Fab defense recoil reducing stock

[faylix]

Recently picked this up on DVOR as kind of joke.

I'm actually surprised how well it works. I'm sure the fact the stock moves can't be amazing for accuracy but at 100 yards mine hasn't really been affected, and my shoulder certainly feels better after a long day at the range. Adds a little give when you load the bipod as well.



It has three settings, currently I'm on medium but I'll probably experiment with the other ones. I added some suede to the cheek piece, which is adjustable. I haven't really seen anything else like it on the market which begs the question of why? I've def seen some recoil reducing features on newer rifles but this is the first shock absorber style one I've seen for the AR.

In response to your question of why arent there others on the market I would hazard a guess that because there is so little to no demand perhaps?

I mean, its not like a 5.56 has any recoil to start with right?

Not to be a bitch, but with the damage on my shoulders and collarbone even 556 starts to hurt after a while.

same stock fits large frame AR's.

I see plenty of enhanced "butt pads" for sale, lots of muzzle devices advertise recoil reduction - clearly there is a market for recoil reducing items.

I tried to buy one for my Mossberg 12 gauge but was denied as they can not ship to north north california.

I will say the stock looks pretty cool and that's the most important thing


If you had to put it into numbers, how reduced would you say felt recoil is with it?

ABC bro. (always be cool)

Usually I can do one or two range trips a week and only feel like i was in a fight.

I went three times last week and still feeling fine.

I've been running it full time, long rifle, short rifle, prone, standing, kneeling, move and shoot drills, so far I'm a fan.

I'd put it at a healthy 20% on medium. I haven't bothered using the light or heavy settings yet.

As soon as I get around to dragging my 6.5 cm mars-H out I'll try it on there on the hard setting. They give you inserts for milspec and commercial buffer tubes as well.

all in all, worth the DVOR price of $70 including shipping.

Sounds pretty slick. The check riser setup along with the price has my eye. Might be nice on a large frame.

Do you notice a reduction in reticle movement off Point of Aim when the shot breaks?

I was always curious about those, but thought they were discontinued.

Hard to say, I'm still new at the whole long (medium? Short?) range precision thing and only recently have gotten better at body position behind the rifle.

I would say it is easier to remain on target and see my hits, but the timing is difficult to distinguish cause.

I've just been changing a lot of things at once.

I can send you some alcanterra for your stock if you like.

does it have a setting for bump-stock mode?

This is definitely something you will notice with trigger time. If you switch stocks and see if the non-reduction stock reduces your engagement time on a target.

Interesting stuff either way.

It does look pretty cool.

Does the cheekpiece slide back so you can run the charging handle or do you have to extend the stock for that or what?

The side closest to the charging handle lifts up - but I think its more of a function of cheek peace adjustment than to help run the charging handle.

Ran my 14.5 Noveske DDF build on a short rifle course today.

I don't care what anyone says, this stock kicks ass when you're moving and shooting quickly. It recoils like a PCC, My times are down, and my shoulder doesn't hurt despite running through a lot of ammo today.

My buddy tried to run with his Benelli m4. It was funny.
