Has anyone shot one? I'm not as worried about the felt recoil (cause I'm e-tough like that), but more worried about the cheek weld. It seems a bit off to me. I've thought about wrapping the "wire" a with something but I'm not sure that will even help.

I like the look and the price is 1/3 of the Ace Skeleton stock/foldy-thing combo.

This is what I'm thinking about.......
(got any of these Pete?)
EDIT: I've never shot an AK with one of these either.

Nope. But I think Copes does.
The S12 in general does not kick. It is very fast on target for follow ups.

Concentrate folks, I'm asking about the cheek weld not the recoil:flipoff2:

(I do recall reading your Saiga thread Gil and the recoil issues you had with that stock, so I'm ignorantly aware)

I have one on my Romy, the cheek wield is good, the stock is a little lower than the wood ones (therefore the rifle is higher) so it can still function with the stock folded. The metal stock does get hot in the summer at the range, Im eventually going to wrap mine with paracord or spray on some plasti dip.

probably about the same as an issue M21. 1000rds in 4 days. I still walk with a limp ;)

With the padding on the tube this is perfect for my misshappen head.

Just from the looks I would think you would need the chipmunk cheeks of john mccain to have a good sight picture on the stock you linked.
