RokStok

[mxgsfmdpx]

Y’all getting your reps in this summer? I know it can be a lull for a lot of folks when it’s hot out, kids are out of school, work gets busy, etc.

Take the time to get out before the sun comes up and shoot. Your day will be way better if you do.

Hanging around on RokSlide is an expensive habit. I ordered a wooden RokStok lite for my RSS .223 last night. My credit card company tried to save me by flagging it as a fraudulent transaction, but I was able to overcome the initial denial and any second thoughts and resubmit the order. So, that means that sometime in the future I will have a RSS in 6.5 CM and a mini-RSS in .223, both stainless steel, with wooden RokStoks, 6x SWFA scopes, PR Precision Stainless Steel bottom metal, and suppressors to be named later.

Don’t forget the new scopes when they come out, at least you have some time to pay down the CC

That’s a next year problem. I don’t see those happening anytime soon. Maybe we’ll see them in next year’s s2h 0-600

At this time, the RokScope’s features don’t appear to be what I want or need. That is not to say that I think it will be bad. I just don’t think it is for me. The SWFA’s are already purchased and waiting for these rifles.

I do need to pick the right suppressor, but that is a six months from now problem. I want to use the OG for a few months before I make up my mind about it. I need to carry it a lot more, shoot with it a lot more, and then make up my mind whether it is the right fit for my 6.5 CM.

PS - I am lucky enough to report that the CC is already paid down. I just need to refill the discretionary spending budget. I need to plan my upland bird trip to Montana, then I foresee a spending freeze until Christmas.

Just got my Rokstok. Is it normal for the QD cup to be just a straight hole into the stock? I can see foam just seems off.

It’s backwards!

Received my lop spacer kit, if anyone knows of a demo video or instructions for installing the rivet nuts or could post a photo of them installed would be a big help before I start freestyle f'ing my stock haha
Thanks

Sorry was in a meeting when I replied earlier...

All you need is longer screws with the same thread pitch as the factory (non-spaced) butt stock plastic/pad, and then a SLIGHT modification.

On standard Rokstoks with no spacers they use the normal Stockys Phillips size 10 screws with coarse threads, these self tap into the foam/carbon which is why I mentioned before DO NOT overtighten, they strip easily.

On spacers added Rokstoks, they use a finer thread M4 Allen head bolt, with different lengths depending on how many spacers are installed.

So if you want to add spacers onto a "non-spacer" version of the Rokstok, you cannot use the M4 Allen bolts from Stockys and UM as they won't thread into the butt stock.

Instead of sending it back, just pull out one of your phillips screws and take it to the hardware store, and buy two that are long enough to get through your new spacers. There is no need to worry about diameter change as the Phillips Size 10 fits fine through the spacers access notches.

The slight modification...

The only "issue" is that on the "spacer installed" Rokstoks that first 1/4" spacer acts a "line-up tool" as there are small "nipples" on the spacers that you will either need to file down, or notch into either the factory butt pad or the stock end. Each spacer has these nipples to help keep the stack aligned and held together while screwing in. They are TINY, and I filed mine off, set the first one flat/lined it up on the butt stock and screwed the thing all together. No issues.

Difference in screw types.

Phillips screws work in the spacers, just need to be longer.

Standard Rokstok base with no spacers.

Factory Spacers installed version, also showing line-up "nipples" for the spacer stack.

1/2" worth of spacers installed onto a regular "non-spacer" rokstok as per this method. This photo was just mocked up, when I installed it I dabbed a bit of epoxy on the first spacer to hold in place for lining up properly, and to help hold it together should a screw strip out.

1/2" worth of spacers installed from UM/Stockys as you'll receive if ordered.

I was asked to link this post via PM, as I guess some folks are receiving LOP spacer kits for rokstoks this week and want to DIY over sending in to UM.

Feel free to PM with any questions.

These are also “earlier” Rokstoks and I understand a couple iterations exist now (I’ve heard of things like concrete screws being used in some stocks).

Feel free to post photos and questions here.

If you click on the orange link “mxgsfmdpx said” in the post I quoted it will take you to that post with photos.

No it ain't .
That's the way a rifle should be.

Nice to see a few folks around that are wired correctly.

Normal, maybe… but I don’t think it’s the right way to do it and have it be reliable (further explained below) Not the end of the world, and not terrible to fix, but falls in the corner cutting category to me.

My last two stocks were the same as yours, one of which was quite proud because for the threads to engage with carbon it had to be turned out a little, and the other just pushed into the stock/foam hole when I tried to hook up a sling… so I spent a couple hours having to drill the hole with a 1/2” forstner bit to clean up the edges enough to get the threads of QD cup to bite to back it out, then mixed up 2 part epoxy that works with dissimilar materials, scooped/poured it in the hole to fill it up a good bit and slathered some on the threads, luckily had the tool from Grovtec that fits the inside of the cup and the Allen head to keep epoxy from splooging up into the QD through the Allen hole, then threaded the QD cups back in so they’re still engaged in the carbon, but mostly the QD is bedded/epoxied in and also sealed off so water doesn’t get in there in the foam.

The front qd on the stock that had the rear cup just push into the foam area, was better/tighter than the rear but pretty easy to spin/minimal thread engagement so I spun it out and epoxied it in too just because.

The other stock had a nice and solid QD up front, couldn’t spin it with an Allen wrench even so would appear no corners cut there

Everything about this is RIGHT!!!

Does anyone know if the limbsaver is compatible on the Rokstok?

Mostly busting your balls. The Unknown Suppressor guys are tinkering w all kinds of cool stuff. They’ll likely have a can to fit your desires.

 

[benconfused]

What are the mods you have to make? I read something about drilling new holes, I assume you drill the pad and not the stock? I put my Tikka Limbsaver on my RS last night, the fit is bad but the holes lined up fine.

Do yo have pics of limbsaver installed and some of the fitment variances?

I don't have one and I'm not going to be home until Sunday. I'll try to remember to take one then.

Limbsaver 10809 is I think as close as it gets to matching. There's a rib on the back i dremeled off to get it flush. I think I had to drill a new hole or two as well. These are the best pics I have as it's no longer installed. Just saving for if I ever use it on my magnum
