| Okay so I just dropped into my local shop and had a TON of stuff done to my KWA M4, including getting it wiredt to the back. I now have a choice. I can get
A. a VERY BIG 10.8v 4600 (probably bigger I don't remember exactly...) MaH with a FULL, SOLIDstock on my M4, or
B. get a very nice Crane Stock with foam padding on the cheek rest, and get a 9.6v battery (That's all that'll fit into the Crane Stock, there aren't any 10.6 Crane Stock batteries) I also am worried that the Crane Stock battery will provide a hassle to get in and out. | |

| I would get the full stock. I'm not a huge fan of the whole crane stock phenomena, and in my opinion there is something to be said for having a long lasting battery in your gun. | |

| Eh, crane stock. We are only talking about a M4. had it been a M16 I would have said full. | |

| I used a M4 with a crane for awhile, I would get nunchucks rather then crane batteries, they are smaller, so you don't have the hassle of tugging to get it out, and there's less wires and more room when you don't have the third stick. I just carried extras, I could swap out batteries pretty fast.
If it was a M16, I would say full stock just because adjustable stocks of any sort on m16s look out of place. I know there's a Canadian made rifle like that, and I don't like it. | |

| I said full stock. I like the look of full stocks, and even more than that, it should be function over fashion, so you want the bigger battery. I've seen adjustable stocks with all sorts of problems, and they're really not all that useful from what I can see. A full stock is just more practical imo. | |
