Then that's great if it works. Not my bag though. I have a Fab Defense M4 stock...it's alright but still never use the riser except on occasion on a 308. Usually, if I need or want a riser for a gas gun, I'll make one out of rat pads or an old piece of sleeping pad and 100mph tape. Bolt guns are a different thing though.I don't do stickers. This was part of a conversion to eliminate the evil "pistol brace" she had on, what was, her pistol. The stock along with a new barrel provided my wife with a rifle she now uses for beginner competition matches she got involved with and was a lot cheaper than buying a new rifle, which I'm happy to do once she needs an upgrade. And it only weighs a little over 12 ounces so it's not heavy at all.
