    The answer to the question nobody asked!



    That wire stock would be unpleasant to shoot, and like many chassis systems, the new stock ruins any capability in smooth and lightweight handling.

    When in doubt, add bulk and picatinny rails= modern gun?

    Just to think, my Doomed Sniper could have emerged Doomed to Darkness.

    A couple of months ago I happened upon an AR-15 site. Someone created a wooden stock set for that Darth Vader gun. It actually gave character and some warmth to the beast. But everyone blasted the look -- condemning it to the dungeon of non-conformance. Either I'm a dinosaur, or a large chunk of the rest of the world embraces the Prince of Darkness.

    I first saw wood furniture for AR15s back in the late '80s. Triangular handguards and no finger rest pistol grip, IIRC.

    As far as the lever gun with the mad attachments, I actually like the adjustable length of pull buttstock from a practical hunting standpoint even if it IS way ugly! As for the fore end rails, not liking so much!

    The Kudzu Kommando L-E stock doesn't seem to help much of anything, user-wise. Could fatten the manufacturer's wallet a bit.

    Really it's only half finished, it needs a bipod, red and green laser, a 3 MOA red dot, front grip, one or more flashlights, and a Bren magazine conversion.

    He’s in the USAicon…… where it’s spelled that way.

    Color is also spelled without a u here and a f@g is not a cigarette.
