Cali Compliance from United States, CA Public Profile

This is my first foray into Luth-AR parts of any kind and I am overall impressed based on the price I paid. This is a very stout rifle stock and has a pretty good feel to it when shooting, and the A2 buffer kit that came with it is working very well. It was put on an 18" Rifle-Length GS chambered in .223 Wylde and the A2 buffer and spring that came with it had the action working very smoothly and ejection was perfectly timed (3-4 o'clock) which was a previous problem with this particular rifle.

Installation is fairly simple, but the instructions can be a bit confusing. The rubber buttpad in particular was a little odd to remove as it was seated very tight, as if it did not come off, but once it came off it went back on with no issues. Underneath the buttpad there is a screw sitting freely in a + shaped screw hole that installs into the tube once the stock is mounted to the tube and receiver, then the buttpad goes over that and then the two outer hex screws are reinstalled.

The Buttpad is very hard rubberized material (harder than Magpul materials), but on a .223/5.56, that shouldn't be an issue.

The LOP is perfect for my size 5'8", but for my father, who is 6'3", it feels a little short, and that is my biggest con as some people may not consider this. Since it is my rifle I won't knock it too much for that, but it is important to take note of. Keep that in mind because there is no adjustment on this model, if you want that feature, I believe the MBA-1 is what you seek, but

It works. Not great, but the price is very hard to beat and the tube construction is good but the OD does feel a little bigger than other Commercial tubes because the stock was a very very tight fit.

Castle nut was fine, end plate was sliding out of the key way so use a different end plate. The tube itself is decent enough, its "enhanced" which basically means its more annoying to get it threaded in to hold down the retaining spring. Buffer is weighted right 3oz, but the material of the buffer housing is sus.

Feels fairly sturdy for the $18-24 I paid for it. Lugging around an 18" .223 Wylde that was a bit too long for the 36" bags I had. Its no $100 bag but for a tenth of the price I have no complaints. I purchased the 40" bag and it is 40".

Installed on a WASR 10/63, Fits well, comfortable, tacticool. Installation is a bit of a chore, but doable. The piece that connects the gas block to the receiver on the AK has to be put into the top of the handguard backwards, then spun around to fit very snuggly into the correct place. This is in the instructions but can be a little confusing due to weird wording. Bottom of handguard DOES have a pre-installed heatshield. Most important to note is that the extended handguard covers the small block which holds the bottom in place to the receiver for no wiggle. On this particular AK, there was a steel sling loop jutting out that would NOT allow the bottom half of the handguard to install. So be warned if you have this sling loop on your handguard locking piece, its going to have to be California Non-Compliant. A dremel tool will do the trick. Possibly the non-extended MOE handguard will allow the loop to not get BTFOd. Magpul quality as always. After sighting-in and shooting the WASR, there was no problems with the handguard at all, it did not get too hot, it didnt wiggle or come loose, and its still very california compliant when not installed on a firearm. I knock one star simply because my installation was quite the chore, but your mileage will vary.
