Help With Build

[nightwolf47]

I started a build for a 3 gun rifle, I wasn't going to do one but wife always said i need a hobby lol. Anyways I already got some parts listed below. what i would like to know is , i was planning on getting a odin works zulu 2.0 but herd there fussy with buffer and springs witch i was planning getting JP silent buffer kit. Another stock i was looking into was BAD SABERTUBE Lightweight Stock Kit, or should i keep it simple and go with Minimalist Stock. thanks in advance.

 

thunder ranch upper and lower

FZ lightweight BCG

odin works 223 wylde barrel & hand guard

hipertouch eclipse trigger

My opinion is that weight at the back of the rifle helps balance and won't slow you down like weight at the front of the rifle. Based on that, I wouldn't go with an ultralight type stock. But everything is subject to personal preference.

I've got 3 Zulu's, 1 first gen and 2 2.0. I greatly prefer the first gen, but have never had any functional issues with any of them regardless of spring or buffer combo.

I agree 100% with @DesertTortoise the last place you want to go light is the rear of the gun. I had an MFT Minimalist for a while and it was the worst stock I've ever had because of its lightness. Also stay away from any stock that has a tiny butt pad, like the Strike Industries Viper or a lot of the other minimalist stocks, because focusing all the recoil energy on a smaller surface area increases the felt recoil.

why do u like the first gen more, i plan on using the the jp silence spring , that wont interfer with the secondary spring the zulu 2.0

The 2nd gens length of pull bottoms out at 12.9 inches, which is a half inch longer than I like. I asked Odin about and they said I can buy a few parts to basically convert it back to a gen 1, I just haven't done it yet.

Having shot the gen 1 vs gen 2 side by side on the same rifle I would say the secondary spring is just a marketing gimmick.

ok so i can remove the secondary spring and use it as a normal buffer tube or use anything with the second spring

[TonytheTiger]

No, not quite. The buffer tube on the 2.0 is open ended and the secondary spring is integral to the end cap. IIRC, Odin told me I'd have to buy their standard pistol buffer tube to convert my 2.0's back to 1st gens.

Try Smoke Composites!   CF tube w/adj cheek, cant and length.  It's a LOT less problematic than zulu 2.0, especially using jp scs. @TonytheTiger has it correct.
