North Eastern Arms Compact Carbine Stock
A few companies have been showcasing their firearms with this compact carbine stock.
Troy has their M7A1.
LWRC has their PDW
Well this stock is actually made by a Canadian company called North Eastern Arms.
My FFL got one in and I got to play around with it in his garage. I added it to my KRISS Arms M4 stock adapter and put it on his Vector SBR.
The CSS stock looks awesome on the Vector. The only downside is that the two guide rods are too narrow. So the stock cannot collapse all the way. The picture below shows the stock collapsed as far as it can go. If the rods were ground down or channels were cut into the polymer upper, then the stock would be able to close.
At the moment, there are only a few people importing this stock into the US. Troy Industries will be selling it soon.
Here is a video by SMGLee posted last January testing the CSS on a SBR.

This is not a PDW. This is a compact assault rifle. PDW is an ersatz term for modernised submachineguns. Could just as well take a slightly shorter barrelled Minimi and market that as a "PDW".
NEA have been around for many years. They have garnered a decent reputation for reliability and consistency in the process, so existing issues concerning supply and demand related to them may be the result of trans-national security and administrative issues rather than anything else. I am perfectly willing to concede that I might be incorrect in saying this, or lagging in the updates to the latest cross-border issues, so please correct me and post the latest factual information regarding this issue if you have it.
The end result can only be of benefit to all of us on TFB.
