Mixed results from ARFCOM. Some feel it does the job and others want the real McCoy. Another concern is the delivery issues.
Personally I've never really saw the need for those High Speed stocks, probably because I'm not highspeed enough to be in units that issue SOPMOD's etc. My attitude is that, do I need the extra bulk, price, storage, and my issued M4 fits me fine.
If I need to store anything, I will put it in my camelbak or assault pack. Can't fight to well without water so my hydration pack is always on me.

What do you do if you have a stock with the upper-loop on the rear? That alone stumps me. (Of course, I only have VLTOR and very old collapsable stocks on my rifles. None of them newfangled M4 stock thingies. LOL)
I dunno how it would hold up in a pinch. I'd still hunt for a used VLTOR.

Well, I took the plunge and ordered 2 of them this past Friday. Got them today, Tuesday. So much for the delivery issue. Order from the Command Arms site, and you shouldn't have any problems.
On my old style CAR stock, I had to get the hacksaw out and remove the top sling loop. Also had to mod the sling loops that come with the saddles for the CAR stock, just take off a little bit of the nubs. Took about 15 minutes to get it installed. A little loose up front, but some epoxy would probably fix that if it bothers me too much.
Mounted the second one on my 9mm AR, and it has the new style M-4 stock. Took 5 minutes to install and fits perfectly.
I'll try to throw up a couple pics tomorrow.
IMO, it felt really good snapping the carbine up to my cheek. Got to play with a real Vltor stock at work a couple weeks back, and it feels similar. Not identical, but close enough. I'll try to do some live fire with them this coming weekend. I have an Holosight on my CAR, and it really seemed to keep my head up straighter.
CAA even threw in 2 packs of cleaning patches. Can't beat that.
I finally just got mine last week sometime. It's a $20 part, works cheek weld is great, but I'll still be getting a LMT sopmod in the future, it's really cheap looking and it is. But it'll work for the range and stuff, Maybe not if your a commando in the jungle but I'll be ok at the range...
