Sniper Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Can anyone answer the following? Does the C Stock fit on and adjust on the standard M4 recoil tube (my recoil tube has three notches on its top and side). Can you add a Limbsaver to the C stock can Limbsaver custom fit one for you? Is the cheek riser on the C stock adjustable up and down for optic height? Quote
Broken Legend Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Yes. Dunno, You'll have to ask them. No. Quote
heckler&kochp2000 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Yes correct recoil tube. Dont know. maybe just a little with some washers or longer screws. Quote

It sounds as if your recoil tube assembly is the proper unit. Can you add a Limbsaver to the C stock can Limbsaver custom fit one for you? I'm sure a gunsmith could do this. You might even be able to do it yourself. Is the cheek riser on the C stock adjustable up and down for optic height? The only direct adjustment is the position of the stock. Example, in the middle position, the cheek riser is higher than fully extended. Edited January 22, 2011 by StrangerDanger Quote
Sniper Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 Does the middle position allow for easy optics viewing (Eotech flat mount)? Is the view in that position better than the synthetic pistol grip factory stock (which is really bad)? Quote
needncash Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Both of your questions are somewhat opinion based, but yes and yes (for me). Quote
Sniper Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 So you can see your optics from the middle postion and maintain a cheek weld. I can't with the synthetic factory stock. Quote
KB Fab Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Does the middle position allow for easy optics viewing (Eotech flat mount)? Is the view in that position better than the synthetic pistol grip factory stock (which is really bad)? Mine does and I use a Leupold Prismatic on a Larue mount with the middle spacer. Yes on the second question as well. Quote
needncash Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Yes. If you're about 6 ft tall, 180 pounds, and have a normal size head and neck like me you should be happy with the center position for handling and optics. Quote
StrangerDanger Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Does the middle position allow for easy optics viewing (Eotech flat mount)? Is the view in that position better than the synthetic pistol grip factory stock (which is really bad)? I would say yes to both of these as well. However, I don't think the iron sights are very easy to use in the middle position. Quote
Sniper Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 Nice photo, thanks! It is good to hear that you can see through your optic at the height you have it mounted from the middle position. BTW why mount it so high; co-witness through irons? Quote
Sniper Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 KB Fab: Forgot to ask, how does that muzzle break work for you with 00 or slugs? Quote
FloridaMarine Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 KB Fab, the mag tube extension matches the stock finish perfectly. Did you refinish an extension or purchase one that already matched the original finish?? Nice shotgun. Quote
Sniper Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 That is the Kips Ti Mag. tube. I have one as well; they are the finest made, flawless match to the M4 barrel. Don't even consider anything else. Quote
KB Fab Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Nice photo, thanks! It is good to hear that you can see through your optic at the height you have it mounted from the middle position. BTW why mount it so high; co-witness through irons? Because of the kind of optic the Prismatic is, I needed to get it farther back on the weapon than a standard red dot for proper eye relief. The spacer kept me from removing the rear ghost ring sight to accomodate the optic. It just so happened that it's the perfect height for me. I haven't put any rounds thru the brake yet but will report back when I do. With the RA chokes, I imagine it will perform admirably. KB Fab, the mag tube extension matches the stock finish perfectly. Did you refinish an extension or purchase one that already matched the original finish?? Nice shotgun. I purchased it from carriercomp in the finish that matches the weapon. It's an absolutely stellar part. Here's a better view. Edited January 25, 2011 by KB Fab Quote
FloridaMarine Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 "Kips Ti" mag tube? Is that the same as the carriercomp? Quote
KB Fab Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 "Kips Ti" mag tube? Is that the same as the carriercomp? Yes it is. Quote
FloridaMarine Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks. Still a little new so I can't translate all abbreviations yet. Speaking of optics, which is generally the most preferred for a shotgun? I would imagine one which provides the largest field of view. I think Trijicon makes a reflex with a large sight radius. Quote
Sniper Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 The choice of optics is always highly personal. For a shotgun I find a 1X (unlimited eye relief) (rapid target acquisition) with a lit reticle to work best. I have used a BSA red dot (Walmart $30, hold zero nice) but now have an Eotech 517 Holographic ($380 E-Bay). I hear nice things about Aimpoints as well. Quote
