  1. There is zero reason to manipulate your stock length for cqb. Marines did cqb in Iraq with 20" barreled M16s and were fucking grim reapers. It comes down to how you manipulate the gun. Not stock length. Plus you never see either top competition or tactical shooters with the stock anywhere near the castle nut. You just don't. Length of pull is important

  2. off topic, trying to make a graphic/sticker, but google images (inspiration) show characters holding it wrong. is that an issue? MANY show the butt stock going under the arm, although they're simply just posing. is it ok to have an illustration of someone posing like that? (not firing or not active). others show it going into the elbow pocket. again, just posing, not shooting. i don't wanna sell something that has an incorrect depiction.

  3. My only experience is with the A2 stock, thus as the position gets higher the distance from eyeball to sight increases. This makes the sight aperture appear bigger or smaller relative to the front sight. Yet, interestingly enough these variable relationships do not affect aiming as US Service Rifle Competition participants have proven.

  4. Great video. Thank you. I felt like I was reaching a bit when I had my B5 stock all the way out (6), and it just didn't feel right. I also like your advice on bringing it up to the cheek, and then sliding back. Great video. Thanks!

  5. I feel like your video is the only one that addresses comfort and practicality with an ar platform. All these length of pull videos use the elbow method but for me that takes my head too far from my sights and feels like I'm reaching. Thanks for making me feel not so crazy for keeping a shorter stock distance than length of pull

  6. Man these videos are people who lack common sense, it’s like saying “ hey chew your food or else you’ll choke ,see you next week friends the our tactical take “ 🙂
    If your looking to shoot and use your money usefully , go find a performance shooter
    And fail sooner at a local match. You don’t ask a doctor on how to flip a eggs 🍳

  7. I have two questions. One, when slide the buttstock from my cheek to my shoulder pocket I have to turn my head towards the rifle to line it up with the rear sight, any tips for that? Two, does the butt stock go closer to the chest?
