    To confirm that the inventors of the changes shouldn't be allowed to play with wooden blocks, much less make laws?

    The whole thing is bloody daft. All it does it make it harder to handle the rifle safely, which seems a bit at odds with general thinking on firearm safety....

    The NZ Police admitted that it had nothing to do with safety, the sole reason for this was because they lost the "touch our butts" campaign and they didn't like being told that they cant make their own laws.
    That's why in the Arms Amendment they made sure that they gave themselves the power to do just that.

    It's all about dissuading dilettantes.

    If it's just a tool, why care what it looks like?

    Modded my Spear stock tonight, cut a section out so I could refit an Ace RFX cheek foam.

    Having a think about fattening up the grip next.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    Yeah, it's a fairly light single stage by CMC, I have big hands and quite like the forward position of the trigger.

    Mine arrived today after ordering it yesterday, which was quick. Feels good and I think is better than the Speer mags one.

    Just fitted the Spear from Digit. It's.... OK. I'm have to keep telling myself that it's not the Spear Stock's fault that I won't be allowed to use a PRS.

    Was a little dissapointed in the looks department - the pics taken by Spear must have been done by the same guy who does the McDonalds photo's on the menu board. It does feel very light and plasticy - and there are very noticable swirly scratches on both sides of the middle arm section that looks like they didn't do a very good job polishing the plastic smooth. Those marks on the stock are real, as opposed to the oily filgerprint marks on the reciever.

    Want to do the same as ishoot and meat up the grip with some molded rubber - I think that'll help the feel of it a lot.

    Still, for 2/3rds of the price of the Servo, I'll give it a go!

    Dissapointed in the looks department? Are you one of those mirror commandos or are you going to actually go out and shoot the damn thing!?

    I only paid $125 for my Spear through Spiker, so for that $ I'm happy.
