It has useless intermediate stock positions where only "open" and "closed" are required. The Troy product costs $500 CAD. The MVB ARC stock is by far the nicest of the 3 in terms of fit and finish, layout and overall quality. The actuator button is easily accessed on the Right side of the aluminum butt-plate. The stock locks both open and closed, although the friction-closed nature of the CCS may be preferable for fast deployment. The ARC Stock costs slightly more than the Troy PDW Stock, but it allows you to use ANY standard Bolt Carrier. This makes the MVB the only option for Piston-driven guns, period. Having tried all 3 systems, my vote goes firmly with the MVB ARC. You definitely get what you pay for in terms of design features and quality, and the flexibility of use in a piston gun is key for me. YMMV, but you will not go wrong with the MVB ARC Stock. It is the Cadillac of PDW stocks and absolutely oozes quality. And no, I am n ot a shill for CTCS. Just offering some first-hand experience for those in the market.
