Just wanted some input from you all. Last month picked up a GSG-5 from Guns and Leather and just now getting around to customizing it for that tacticool look. I have alot of ideas but first wanted some input on a stock. Which do you all prefer the rectractable stock or folding?

I like the looks of a slider, but i think the fixed stock is alot more rigid. All of the slider stocks just feel loose and have a "slop" to them.

I've never seen a ATI factory slider stock last for more than a week before breaking. There is a crease at the joint where the actual buttpad meets the arms of the stock, thus when you grab the pad and pull back on the stock ... snapperoo.

I'd do the "great stuff" mod to the factory stock. Thats what I plan to do with mine. I have the SD version, and I added a Primary Arms M3 clone multi reticle and a cantilever mount, and so far its wicked.

Ok, guess I am dumb, are we talking about spraying great stuff insulation into the factory stock?

Yeah, it sounds stupid I know but apparently it gives the stock a much more solid feel to it, and not the cheap plastic toy feel it has. Some people also add weight to it, to make it feel more realistic. I don't care about adding weight, but I do like the idea of making it feel more solid. I read about it over on ar15.

The process is pretty simple, you just lube up some ear plugs and plug the holes on the sling mount, and seal up the butt plate or remove it and plug the holes and then maybe even spray Pam on the stock in case you get some splatter. A long straw is all that is needed to get to the bottom of the cavity, and just fill it up to a few inches before the top to give it room to expand. Let it cure for a couple days and there you go. I was thinking about using the low expanding formula to err on the side of caution.
