First impression is that this stock is very well made; light but sturdy. It fits very tightly onto my particular mil spec buffer tube (tighter than my CTR stock), almost too tightly, but this will not be a problem as it will loosen up with use. I chose this stock mainly for its design as it's not what you usually see on an AK; that plus its minimalistic design sets it apart from the usual suspects, additionally it is about a half of an inch or so shorter in length than the CTR stock, which is a plus for me as I prefer a smaller stock. Magpul Qd sling snaps into place and holds the rifle securely, what more could I ask for? Not 922(r) compliant if that matters to you.
