Beginning of April, I purchased one of the US-made tube-style stocks from D&D. Got it, and it turned out to be the rear section of a Choate Mini-14 folder stock attached to an L-bracket.
I went ahead and attached it to my IMI post-ban semi, and shouldered it. I immediately discovered that I could no longer use my iron sights, and my Armson OEG was difficult to use. Unlike the factory stock, the D&D stock runs straight off the back of the receiver. There is no downward cant or cheek hollow, so that the D&D stock is actually a 0.60" HIGHER at the comb than a factory stock. Given this, you would actually have to be deformed in order to use iron sights.
I returned the stock, and got a phone message from D&D stating that they would refund my money. After speaking with him, he advised me that I didn't really experience any problems and that he would return my payment minus 10% restock. Up to this time, I have had good dealings with D&D, but this definitely sours the milk. No company should market a flawed product, deny any real and obvious problems, then charge a customer for returning the flawed product. Definitely a NO-GO product and company, at this point.
