JG from United States, MI Public Profile

The fit and finish is superb. Anodizing is uniform, all the edges and lines are clean. Very lightweight. It just plain looks s€xy. The only thing that I would change (but doesn't detract from the rating because it's a personal preference), I wish they eliminated the built in QD swivels at the 3, 6, and 9 positions and replaced them with another mlok slot. Also, no swag sticker Midwest?! Come on!! Lol

Looks really nice, very smooth high quality nitride coating.

Very functional. I wanted something short and light, this fits the bill. This also helps with concussion, it reduces recoil a little bit. If you're looking for a muzzle with a small footprint that looks nice, I highly recommend checking this one out!

Best combination of weight, cost, made in USA, and aesthetics there is! Lots of mlok slots make for easy/fast barrel cooling as well as mounting options offset between the 12,3,6,9 o'clock positions. I have both the AR-15 and AR-10 versions. Word to the wise, when they say apply minimal torque to the clamp screws/bolts, they absolutely mean it, they strip extremely easy. I could subtract a star for that, but they do warn the installer not to over tighten, it's my fault for not following the instructions.

I have had two of these. First was returned for being out of spec, didn't work at all. The second one I received was also out of spec, but technically still worked albeit poorly. The issue is simple, poor QC/machining. It's a cheap, good looking ambi charging handle, if that is enough for you to try this out against better judgment, on your head be it. Just remember when you find yourself mortaring your AR to get this unstuck or when you charge your AR and it sounds like nails down a chalk board, you were warned!

I hate when people have unrealistic expectations for something they purchased, or when they don't spend much time with a product before reviewing it. I have had this stock on an AR-10 20" 308 build for about 6 months now, and I'm sorry to say it is a disappointment.

First off, at north of $60, you're in the magpul/B5/BCM area of the market, and you expect performance that competes at that price point. The wobble in this stock is extreme, it is as bad as a $20 stock that I purchased exclusively for aesthetics for my AR-15. At both ends of the tube too, not just when it's fully telescopesd and making less contact with the tube. You can tighten the clamping bolt for a snug fit, but then you lose the ability to adjust the stock position without then reloosening the clamp. There are ways to jury rig the tube/stock to reduce wobble, but again, for a $60+ stock I shouldn't have to.

Second, the butt pad has no grip/tackyness to it, it feels more like the polymer body that the stock is made out of than rubber. Less of an issue for me personally but still relevant, the pad is rock hard.

Nitpicky gripes: no included QD attachment, finicky adjustment/telescope latch

I would return it but I'm way past the return window.

Pros
Anesthetics: uniform black color and very smooth polymer construction, attractive at a glance, modularity (can be modified with Luth's proprietary parts)

Cons
Excess wobble, no grip on the buttpad, poor price/performance ratio
