DEBWB Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Anyone ever attempt to shorten the LOP on the M4 pistol grip stock? I purchased an extra stock to attempt this and my first inclination was to cut an appropriate length off the end and install a Limbsaver slip on... Unfortunately I read a few reviews on amazon and elsewhere claiming they are sticky and "walk" over the side of the stock after a few shots. Now I'm thinking of trying one of the grind-to-fit, but this involves purchasing a recoil pad shaping fixture and possibly a tabletop disc/ belt sander. Maybe I'm better off just buying a Mesa Tactical (or other brand) to simplify things. Any personal experiences, recommendations or opinions will be greatly appreciated.

D'zaster Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I'm running Mesa Urbino w limbsaver w adjustable cheek riser. Works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT111 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I have the Mesa Urbino on my M2 Tactical. I really like it. Big difference in the length of pull. Solid piece. I’m considering getting one for my M4 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTycoon Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Here is a third recommendation for the Mesa Urbino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEBWB Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Thanks to everyone that has responded. Looks like the Mesa Tactical M4 Urbino is the winner. Unless someone comments to the contrary; I'm going to go with the Urbino with Limbsaver. Reducing LOP from 14 3/8" (?) to 12 1/2" should make it a lot easier to shoot. Thanks everyone!!!

calviroman Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 There have been several members who have shortened PG stocks. I did one back in 2010 when C-Stocks were hard to come by. You will have to use a "grind to fit" butt pad. You also have to fabricate new mounting holes for the butt pad screws. A shortened OEM stock is "nicer" than the mesa aftermarket option but is several hours of work to get right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigofirearms Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 My shortened stock with limbsaver recoil pad. Don't recommend as it is a ton of work. I like the Urbino stock but it is way too short for me and the grip is too blocky for me. People sometimes put the original rubber grip on.
