Ace Socom Carbine Stock

Does anybody know where these are available and are they any good?

Dont know if you can get them there. My friend has one on one of his AR's. They are brute strong, but dont have much travel. I prefer magpuls CTR or VLTOR's stuff. I put the ace sidefolder on one of my AK's, and am impressed with it.

I have one on my M305 that's in a MFS-14 stock. I love it! Good cheek weld, plenty adjustable and very comfortable. Not sure where you can get one these days. I'd try Wolverine and see what they can do for you.

are they any good?

That depends. They look great, but they are inevitably somewhat loose, and getting a good fit on the RET / Receiver interface is tricky (no castle nut, it's a pinch clamp instead).

Also, if you use with an upper other than .223, you may strip the weak adjustment mechanism. From ACE's website: "The Ace Socom Stock is designed and intended for calibers up to and including 7.62x39. Use on weapons of higher calibers such as, but not limited to: 12 Gauge Shotgun, .450 Bushmaster, 458 Socom, .499LWRC, .50 Beowulf, .50 BMG may cause damage to your stock that will not be covered by warranty."

This guy's review matches my experiences.

Blurry pic from my ACE SOCOM RET, note the stripped notches.

My ACE socom on my MFS-14 is far from loose and is the one that comes from McMillan. I've never had come or had any troubles with it. Maybe I got lucky.
