Mission First Tactical BATTLELINK Minimalist Stock - MIL-SPEC - Scorched Dark Earth

This stock is far too tight. It is so bad I can barely get it on the buffer tube (Strike Industries) to the first notch. Then it is so tight that it is impossible to adjust and very hard to get it back off. Hoped to get a light stock to go with a lightweight build. This isn't it.

I've got 5 of these stocks on various builds. While reading the reviews I saw a review about it being too tight. First off as stupid as it sounds, check your buffer tube that it is correct for the stock. i.e. MilSpec or Commercial.

These stocks do fit tight, it's a reason why I love them so much, zero, I mean zero rattle in mine.

TIP until it wears in, put a little lube on the receiver tube to ease it sliding in and out. (Man that sounded better in my head)
With 10 mins of sliding it back and fourth the polymer should have enough wear to lighten the sliding motion significally while still remaining very tight.

True coyote brown. Not that desert sand of BCM or Magpul.
It seats in the shoulder really well--as good as the CTR on my other build.
Tight? SURE. A good fit. None of the rattle I get with a Magpul on a BCM tube. It is on an ALG true milspec tube. BUT, how many times do you open and close this? C'mon!! If you change it all the time, you need to spend more time shooting. LOL.
The jury is still out on the QD location. And, it doesn't lock, so I see a potential problem with a single point sling. Time will tell.
(I haven't figured out the hole in the top of the stock, nor the reason for the bevel at the front top.)

Bought this one in scorched dark earth, as I also currently have one in black. Great buttstock and light too...oh yeah, FWIW MFT's scorched dark earth is an almost perfect color match to Magpul's FDE. Might even be a perfect match. Depends how your eyes see colors.

I really like this stock! It's very light. Yes, this fits snug on a mil-spec tube. In my opinion, you want this over the other side of the coin. This can wear in, you can lube it, etc. You can't fix too loose. Also the picture of the stock is darker than it truly is. This is a FDE stock and not close to brown at all. There is also a quick detach socket in the front of the stock, forward of the lock latch, facing downward. The only negative I could possibly see with this stock is that the bottom of the butt end could unwittingly catch on things because it is "open" instead of a closed triangle.

This is my favorite stock of all time. Military tough, silent and stiff, and lighter than most other stocks. PLUS PLUS PLUS... I don't need a rifle rack because I can just hang my rifle by the hook-shaped buttstock in my closet between the clothes hanging next to it on either side, and my rifle is reasonably hidden and ready to grab if there is an emergency that requires the application of firepower. And, it looks very "tacticool".
