I wonder if the next version will come with a "sniper" stock instead of what looks like a 4-position LE / military collapsable stock from an M-4.
I mean, really? How in the f*** are you supposed to get consistent cheek-to-stock weld on that? Compare that with, well, ANY other "sniper" stock in the real world and you immediately notice some differences. Generally, the main stock body is rigid to reduce shifting. On adjustable models, there will be (usually, anyway) an adjustable buttplate that you can lock into position and a adjustable cheek-piece that also locks into position. And they tend to be pretty dang rigid once adjusted.
Compare that with the stock from a M-4. They wobble like crazy. And that wobble translates to accuracy errors downrange. I don't know what the deal is with airsoft manufacturers spackling shitty collapsable stocks onto everything, but I hope the trend dies out soon.
Of course, I'm not in their target demographic though, so my opinion is pretty valueless in the long run.
