http://www.mesatactical.com/forum/vi...php?id=722&p=1 Later, Hookster Quote
