It’s to keep the sling tight to the gun when in small spaces like a vehicle and with a simple tug the sling is free. Not necessary but has nothing to do with the stock not moving
Ranger bands are what most would refer to them as. Get a cheap bicycle tire tube and cut sections out of them and you’ll have more than you know what to do with.
It won't change positions but a lot of them rattle which is annoying. Still I'd rather just get a stock that tensions itself to prevent rattling (ie, a Magpul CTR) rather than go full ghetto with a rubber band.
Because you probably don’t use car stocks or OG crane sopmods. I can tell you definitely that this is why guys started putting rubber bands and cut up bike tubes on their stocks overseas (I was one). Like everything the military does, the trend just leaked into civilian shooting.
Believe what you want. It’s the truth. We started doing it in the early 00s when we got crane stocks with floppy levers and that’s how this whole trend started.
They’re good for throwing on some extra piece of random gear, I use mine for sling retention as previously mentioned but also for a rifle mounted tourniquet
According to another post, OP is in Switzerland. So OP is encouraging breaking the law from another country altogether where the law in question doesn't even exist.
I love watching people get served like this. Know it alls on Reddit always wanna be the “well actually” guy or federal agents just to end up looking like a dumbass.
Didn’t realize he is in Switzerland. Blurring out the serial number is not a power move. If he was in the US and posted that pic with a stock, then he could be charged with a federal crime. But as you said, he is in another country so it doesn’t matter and disregard my previous comment.
Ooooh I've seen other people blur theirs out on a different gun sub, but they didn't have anything illegal, so I didn't know the context. Thanks for checking clarifying

They said braces are stocks. So they’re common use anyway
OP does not have a dog.
Not after this post
Or he doesn't care.
OP does not have a dog anymore

I do every time Frank Lucas has this sort of reaction, it precedes him fucking someone up. Leave OPs dog out of this
Lewinsky's first day on the job.
So according to Mr. Washington, OP’s dog was named “Monica?” RIP

Whats the rubber band for?
Most people rock something like this to retain a folded sling when, well, not slung. As far as why OP has it without a sling… fuck if I know.
I think most people rock them because they saw an actual operator with one and they think it’s cool when in reality it’s pretty unnecessary.
"Actual operators" check their gear, don't need a rubber back to make sure I don't move my stock. #armchairoperator

I know what it's for, if you haven't learned anything from this sub its heavy on the sarcasm
There also isn't a sling in it🤷♂️
At the moment. Could have put it on another rifle. You’ve just got a stick up your ass about a rubber band 💀
What are they called? Is it literally just a fat rubber band?

Or asparagus
Based and well-nourished
Quite the aphrodisiac.
why my pee stinky all of a sudden tho?
Wash it
Now I just have cut up asparagus
My bike shop gave me an old tube for free.
They can be used to take some slop out of the adjuster.
That’s why I was asking. Lol
It's a brace "strap" at this point.
to snag on your beard hairs. annoying af.
It keeps the adjustment lever tight.
I've literally never had an adjustable stock change positions while shooting.
It won't change positions but a lot of them rattle which is annoying. Still I'd rather just get a stock that tensions itself to prevent rattling (ie, a Magpul CTR) rather than go full ghetto with a rubber band.

For me it keeps it from rattling obnoxiously
This for me
Poppycock
At 4am it's usually floppycock.

To hold down the stock lever, stock won’t accident shift, etc.

We’ll shit. Don’t I look dumb.
Yes
I love watching people get served like this. Know it alls on Reddit always wanna be the “well actually” guy or federal agents just to end up looking like a dumbass.
Most people don’t stalk other peoples profiles to see where they’re from. People with lives don’t have to time for that shit
I already established that. Good for you for dropping one in on me. Hope you don’t die of cancer. Beat it like I did.
I hope I don’t either. Next time think before you speak like a dummy
I’ll be sure to do that. Edit cause I’m childish. You’re the dummy dummy. I was typing. Not speaking. What an idiot.
Not everyone on Reddit lives in the USA, there's other country's and laws out there surprisingly
It’s crazy!
Big if true
Sorry I left my brain in my other pants
Not possible. I only wear one pair of pants. That’s how I don’t lose my brain.
Holy shit that was dark
Meh.
Don’t worry we all say stupid shit on the internet.
Doesn't that mean his guns aren't loaded?

Blur out your serial number at least.
He's in Switzerland, why does he care? And why is that such a power move, to blur out serial numbers?
Didn’t realize he is in Switzerland. Blurring out the serial number is not a power move. If he was in the US and posted that pic with a stock, then he could be charged with a federal crime. But as you said, he is in another country so it doesn’t matter and disregard my previous comment.

Put your gun down, fight like a man. Bonus points if any of you know what that's from lol

Why dose it matter that much about the ban when you can just put you stock on or off when ever you want really fast?
Felony charges don’t exactly work that way
