The EBR stock works as advertised, but it had drawbacks too. One is that it takes a wonderful stock with no sharp edges and turns it into beast which pinches, scratches, pokes, and cuts you at every opportunity. The other flaw is that it makes an already heavy rifle noticeably heavier.

I think there are probably better choices of M1A/M14 stocks for general purpose use.
Have any insight of the Sage vs the Troy?
Sorry gigag04..... I didn't see this post until just now. Unfortunately, no, I can't offer any insight on the Troy stock.

I used to have an Armalite AR-10, but sold it and bought an LR308, which I am much happier with.
Forgive my ignorance, but what's the difference?
I recommend the AR10 also. The primary difference (there may be others) is that the Armalite requires a proprietary magazine. The DPMS lower accepts magazines from other manufacturers than their own, including the PMAGs, which are superior and affordable magazines.
