Mission First Tactical Minimalist Stock

[GOST]

Interested in getting one of these or maybe holding off for the new MOE SL or BCM Gunfighter. Probably will end up getting at least 2 of these. Anyone using this MFT stock, what do you think of it?

I picked one up for my 9mm range toy a few months ago. I like it! Fit was extremely snug at first (like two men and a small boy needed to adjust it snug), but it loosened up by itself to the point where it is just right - no rattle at all, but one handed adjustability. I'd buy another.

I've been eyeballing this stock too.
I just can't dig the looks of the new BCM or MOE SL... I know that's not what it's about but I want it to look good and work.

What do you mean that's not what it's about?

I assume that what he means is that form is supposed to follow function, not the typical AR-owner "wow, that looks really neato-cool. I wonder what nonsense I can post online to make it sound like it's useful instead of just pretty."

FWIW, I don't have a problem with guys and their barbies, I just get annoyed at the guys trying to pretend their barbies are GI Joes.

^^ Pretty much. I need my AR to be functional but I want it to look good doing so.

Not to annoy anyone but I do like a nice looking rifle. I had my new rifle Cerakoted in Kryptek and I think it looks pretty good. Does it function well, can't really say yet I only got to put about 100 rounds through it this weekend. I had no malfunctions though with both PMC and American Eagle 62 grain. Now I'm no GI Joe just a guy who lives on a farm who likes to shoot a lot, I don't hunt that much anymore and have never pointed a gun at anyone. Am I the typical AR owner, I neither know or care. Do I care if some likes every part of their rifle NiB coated, Cerakoted or hydro-dipped; nope that's their business and some of those rifles in my opinion look great. Did any of the previous add any function to their rifle, probably not much. But my opinion doesn't mean that much and I really like a good looking rifle made from quality parts.

Anyone annoyed yet?

Outraged.

Anyone annoyed yet?

Nope, sorry! Haha.
As I said, I want mine to look good too (that's why I want that darn stencil from you!).

Matching colors, patterns, cerakote, hydrodip, seems like the wave of the future. Not much more to do with accessories it seems like lately, so people want to customize the rifle's colors and make it "pretty" nothing wrong with that.

Rob always slaps me down to think about what I am actually doing with my rifles. UWone77 recently did for my NTD build as well. I like and understand Rob's view "what do i need" and I look at that really hard. It is the sole reason my HD rifle is pretty much stock except for the RA Raptor charging handle. It will get a Inforce WML added to it as well but that will be it, and really the charging handle went on it because my wife one it in the last give away and she didnt want it on her rifle.

Don't get me wrong after I take care of my "NEEDS" I splurge a little on my "WANTS". On a rifle that I will not have to make my life or the lives of my family depend on that rifle will have more wants than needs. But then again the needs are just the basics.

God gives me what I need, I go get what I want. Don't tell my Wife.

Darnit I've annoyed myself.

There is a fine line between the guy that says "I need mutitard on all my guns because/:ninja" all the while living on a farm and the guy that says "I live on a farm and half the reason I'm I to ARs is because they look neato-keen". I don't really understand either one, but I can at lest respect the honesty of the latter. It's the former that will drive you upa a wall, because if they're not being honest with themselves, how can they possibly be honest with you? And when they ask for advice from a place of dishonesty, you're advice will automatically be "wrong" because he's masking emotion with fake logic.

I don't care what anyone does with their money, but don't waste other people's time asking advice from a dishonest position.
