Just noticed something funny about the SU16 AR stocks....

[greg11]

Well, I was looking at some SU16's online and have decided that I didn't like the AR stocks. The stock adapter puts the stock at a downward angle, relative to the receiver. To me, this makes the rifle look quite odd. I like the buffer tube to be parallel to the barrel, like on an AR.

Then I noticed that on the AR stock SU16's that I liked, there was a different bracket holding the stock than the ones I didn't like. I took some pictures below.

Ugly version, which produces a downward slant.... (ugly IMO.)

Good version, which seems to produce a straighter look.

I wonder if the difference is just the bracket, or the whole grip assembly...

Damn I want my SU16...

Both look like the same angled design to me.

Look more closely at the brackets. The bigger bracket puts the tube a little higher and (I think) a little straighter.

They look the same to me bro.

Yah one screw location is different between the 2 pictures but both have a slant

Lines...

Maybe the angle is still there, but the one I like has a bracket that puts the stock higher for sure...

Reply to my post on KTOG

The diffrent brackets raise or lower the butt stock and empty buffer tube. when you buy the kit it comes with both. Say you have a low profile hunting scope you would be better of installing the lower or downward slanting peice. If you have an acog you would want to emulate an ar so you would want the high peice.

the second one looks higher to me but still has a little bit of an angle

How would you use the SU16 iron sight with the stock being straight in line with the barrel?
