They like you better than me, there are some in stock, but us common folk have to mail in stocks (and call). I just mailed 2 in, make sure you don’t take my two before my stocks get there tomorrow.
Yeah I’ve heard they want you to send them in and swap them over to the inset threads and long Allen bolts. This isn’t needed. I’ve already modified two stocks myself using longer screws with the standard version. I just need the damn spacers.

That has me thinking… Never mind @Unknown Munitions I’ll 3D print them myself.

Thanks @Bluumoon for the epiphany.

I can send you a 3D file and save you some time if you want. Last set I had made up by SendCutSend out of HDPE and ABS was $38 or so shipped, get some longer screws, and reinforcing the carbon screw holes with epoxy.
I’ve come up with my own 4 screw solution due to a little impatience with the cart before the horse nature of the LOP spacers and the easy to strip carbon. You can’t loosen them to remove/add a few, but they could be modified for that. They’re also smooth/lacking the interlocking groove so definitely not as good as ideal as what has been advertised/delivered on some stocks.

I’ve had the same sentiment regarding this advertised feature (during pre-order, back in the hollering ‘90 days’ from the roof top days) when it is also recognized that ‘longer than usual’ LOP works best for most.

I’m of the long armed long necked variety, so used to having to do this kind of stuff to most stocks, especially for the price point, it’s not that big of deal… but it’s still just the gap between what’s advertised and what’s been available this year that chaffs a little.

LOP spacers can’t be the hard part of making a stock or that hard to have made. Maybe installing/bedding female thread inserts is more complicated than I know. I get not keeping a fat pile in inventory though too.

Thanks a bunch please do!

Yep I’ve already modified two “regular” stocks using longer screws and epoxy. Works fine.

Yep easy to strip by over tightening. Same as the Stockys VG stocks.

Yep I posted a how to in this thread somewhere I believe for folks wanting to modify their own. Starting from a “regular” stock requires filing down the notch that sits against the regular butt pad.

I ordered mine without because I didn’t want them taking any longer than they already were to ship.

I’m also long armed. The stocks are perfectly shoot able as is for me, but about 3/4” over factory is “just right”.

It just adds another step in manufacturing that deviates from “standard” which is why I ordered all of mine without.
