Robar break down .50 cal stock failures...

[MAD DOG]

I was recently informed by a Navy rangemaster doing some work with the Coastguard that the Robar breakdown .50 cal stocks were having problems. He witness these problems firsthand.
Evidently, when they are taken down and reassembled repeatedly, they loosen up. They develop enough play that the extra movement during firing causes the barrel to slap the bedding under the forearm. This subsequently causes the bedding to shatter and fly out under recoil. Naturally, accuracy begins to suffer rather quickly.
They have returned a number of rifles to Robar to be repaired for this reason.

Robar is replacing my folding stock on a QR2 due to its failure. The QR2 is a fine rifle, but the folding stock on mine was not right, and after opening it once or twice, it became difficult to open, and in doing so I cracked the stock. Robar has exhibited very good customer care, though, in dealing with me, so I continue to recommend their work.
