Stryker posted this on their facebook page. Is there a thread on it? I didn't see it posted here.

It looks awesome. I want to try it on my 17S.

Yeah I saw that yesterday too, looks pretty slick to me. I've never handled an ACR but I've seen a couple videos where people have commented that the car stock felt a lot more solid than the scar stock.

 

[Copperjacket]

I'd certainly be interesting in one...

 

[Dizzy82]

I've handled an ACR and found it to be quite nice. Although I do agree with MAC that the safety switch digs into my thumb and that is one of the faults I find with the gun.

Also saw that Kinetic Development Group has one in the works as well. Interesting to see which on lands first.

I like this idea though I do not have a problem, in general, with the scar stock. The release and locking functions are better on the ACR STOCK. It will be interesting to see how it interfaces with the left side of the rifle and the controls.
Too bad the SCAR is set up like an AR on the lower. Maybe some one can fix it some day...Just dreaming...

I hope we can buy one and have it in hand before this summer.

The SOBA 1.0 has been quietly moving into production since 2013 and will be available in both a stand alone adapter (using your ACR stock), or as a complete plug-n-play pre-assembled unit where you swap out the FN OEM stock assembly and simply install the complete SOBA 1.0 in place.

Offered in both FDE hardcoat anodized finish as well as black: MIL-A-8625F Type III Class 2 with NA seal.

Final price has yet to be determined but both options will be a cost effective for the SCAR owner.

Thank you.

Other thread with news on that seems to be gone.

As before. RomeoTangoBravo: Bushmaster ACR and EOTech EXPS2 take a spill...

This particular rifle and optic combo was simply dropped; due to carelessness, from a height of about five feet onto a covered concrete floor.

Beyond the early latch issues on the earlier SCARs, I have yet to see a catastrophic failure of this nature reported for the SCAR stock.

SOF Combat Assault Rifle Heavy Performance Specification

"...3.2.3.14 Rough handling. When dropped from a minimum height of 1.5 meters (5 feet) as described in TOP 3-2-045 and ITOP 4-2-602, the SCAR H shall be capable of withstanding the impact without causing any structural or functional damage to the weapon and capable of withstanding the shock without firing a primed empty cartridge (T). The SCAR H shall be tested with and without a sound suppressor attached. The SCAR H shall withstand vibration and rough-handling requirements as defined by MIL-STD-810F, Method 514.5 (T)..."

Don't know what drop testing has been done with the ACR, but I am not convinced by the seemingly widespread opinion that just because it "feels solid" that the ACR stock is necessarily going to be better than the SCAR's stock. Especially when a large number of AR stocks including the SOPMOD have been damaged or broken by a number of 3 foot drops.

You can break anything if you bang on it hard enough. If it's of concern but you like the look and feel of the Magpul stocks you could easily use the ACR's fixed stock with this adapter. It should certainly withstand more abuse than a folding/telescoping stock.

As Fourth Horseman already stated, we can certainly destroy anything, including a barrel if we apply enough force.

A box filled with broken parts means someone set out to break parts and succeeded.

I was wondering where that thread went as well. I was starting to think I was just imagining it.

Any many chance you make these with a non-folding ACR stock for the lonely California FN fans?!!

The SOBA 1.0 has been quietly moving into production since 2013 and will be available in both a stand alone adapter (using your ACR stock), or as a complete plug-n-play pre-assembled unit where you swap out the FN OEM stock assembly and simply install the complete SOBA 1.0 in place.

I'm more interested in a Mk20 style stock than an ACR. When I had my ACR I didn't think the stock was anything to write home about or anyway better than the scars.

 

[SONYtec]

I like this.

Stock is more inline with the barrel. Seems like you'll have less muzzle rise because of that. :?

 

[tasty_chicken]

I just like having more choices. It's better for the entire community. The more options the better you can configure the scar to your liking.

Yup, even legendary stocks break..

 

[Raider]

That looks awesome! I would be in for one for sure.

 

[Big Muddy]

If it eliminates the hook that digs into my cheek that is a plus.

I have been waiting for someone to act on this idea and come to market with a quality adapter. The unimaginative ar15 buffer tube adapter that seems to be the first and sometimes only aftermarket stock option just doesn't cut it. Anxiously awaiting this product. I'll buy 2!
