It's a good thing that I'm a certified gunsmith (from the Johnny V Gunsmithing Institute--Campuses Opening Near You!!!) since the instructions and the box clearly state you should either be a qualified gunsmith or military armorer to install one of Vltor's stocks. Actually, I had the old stock off and the new one on (plus switching the buffer tube to a mil-spec tube) in <10 minutes and that includes time spent (1) digging through my toolbox for some anti-seize compound and (2) searching the carpet for the takedown pin detent spring. So far, the difference in cheekweld is amazing--with the OEM M4 stock I wasn't real comfortable but with the EMod, the cheekpiece actually feels beefy enough to be comfortable and fits me oh-so-right. I don't have any range results, since my upper just got to Sabre today, but I can't help but think it'll be more pleasant to shoot with. I do have to get used to the lever arrangement to adjust length of pull since it seems a little "looser" than the OEM lever, but that shouldn't be a big deal and a bit of practice time should fix me right up.
