New Gen III Thordsen Stock 1Q 2017

[SkyHawk]

That looks like a rifle buffer tube attached to the AR with the Gen III. I was hoping it had a shorter LOP, but no dice.

They have made it modular to be adaptable to many types of rifles and give various LOP. I seriously doubt they have limited themselves to rifle length only buffer tubes.

I believe there are spacers in the photo (red section) and the main block may also come in different sizes (blue section). We'll have to wait for more details...

Or even something simpler; a pinned stock, wrap, and comp (from The Gun Company's website)...all reversible once the laws are over-turned or once one moves out of state.

I wish they sold a version of their stock that came like this:

That looks slick.
Is there air between the cut off Thordsen and the buttstock?

This will be my next purchase. Like the rifle buffer feature.
Have a Gen II. Great product. No bullet button for me!

I just made this picture in photoshop. Does anyone know why Thordsen doesn't make their stock look like this? I realize this puts your hand webbing below the top of the trigger, but so does the regular thordsen

Seems to me like if they made their stocks look more like this, they'd be infinitely more popular. Almost zero effect on the ergonomics of the rifle.

To clarify, here's the original thordsen. If this works, then why wouldn't my example above?

I believe that part of their grip design was to place the web of hand as high as possible to be able to comply with that part of the law, even though they are manufacturing a "stock".

I know kind of off topic. But does anyone know if this would fit the LWRC REPR?

That was my thought too, but take a look at my followup post just above yours. Also, since it's a stock, they shouldn't even have to comply with that part of the law right?

Yeah, they are going to call that a thumb hole. Too bad because it's really cool.

There was discussion of that in the thread I pulled that picture from - I'm not sure if the grip touched the stock or not. There's also the potential problem of the thordsen part no longer being considered a stock. If it works though, it certainly looks cool.

[mntbighker]

Without question, the more I look at the gen III it's going to be my preferred featureless stock unless it weighs 5 tons. The Magpul Mossberg stock I got for my Headbutt adapter is insanely heavy. At least I feel I can have confidence the gen III will be legal. I'm nervous about almost all of the so called compliant "grips" that are appearing. And I'm not interested in anything that blocks my thumb completely.

I concur.

My guess is that it too closely resembles a pistol grip for their lawyers to consider it. The original design mimics the grip angle of a traditional wood-stocked rifle. I can already picture a lawyer superimposing a pistol grip over your mock-up in a courtroom to convince the jury that it's a pistol grip.

It's absolutely amazing how many of you are either unwilling or unable to read the original post and the snippet of the article where it CLEARLY states that the Gen III Thordson was designed to work with a rifle length buffer tube.

And it is equally amazing at how many of you are obviously schooled in the law. All of you psuedo-lawyers should join up and create a legal super-team to combat the CA DOJ.
