Sorry gigag04..... I didn't see this post until just now. Unfortunately, no, I can't offer any insight on the Troy stock.gigag04 wrote:Have any insight of the Sage vs the Troy?The Annoyed Man wrote:My son put a Sage EBR stock on his M1A.

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.

Re: Priority: 2nd AR15 or AR10
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.Dave2 wrote:Forgive my ignorance, but what's the difference?Skydivesnake wrote:AR pattern in 308, but I'd recommend the DPMS LR308 over the Armalite AR-10. The LR platform seems more flexible - you can get 20rnd PMAGs that fit the DPMS and it's easier to source aftermarket and OE replacement parts for the DPMS than for the AR.
I used to have an Armalite AR-10, but sold it and bought an LR308, which I am much happier with.
