| New for 2010, the introduction of the Improved
Modstock, appropriately named the “IMod”. Since 2002, the original
Modstock has become well known and respected by Military,
Law-Enforcement and sports shooters worldwide. Even though the Modstock
is considered the best on the market, Vltor believed it was time for
improvements. The improvements are subtle but necessary. Feedback from
end users will make the IMod the choice over the competition. |

When compared to the original
Modstock, the IMod series is now available to fit either the Milspec or
Commercial diameter receiver extension/buffer tube. Unfortunately, the
IMod will not fit both receiver extensions, so when ordering,
pick the correct item and part number.
Like all Vltor stocks, the IMod is available in
the three most popular colors; Black, Flat Dark Earth (tan) and Foliage
Green. As with the original Modstocks, the IMod is offered in the
conventional, “Standard” configuration and the unconventional,
“Clubfoot” configuration. Even though the Standard model is the most
well-known model amongst the shooting public, the Clubfoot version is a
hybrid model that bridges the gap between tactical and prone shooting
positions. In other words, the Clubfoot portion of the stock allows the
shooter, with his/her off hand, to support the stock and to control
the rear of the weapon, while shooting in prone or rested position.
All Milspec IMod kits are also available in “Combo
Kits”, which include all necessary components to mount to the rear of
most AR15/M16 and M4 type rifles and carbines. Click here for Link
The improvements of the IMod are as follows: Integral,
but removable non-slip buttpad (color matched to stock components)
- Rolled/angled buttpad toe with wide traction
area. This will assist in running the stock high on shoulder, making
the IMod system more user friendly when using web-gear and/or body
armor.
- Improved lock paddle, making it easier to operate
and making the contact surface non-slip when operating the lever.
- Removed most sharp edges that may cause “snag
points” to web-gear or other vital equipment.
- Improved strength throughout construction of the
stock chassis. This will provide maximum strength during “Mortaring
exercise” or unexpected impact.
