Framm rifle stock production begins
BCB International has launched production of the Framm modular rifle stock, the company announced on 12 September.
Framm is an adjustable and foldable stock that allows the user to comfortably discharge their firearm in all firing positions, including while wearing a ballistic helmet with the visor fully lowered. The user can switch from a classic straight stock alignment to a lowered setting of their choosing; eliminating the risk of their helmet visor or gas respirator mask interfering with the shouldering, aiming and firing of their weapon.
According to the company, production has been launched for the H&K G36, B&T 40x46 and HK-UMP variants of the stock. Production of variants for a number of different weapons is planned to begin shortly.
