Rastoff, thanks for the stock info. I haven't ever shot an AR so that info is helpful. I'm sure I'll be playing around with different settings on the stock and find what's good for me. I did get the rifle back yesterday, a little over 3 weeks after they got it, and it looks like it has a new barrel. I think the paperwork with it said "repair/replace barrel" if I remember correctly, and I can tell they took off the flash hider due to some minor wear from the tools. The barrel looks pristine and now I need to get some ammo and get out and shoot it.

I did put the pad on the stock and it was very easy to put on and grips a little better. I need to put on my MIAD grip as the stock one feels too thin in my grip. I need to find a case too, and some ammo. Lots of stuff to buy still! lol
