FX DRS pro and Saber Tactical stock

[wimpanzee]

I ordered an FX DRS PRO, and cheaped out and ordered the saber tactical stock with it.
This has to be the worst stock for this gun ever:

1. the safety will bind up unless you adjust the set screw. It prevents it from going on SAFE. It shipped to me this way, locked on fire mode. WOW.
2. The default spot for the trigger blade makes it hit the trigger guard. Cannot move the trigger.
3. The rear stock screw collides with the trigger block, so even after you dig out a 1mm hex and adjust the trigger shoe, you cannot move the trigger. If the rear screw is tightened at all, it hits the trigger block and prevents it from moving.

I can't believe they shipped it to me in this condition. This was not a "free install" of the stock, this was slapping some bolts on and throwing it in a box. I really expected something functional for $2000, but what I got was just absolutely sad.

I'm going to be sending this saber tactical stock back, and asking for something that actually fits the gun I ordered with it.

Wow! This was an idea I had as well at one time.

I got the synthetic stock and damn near ordered the same thing the other day. Stopped myself and went ahead and ordered the new tactical. We got some snow in Southeast Missouri so who knows when ill see it. If it flurries here the milk and eggs are gone lol.

Nice, I ordered this 2 days before the tactical came out....but i think i would still have gone for the pro - was looking for a .22 slug shooter, and it looks like the tacticals are more built for pellets. Tacticals came out while waiting for fedex to figure out the snow here...

Super sad too, because the action itself, with the yokuzuna, is spitting those 33gr H&N slugs at 950fps at a whisper, i was super impressed with that, just need a stock so I can actually shoot it!

I guess I am going to try the delta force stock - i like it better anyway, with the wrap around fore grip - it will look and behave much more like my panthera, i think.

I'm a little confused , why would you buy an expensive gun like the pro and want to switch the stock out for the Saber Tactical stock ? or am I missing something ?

You can buy the action without a chassis. The MDT chassis is valued at $1770 over the action cost.

I agree 100% on the delta force stock. It looks better but more importantly i like that fore grip also. My new tactical is sitting at Scott City at ups so Monday it is. I got a ton of pellets sitting around to feed it so im all set.
