Only downside is the lack of risers/buttstocks - Mission First Tactical Battlelink Minimalist Mil-Spec Stock for AR-15

I really like the look and feel of this buttstock. I haven't had it in the heat yet, but it does conduct the ambient temperature which is different than plastic. Install for me involved taking both screws all the way out, not just the back one, probably a me issue. It really completed the look of my rifle and the aggressive texturing on the back makes for a secure lockup on my shoulder. I run a red dot on top of my scope for the rifle this buttstock is on and there is plenty of buttstock to adjust the rifle one my shoulder for different eye box holds. I could see it getting really hot if left out in the sun or if the temperatures got super cold(not so much hot but it sticking to an unshaven face.), but a bandana or something similar wrapped around it would solve that issue. I think the largest issue is the lack of MFT making buttpads or cheekrisers.
