brickfield mfg 86 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) I have the DPH Arms skeletonized stock on my S12 (with folding mechanism), and the K-Var NATO on my VEPR12. I like the way the fixed stock feels, and shoulders, slightly more than the folder. If it was an SBR, there would be no question though... TROMIX!

Barrage 33 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I have the K-Var Warsaw on my SGL12 and the NATO on my SGL21, they both feel great, though they both did show up with some pretty bad marking that they claim "wipes off" but it's definitely permanent. That stuff doesn't bother me, so I left it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I have the Tromix. I don't have it on the gun yet, but it seems to a quality piece. The limbsaver is fit up "ok" to the stock. I may freeze it and trim the uglies off with a razor blade before I bolt it on. It's fairly light weight and very sturdy feeling. Those are 2 things that I was looking for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Freeze it and put it on a sander or grinder. It will look much better than if you try to do it with a razor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brtoney 0 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 The tromix with the limb saver seems nice because it Would be easier on my shoulder, and I could lean it without it kicking out. The Warsaw and NATO stocks just look so beautifully simple, and sturdy. Not to mention inexpensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Freeze it and put it on a sander or grinder. It will look much better than if you try to do it with a razor. It's not that far out of whack. I think Tromix probably just go busy and let QC slide a little. If I take it to the grinder I will be into the plastic in a hurry. It just has some "boogers". Considering that I know they had to shape it to fit their stock, I don't think it's bad at all. I'm just a snob when it comes to fit and finish of most things. The tromix with the limb saver seems nice because it Would be easier on my shoulder, and I could lean it without it kicking out. The Warsaw and NATO stocks just look so beautifully simple, and sturdy. Not to mention inexpensive. I'm not gonna lie, the Tromix *IS* expensive for what it is. However, I do like it and feel that it was worth what I paid. My S-12 is my "Cadillac" gun, it costs what it costs to get it the way I want it. I've got 3 .22lr guns if I want to play it cheap.

gunfun 3,931 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Right, but the point is that will leave a cleaner finish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 We don't make the poly stocks. They are made by Lage Manufacturing. Its no secret. I don't typically rip every stock out of its sealed plastic bag to inspect it. Maybe I should. Tony 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azatty 2 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 The Tromix is a nice stock. I have one on mine with the folding block. Definitely pay the money for the upgraded recoil pad, though. The regular butt leaves a "caterpillar track" on your shoulder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) I don't typically rip every stock out of its sealed plastic bag to inspect it. Maybe I should. Tony Not at all what I was trying to say, Tony. I am totally satisfied with the stock I purchased and am in fact recommending it to someone else. I *AM* a picky SOB when it comes to my toys though and will be happily tweaking away until it's exactly and precisely what I want. I don't expect your company or workers to invest 8 hours in fitting each and every butt pad the way *I* want mine and still be able to pay a reasonable price for it. So, to reiterate, I would buy the Tromix stock. Edited January 29, 2013 by Maxwelhse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brtoney 0 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 So what is the adapter I have to buy to fit the tromix stock to my s12? Do forum members get a discount anywhere? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
American Capitalist 7 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Kvar stocks are very nice. I personally have a DPH stock and am not huge about it. My vote goes for a Magpul stock even though it's not an option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 You'll need an internal stock adapter and then a folding hinge if you want to go that way. Forum members get discounts at MANY of the vendors listed in the vendor section. Just read through the links to see how you have to go about it. I have purchased from many of them and have had absolutely 0 complaints with any of them. I have only had a problem with 1 product was remedied quickly (AK rifle mag with a stuck follower, replacement was sent out the next day).. As you can see from Tony chiming in on this thread, the vendors here take their products and customers very seriously in the S12 community. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brtoney 0 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Anyone know the overall length of that Tromix Skeleton stock with Limbsaver pad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Anyone know the overall length of that Tromix Skeleton stock with Limbsaver pad? Mine measures 9 5/8" at the thickest part of the pad. That does not include any hinges or stock adapters or anything. JUST the stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jpnrm96 70 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 With Tony's response to your boogers on the butt pad, should tell you that besides a quality product you will receive outstanding support from the vendor. I would use the Tromix. Besides the cool factor you will still be wanting to send rounds down range when all ur buddies will be cryin to go home after you pass 200 rds. All because of the butt pad.

Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I agree... I punted the Tromix vs. others around in my head for a long time as well (it's a bit spendy) but then I just went for it. I know that LOTS of guys on here have LOTS of Tromix parts, seldom is there ever a complaint, and Tony is active in the shadows. That was enough to tip me over the edge. I also bought the Tromix FCG.

TxAgSaiga1979 16 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 For most of my Saigas I chose the KVAR stocks (which I think are actually made by Arsenal). I like em cause they have a handy place to store the cleaning kit, are lightweight, US-made part, and I can get em in either NATO or Warsaw LOP (I use NATO, the girl uses Warsaw for hers). They are decent quality, however I find often that the cleaning kit wont go all the way in on the warsaw LOP stocks, so I have to do a bit of dremel milling and custom fitting. Also with some work you can hook them up with hinge hardware (from either ACE, or... cant remember name of other company) and make your own side folder. I'm working on that for my 20 ga right now.

evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Well, it is no secret that I lean toward parts that, when assembled, make the weapon look as if it could have came from the factory that way. I always use either AK100 folders or KVar WARSAW length polymer stocks. Both feel like home to me and are very tough. They look like they belong on a Kalashnikov as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bcrider 68 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I have an Ace Warsaw on my S 12 and a Kvar Warsaw in my V12. Tromix also makes great stuff in my opinion as well. Can't go wrong with any if those options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My vote goes for a Magpul stock even though it's not an option. Which magpul stock? I have the CTR on one of my S762's and a MOE on my AR. basically the same stock but the CTR eliminates any annoying wiggle and play in the stock for ~$35 more 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
