Is there any real purpose to these? I know they were popular in America during the 90s and early 2000s and in New Zealand until 2019, but are there any jurisdictions or countries where they remain popular due to either legal or simply cultural reasons?
>>65080743When you’re in the bush for a long time the thumbhole is a good way to relieve sexual energies
>>65080743Nah, the cuck rituals of thumb hole stocks and arm braces are US-exclusive idiocies. Everybody else has their own dumb ideas regarding how to make military rifles unattractive to the kind of criminals who'd buy their rifle at the gun store.
>>65080743>Is there any real purpose to these?I think they look cool. For reasons unknown to me they're on a ton of precision rifles>>65080782>US-exclusive idiociesWhy did they Russians, Germans, and Romanians design thumbhole stocks on their military and police rifles?>SVD>WA2K>PSLEtc
>>65080814Other countries do things because they are stupid and evil. The USA does things because we are the #1 exporter of potassium (unless I disagree with those things in which case it was trannies or the blacks, or perhaps even black trannies)
>>65080743They're good for benchrest target rifles because you get maximal contact with gun. It's the same idea as those really elaborate grips you see on match target pistols. You're basically min-maxing the ergonomics of the gun to be superior off the bench, but less flexible in other positions. What you posted is purely cosmetic.
>>65080743Some people like how proper thumbhole stocks feel, and they can lend a certain amount of extra consistency for precision, so there's that, but these style of compliance stocks at best feel mostly like a normal pistolgrip and stock, and at worst feel awful.>>65080782Thumbhole stocks exist on sporters elsewhere in the world.Also on the P90 and F2000.>>65080828Well explained.
>>65080743no clue. the Sako S20 is the only gun I've ever seen with a thumbhole stock that wasn't trying to get around a gay ass AWB/importing restriction
>>65080824>we
>>65080743theyre kino on precision rifles, big difference from some mak90 tier awb slop
>>65080743I just think there neat!At least when done right
>>65080773Kill yourself
These bad boys from AI
>>65085366Man, you'd need a really fat cock to relieve your urges with that stock.
>>65086661do you not?
>>65086674Not THAT fat. :(
