I really love both stocks for their uniqueness and their abilities. I thought to share what I learned after installation and handling these two awesome stocks in case anyone out there is on the fence between the two. I’ll start with the ACR in the Pro / Con format.
Bushmaster ACR Stock
Pros. Cons
Fully Adjustable. 1/2 Pound heavier than the B&T
Great Cheek Weld. Must use AR15 height irons (stock irons are too low)
Stays in the folded position
Has a Storage compartment
Brugge & Tommet Stock
Pros. Cons
1/2 pound lighter. Fixed, non adjustable
Works with the stock irons. No cheek weld, more like a jaw weld
Classic MP5 pattern. Not secured when folded unless you pay $40 for the magnetic latch
Low profile
Installation
The ACR stock uses the Dan Haga Design adaptor. Made of aluminum and Anodized I believe. The stock is attached to the adapter by a large roll pin and the connection between the receiver and adapter is solid. The stock’s lock and engagement is solid as well. The adapter’s transition from the Scorpion to the ACR stock looks great in my opinion.
The B&T stock uses the A3 Tactical adaptor. Made of Polymer and closely matches the texture and color of the receiver. The stock is attached to the adapter by a provided pin that was too large in outer diameter to fit. I had to use a drill to open up the stock pivot's bore by a few thousands of an inch. Connection between the receiver and the adapter is pretty tight. I used a Delrin faced hammer to tap it into position. The stock’s lock and engagement is rock solid with a satisfying loud click every time. The adapter’s transition from the Scorpion the the B&T stock looks great in my opinion.
Both stocks look great, but they’re pricey and can be difficult to find at times. I highly recommend either one. I’ll be adding a couple more pictures as soon as I get a chance.
