G&P Marine Stock

[dave38x]

Now then chaps and chapesses,

I'm thinking about slapping a G&P Marine stock on my AR. Anyone used them before and can recommend it either way?



First off I like the looks - its not something you see on many guns - and secondly I like the fact that it gives me more to play with than just a stock tube (which is what my current element ACS stock allows) when it comes to battery/mosfet options (currently running a DIY low-pro mosfet and a 7.4 1450mah lipo all crammed into the one tube).

Is it worth the $80 that (not) zero one charge?

Re: G&P Marine Stock

I had a G&P sr15 urx that had one of these on. I soon got fed up of having to unscrew the 4 nuts and bolts that hold the battery compartments in every time I needed to change the battery and went with a prs stock instead.
They are pretty sturdy though and have a fair bit of room inside so it's up to you whether you would find the bolts annoying or not really.

Would you be able to measure the length of it? I'm thinking about rigging some shock cord or throw levers to hold it together, I'm not a fan of fiddling with four bolts to change battery either... But I do want the option to use a chimera at some point :'( (or just big life batteries)

Re: G&P Marine Stock

Sorry I sold it mate so can't measure it for you but I used a large G&P battery in it and there was still some space that would house a mosfet.
The battery I used:
GP848B
9.6v 3300mAh Battery For Marine Battery Stock (Shorty)

Re: G&P Marine Stock

When I had mine I found it to be as previously mentioned a pain to switch batteries, and for the size and length of the stock, actually fairly lacking in space. The bar that forms a triangle on the bottom goes right through the battery compartment, meaning that it is both shorter and a more awkward shape than you would expect. IIRC, I could only fit batteries that were as wide as the small rectangular Lipos in there.
