Just from torqueing the STW into the Hogue groups shrank in half what they were in the factory Tupperware stock.
Thanks, I am not sure what situations these complaints were from. Whether it was use of a heavy barrel on sandbags, or a tripod, or excessive torque while using a sling "military style". Maybe they were in extreme applications. I think a few fixed the issue by using a dremel tool to provide more clearance. Sounds like you have had great success and they wouldn't be so popular if they were quality material. Now I guess we just wait to see what information flows out as to how and when they become available. I suppose with it being a foreign/non USA item as well as a complete weapon system, there are many rules and issues to be resolved to coordinate a group buy. Not like a group barrel buy.
