EreadM 0 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I was wonder if anyone could recommend which stock seems to be more suitable,NATO or WARSAW. I know the measurements of each, but it just seems to me that the WARSAW stock would be a little short. If anyone has had experience with both please feel free to fill me in on your preferences. I would just like a little input before I make a decision. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would just like a little input before I make a decision. The Warsaw length stock is a more wieldy stock for CQB; the NATO length stock is better for careful distance shooting. I see CQB as a more likely scenario for me. I admit the Warsaw stock is slightly awkward, but I'm acclimating myself to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I tend to lean towards Warsaw, though sometimes I'll add a buttpad for extra length if I feel I need it. Not really needed for a 223 though, but my Saiga 12 uses a short stock with extended pad. Seems to feel about right. If you're doing something like an ACE folding mechanism, that adds an extra inch or so. Where I really notice the difference is when doing shoulder transitions: Maintaining a firing grip with your primary hand and switching the butt to the opposite shoulder. The NATO length is a bit long for me here. Corbin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CTfam 2 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 WHen I first put on my Warsaw stock I hated it... I shot with it several times and it has grown on me. NOT in length, I mean I'm used to it. I am 6'4 and it works for me. CQB rifle for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
7.62x51 0 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I cut off 2" from the standard stock using a metal cutting wheel. I drilled a lot of very small holes around the edge (to get good adhesion) and made a flat carbon fiber end cap for it. The receiver still clears my face makes the gun a lot less nose-heavy.
