Stock suggestions?
« on: December 25, 2010, 06:15:32 AM »
I want a new stock for my NEF Handi .223. What do yall think of the ATI AR style stock? I dont see any pics of them in the Handi pic thread. Im leaning toward the Handi grip or the ATI. The cinnamon laminate thumbhole would be nice but costs twice as much.

This stock has been known to collapse under recoil during firing. If you have a scope, it does a rite nice job of trying to scoop out your eye ball!!  :o

Personally I wouldn't own one, but if I did, this is about the most recoil (223 Rem) I would subject it too... JMHO

I put an ATI on my Handi .445.....it got to live there all of a week.  I thought it was kids toy quality, increased muzzle jump and recoil, and wiggled.  Sold it.  The .445 now resides on the standard older style synthetic.  My .223 came with the new style checkered synthetic stock and I like it very much, especially on that rifle.

Merry Christmas,

Pete

I had an ATI set. The forearm is OK but the buttstock sucks. I sold it.
Get the Handi Grip set. ;)

 I have 2 of the laminated thumbholes. I absolutely love them. Mine are the Boyds stocks that come on some of the H&R's. I do like the looks of the Handi grip may try them soon. Have heard a lot of good things about them.

26-t, I've got this great idea.  Why don't I give you at least half your money back....we'll get together, dig a hole, pour gas over the ATI and sit and chat around the fire.
