Any good? Are the moving parts holding up? Still accurate or did that suffer? Problems? Lighter or heavier?

How much and where?

Anyone paint one yet?
 
I'll caution folks again, these precision molded stocks are not a drop in for the chinese action, in some cases extensive modification to the receiver bearing surface is mandatory. Those who have installed should see of a piece of paper will slide under the heel of the receiver. I've installed a half dozen in the past month or so and it's been a pain in the @ss each time to achieve a true correct fit.
Otherwise, for a plastic stock, with thumbwheel adjusters for cheek and butt pad, it's not a bad stock and is affordable. I would not however call it a precision rifle stock. It has adjustable ergonomics but has no features that assist in accurizing the rifle like the JAE or Sage EBR.

Thomas is using a polite way of saying:

It is an affordable tacticool stock but offers nothing more than a plain chinese plastic stock or old USGI fiberglass stock except modern looks and feel.
 
^^^ and I'm okay with that. The stock has made shooting my M305 much more enjoyable (ergonomics being that much better). That has also led to a small increase in precision for me. Nothing to write home about but noticeable for me. I'd recommend it.
