8 month old thread but I’m looking to upgrade my stock to something with a wider palm swell than the magpul. I ll just move the magpul to a 223 trainer for the time being but could anyone chime in on the question quoted above?
What do you get with the Grayboe as aposed to the B&C style 6, here goes.
1) A true A5 pattern stock with a butt hook and flat section behind the hook that tracks straight in a rear bag during recoil if that's what you prefer, I do.
2) Pillers installed with an easy option for bedding as opposed to a V-Block that may or may not be straight as some have reported them being out of wack. I have an older style 2 that is dead nuts straight but still a consideration.
3) A homogenous design that is user friendly to multiple modifications such as adjustable cheek piece, flush cups without cutting into the internal aluminum structure of the B&C.
4) If bought the way I did a high quality A5 pattern bottom metal for the same price as the B&C stock alone.
The B&C stock does have an adjustable cheek piece already and pretty similar ergos but I liked the Grayboe design better and it had more of the features I wanted and feel that it is higher quality than the B&C.
I still own two different B&C stocks and like them both but I would choose the Grayboe again over them, I also have a Manners T4 and the Grayboe seems more solidly constructed but the finish isn't as refined as the Manners.
I'm sure I left some things out but that was my take on it after looking at both.
