FNAR Review - What's In The Box - Interchangeable Inserts

The gun comes with six interchangeable inserts, three for the comb (cheek weld area) and three for the recoil pads. I would guess that FN has done their research because the ones installed on the gun actually felt good as is. Other web sites that I have seen who reviewed the rifle have also tended to keep the gun in the "out of the box" condition.   But since I paid for it, I had to check them all out anyway. That was when I started considering to change the name of this blog because for a short while I didn't think I was a "real man" enough to get the screws out. In the end, I prevailed.

The gun comes with the mid height (the number 2 was on the bottom) comb and the shortest recoil pad installed. Also note that the recoil pad had a plastic adapter that fits between the stock and recoil pad insert (which helps to account for the long screw length). I tried all the inserts out and in varying combinations.   For now, I will stick with the mid comb height and short recoil pad. I still have to understand what the deal is with the six interchangeable stock shims and that may change my mind.  Also, I need to consider how I will mount my scope.
