Hi, as i am sure anyone who looked at xfire's main page lately has noticed this
http://www.x-fire.org/e.index.htm (note it is the first iteam on site).

The vsr-10 modular stock. From the looks of it its made out of some polymer
and encompasses an ar style butt plate and pistol grip. If you look closely at the diagram it even appears that they have hardware for a folding mechanism for the butt plate. (these are just speculations i made based on the pictures provided)

Makes me wish I still had my vsr-10 or about 1.5 grand because now pdi has exhausted the last vsr-10 part if im not mistaken. Maybe now they will build a steel outer barrel and a custom trigger guard for the ca m24 like I always wanted them too.

Looks pretty cool! PDI are always releasing new VSR-10 externals and it's nice to finally see a stock made by them.

I have to admit, i think that looks disgusting

 

[Wolfgeorge]

Same here.. I really don't like it!

I think PDI could have come up with a better looking stock than that.

 

[MiloXC3]

Yeah, definitely. In comparison to the very sexy aftermarket barrels and other bits they have made, this isn't really original.
I wouldn't buy it, but it's cool how you can use different pistol grips and butt pieces with it.

I know the thread was started a while ago but this post is apropriate seeing how the stock is now for sale the price for pre order is almost 3x that of the fortress m40/m700 stocks and comes without handgrip or ar buttplate for mear 930 something $ us.

Not bad looking considering you have many different options, but did you see the price?!?! $933 !!!!!! So close to a grand for a stock?!

That is just nuts!

 

[silentball]

There will be buyers for that stock that has the PDI name attached to it regardless how rediculous the pricing is.

 

[MiloXC3]

PDI fan boys who swim in money will get it, no one else! Or perhaps maybe some eccentric airsoft collectors.

 

[manbehindtherifle]

For the price tag I think I'd rather buy a Mac a5 stock and pay to have it fited and spend the extra 300-400 on a scope or something.

 

[chachaseeds]

$933????? Are PDI out of their minds???? For that price I could get two realswords and a scope :O

 

[LOLER_COASTER]

I'd rather buy the soon to be released ARES MSR for that piece. Heck, it's supposed to be cheaper!

 

[silentball]

Ares said approx $550 for the MSR and that rifle is beautiful.

I agree. I could get a damn McMillan A4 put on my real Model 700 with a bedding job for like $700.

 

[LOLER_COASTER]

Not to mention, it's basically an ASR. I could buy the WELL version, Magpul it, upgrade it, outfit it, and paint it for less than that!!!

 

[MiloXC3]

PDI are pretty well-known for making their products expensive, but this is just way too far! I hope that no one buys it so they bring the price down. I quite like the look of it and can imagine it kitted out with a big scope and suppressor and some other PDI external goodies (e.g. fluted barrel) but would never pay that much for it.

 

[silentball]

If no one buys it then the pricing will go up even more. In any marketplace, low demand for the product normally drives pricing up. As for PDI, if it sells well then the pricing will remain at $933.

What drives pricing down is competition.

 

[solarisjock]

or it could be marketing. Release it for $900, then for Christmas say "special retailer pricing" for $600, and people buy it cause they think it is a good deal for 30% off

 

[silentball]

Yeah they do this kind of marketing to the females. Regular pricing on a pair of shoes $150 and sell it at a sale price $75
