Just curious, I'm looking at the IMOD stocks and you can get them both ways.

Is a clubfoot stock a dumb idea on a carbine with no bipod?

It depends... does the clubfoot shaped section have a storage compartment?

I guess if you really like the look...? I have an ACS stock on my carbine, which is sort of clubfoot shaped, and I kinda went that way kicking and screaming. I'm not a fan of the profile, but I needed storage.
