RokStok

[benconfused]

The muzzle blast is horrible on most 16” barrels without a can. Before I suppressed my AR, it was a literal headache to shoot.

Even for a bolt gun?

Muzzle blast from short barreled bolt guns (unsuppressed) is something I hate. The physical punch of recoil bothers me much less than muzzle blast.

Even for a bolt gun?

Yes. We have an old Persian cavalry carbine in 8mm Mauser and it’s just miserable to shoot. Great brush gun though. Getting the blast even four inches further away makes a huge difference to me.

What about 223 though, that one can't be that bad in 16' bolt can it?

Yes. It can be.

Well at least my wife will know I’m not trying to sneak in a new rifle, it says right on the box “Not a Firearm”. Got to sneak away from work early now!

Had one come thru Fedex here in Madison for some reason on its way to Seattle. I almost wrote on the box some snarky message from a fellow Rokslider but thought against it.

Here’s what was in the box. A July drop no rail in sponge #5. #3 barrel inlet is perfect for a factory Tikka Lite contour (mine is an IBI mountain lite contour which is very similar). Weighs 31.2 oz which is actually lighter then the factory stock with a vertical grip, a beaver tail forend and a Limbsaver pad.

The first of the two Rokstoks I ordered on 5/19 arrived today. To their credit, UM emailed me to confirm specs on 8/20, but I didn’t see it and there was a delay until they called me to check. Still arrived in about 120 days so I’m content.

Didn’t get any updates or shipping info from UM after I confirmed the specs a few weeks ago. The stock just arrived without warning, which I think is the norm. I don’t have fedex alerts set up but I know that would have helped.

Stock looks great to me. Just plain OD Green sponge to keep it simple. It will be a 16.5” 243, which I should get back from the smith next week.

Overall fit and finish is very good. Only defect I see is the mating of the spacers to the stock is not flush and a small amount of epoxy is visible. That said, it won’t affect function or cause any issues and I doubt I could do any better. I’m perfectly happy with the stock.

The recessed trinity rail looks great and is so clean for all the function it offers. Not sure how much I’ll use it but nice to have options.

Hopefully my second Rokstok will arrive soon, I’m surprised they didn’t ship together but I’m sure UM has their reasons.

As a follow up to this, today they shipped out the second stock. I got the email with the finalized order and tracking info for both stocks. I think having 2 stocks on the same order that shipped separately explains the lack of email or tracking info. I’m betting if I’d just ordered one I would have gotten tracking info the day it shipped.

Stoked to get the second one and put them both to use!

Does anyone know if the hatch bipod slide on pic version works on the integrated rail of the Rokstock. They advise on the website to use the ADM version for integrated rails but that’s an $85 up charge.

I'd want the adm clamp for quickly detaching if needed be in the field. Their standard depress button and slide off is a bit comber some for quick operations. It also has to slide on/off, whereas the adm just pops openn and drops. Qd clamp all day would be my choice.

You don't necessarily have to use that particular adm clamp either, you could use any clamp, arca or Pic, that utilizes the common arms17 mounting interface.

Second Rokstok arrived today and looks even better than the first. Just waiting on the 243 to arrive next week that will go in it.

In the mean time, I set up my 223 in the first rokstok I received and got out shooting with it today. This barrel is getting cut to 16” over the winter but I’ll make it work for this season. Hopefully take an antelope with it next month if I get the chance!

Stock from the July drop got delivered yesterday. #4 sponge and @id_jon inspired srs rail added.

I think I’m still going to send it back to Stockys to inlet for ctr and try out the new mdt core bottom metal so I can use AI mags.

You can Dremel your way into a ctr inlet, but it takes a looong time

Let us know how that goes if you don’t mind.

Curious how it goes. I’m done with factory tikka mags.

Got my second stock in. Looks like they confused my cerakote change and did sponge #7 on the second stock instead of #6 (orange one). But I really like the #7 grey too, I was 50/50 on which one to change.

Now back to wrapping that salmon rod.

I like that #7... did you include any special instructions with it? It looks to have more exposed carbon than the stock picture shows. I assume this a factory barrel with a #3 channel? Sorry if you've already spelled this out somewhere else and I missed it.

No special instruction on that one. It turned out great. Factory tikka T3x lite barrel in a sendero channel.

Excellent. Thanks!

Does anyone have any extra LOP spacers for sale before I buy a new kit from UM?
