FLAWLS1 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I think I'm going to get one for my M4, but does anyone here know if they make them without the cheek riser? I want a black one with the limb saver. Where's the cheapest place to get this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM4robbins Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 They do offer it sans the cheek riser. It is best to buy direct, no advantage buying elsewhere that I'm aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timer00 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 You can buy with or without cheek riser as said above.. But if you buy the non cheek riser stock first you won't be able to use the riser after the fact because the stock comes with rails for the riser only when you buy the stock with cheek riser option.

Yes, I know. I'm not fond of the cheek riser and I'll never put any kind of optics on it so I have to use for it. What site did you order your stock from?

Amsdorf Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Why limit your options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renault Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Why limit your options? Probably for aesthetic preference. I personally like the way the cheek riser looks, but if he's never going to use optics on his M4 and he likes the way it looks... well too each their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Fab Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 DING DING!!! We have a winner folks. I don't run optics on my M4 either and that cheek riser has always looked fugly to me. I don't run an Urbino, and wouldn't, but agree 100% on the aesthetics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason why I want one is because the original stock butt pad seems way to hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeper Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 The only reason I bought an Urbino was to reduce LOP... so I could take a stance more squared to the target. And, I must admit, the Limbsaver pad is quite nice vs. the stock pad. C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Fab Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Why wouldn't you? The only reason why I want one is because the original stock butt pad seems way to hard. Because I like the OEM C-stock. I also wasn't keen on how Mesa Tactical didn't stay true to the original design intent of the M4. They ended up using a screw mechanism that is accessed from inside the stock rather than using a "captured" method like all the OEM stocks. There have been several instances where the stock has loosened up while shooting. To complicate matters, some folks ended up using Loctite to secure the screw and have then had problems removing the stock. Personally, I would buy the standard (non-pistol grip) OEM stock before an Urbino. The LOP is a non issue for me as well and I am only 5'9".

timer00 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) Got mine from Freedom Fighter Tactical This was a response to FLAWLS1's question about where I ordered my urbino stock setup from. I forgot to reply with his quote. Edited August 27, 2012 by timer00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stock loosened once since I didn't screw it too tight, but since I cranked it down some extra and through 75 rounds of 00 buck and slugs has not gone anywhere. We'll see after many more rounds yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Case Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Got mine at Brownells. Their price was competitive. As for mounting, mine rattled loose initially because I didn't tighten it enough. After that I used blue loctite (not purple, not red) made sure it was a bit tighter and no issues. You could use purple loctite if you were concerned about removing the screw later but I don't think it's necessary. I like the reduced LOP and the recoil pad. It's fast and very easy on your shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timer00 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 How do you like your forend? Does it feel like a better quality made part compared to the stock one? Thinking about getting one In comparison to the OEM stock it is a better quality especially with the limbsaver pad which just completes it if you ask me. You can just get the standard end which isn't as cushy as the limbsaver pad thats a matter of preference I guess. As "Case" mentioned its feels so much better to shoulder and handle. Yesterday I shot 25 (7 1/2 Bird) 15 (2 3/4 Buck) 15 (2 3/4 Slugs) and 20 (00 3" Magnum) and had little or no shoulder pain and I am only 160lbs. I think the limbsaver pad does do a pretty good job in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FFT hand guards are the same quality pretty much as the stock from Mesa and color matched of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renault Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 In my experience, I like the urbino... but the FFT forend isn't a perfect fit and is harder to get it on, than the stock forend. I use it solely because it matches the color of the stock, as I have purchased mine in tan. [ATTACH=CONFIG]1595[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it solely because it matches the color of the stock, as I have purchased mine in tan. My FFT forend was tough the first/second time but nice and easy after. The directions for it mention it may fit tougher initially due to the "tighter manufacturing tolerances" til it "breaks" in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
