Occam Defense Solutions has introduced a new Picatinny rail compatible stock called HEX. The choice of the model name is associated with the hexagonal lightening cuts on the stock and the overall shape of the company’s logo. Although primarily made for AK pattern rifles replicating the length of the Magpul MOE AK stock, the Occam Defense HEX stock will, of course, work with any other weapon that has a 1913 rail as a stock attachment interface.

There are several reasons why you may need to cover the metal stock of your rifle. One of them is not to have bare metal rubbing against your cheek when shooting the gun, especially in long shooting sessions. For me, the primary reason is that metals are materials with high thermal conductivity. If you think you may find yourself in a situation where you’ll have to use a metal stock in an extremely cold or hot environment, then it’s a good idea to cover the metal with some sort of insulating material because a cheek weld on a metal stock in these extreme temperatures is not the best experience.
