Why do fixed stocks get no love? I hate the rattle of the collapsible

FIRST POST BEST POST

>>33145066
Because they are objectively less functional and less utilitarian than a collapsible stock

>>33145079
This. /v/ is where it's at. We talk more about guns than /k/ ever does nowadays. All these fuckheads care about is traps, do you know how many guns are in videogames? More than there are in the whole world. Honestly /k/ should be deleted and /v/ should be renamed /vk/
But honestly/k/ should have been deleted a long fucking time ago for being the most racist board

>>33145105
This is also true
Third post third best post
>>33145089
SECOND POST BEST POST

>>33145105
Durability during mortaring is the only benefit I can think of. Bent buffer tube is bad news,

>>33145113
This
/k/ died in 2012 as far as I am concerned.
Both are autistic as hell, but at least /v/ isn't neo-pol with unsolicited racism every other post.
Not to mention people on /v/ ACTUALLY MIGHT OWN GUNS

>objectively less functional and less utilitarian
funtional: designed to be practical and useful, rather than attractive

Utilitarian: designed to be useful or practical rather than attractive.


So a collapsible stock is good for mortaring a stuck round or ramming it into someones face over a fixed stock?

>>33145149
>mortaring stuck rounds
See crap advice like this is why /k/ is dead and all the decent (most knowledgeable) went to OP chan

>>33145066
Honestly I leave my collapsible m4 stock 1 spot in from fully extended and never move it. It is about the same length as my a1 stock and is familiar that way. Even when moving around indoors I instinctively rock the gun and lay the stock on my shoulder anyway.

About the only time it is collapsed is in a vehicle.

>>33145179
Right? Thats what I was thinking.

The only time its collapsed is in a trunk

>>33145066
>You never really collapse it once you find the setting you like, right?
depends

some people have different preferences for wearing armor, no armor, wearing cold weather clothing, etc.

>>33145066

I love my A2 stock and wouldn't trade it for anything.

>>33145066

MOE fixed stocks are fucking awesome coworker has one on his work AR, love the LOP it has. Next modern AR I build is getting one.

Which is why you are "Hunter 3-1 Actual"

1 and 2 left your dumbass behind.

>>33145066
Uhh, I collapse it almost all the way with armor on.
>rattle
Don't buy "MOE" shit, get the CTR, STR, etc. They have a little clamp that makes them objectively better than even the rattly ass M4 stock.

>>33145524
>rattly ass M4 stock
I feel like people that care about this are the same people putting kns pins on a semi auto

Because when people think fixed AR stocks they think either lolA2fuddrifle or lolassaultweaponban,

>>33145550
Just screams poor build quality to me. This is a military rifle, not a kel tec.

Then again, I'm a good old wood guy.

put a layer or two of ducttape inside a collapsable stock and it will never rattle again. if you get the layering right it wont be a pain in the ass to adjust either.

>>33145792
it will never collapse again

>>33145902
it will if you do it right. its possible to get a balance were it doesnt wobble but you can still adjust it. might need to layer in a thinner tape like scotch or electrical under the duct.

My collapsible doesn't rattle. Can adjust to different shooters. Can adjust to different clothing/gear. Can be stored collapsed.

Fixed stocks are fine too.

Main reason collapsible stocks are the norm is because we all want to be army rangers, we all want to live a life of danger.

No, they just couldn't keep up with the post rate, so the quieter backwater suits them better

>>33145066
I had an M16A4 in basic and I always thought it was awkward to shoot the full stock with armor. As I grow older tho I've started to really enjoy the look of full-sized rifles like the A2 and A4.

>>33145149
Surprisingly if you quality parts on your AR's they tend to be fine after being mortared a bit. Maybe stop buying PSA anon.

>>33145066
i like mine, lack of rattling and the fixed stock look on a carbine buffer tube is bretty gud

>>33148003
That looks like it weighs more than my ex gf

My B5 BRAVO doesn't rattle, what do you mean niga

Fixed stock on an sbr maybe?

>>33145105
This. I have one position for just me and a second position for my plate carrier.

Always hated the A2 with the fucking IOTV.

Both are great, individually, but put together it's a fucking goat fuck.

>>33145066
>I hate the rattle of the collapsible stocks.

then get one with a friction stock, faggotron

>>33145066
I have that stock and wifey loves it.

I can put a cleaning kit in my A2's butthole though.
