clubfoot stock question

hey guys, just wondering about something here. I am trying to find a teliscopic stock that can hold a large 7 cell 4200 mah battery. my friend told me about these clubfoot stocks and they look like they may do the job for me. but im just wondering, does anyone know if they can actually hold a large 4200 7 cell? because the only pics i can find are of a 1400 - 1700 mah.

thanks

I am not sure if this will answer your question, but my VLTOR Clubfoot has room for 4 CR123 Lithium Batteries, which as you might be aware are commonly used for weapon lights.

I have the star club foot mod stock and it can NOT hold large cell batteries. It comes with a 9.6V 1700 Mah battery. Hope that helps

+1

You want to get a Crane stock, not a VLTOR (clubfoot) stock

I've had several. Just a couple of notes.

MOD/Clubfoot stock
1. You can only put 2/3A sized (i.e. "minis") or smaller cells into it. You can easily build a 9.6v "mini", with 4 on each side. No issues with fully closing your stock.
2. The last one I made was with 1500mah cells that I took from 2 x 6-cell RC car packs (they were on sale).
3. It's a pain in the ass to change batteries, so I wouldn't count on doing it in the field (i.e. worse than a frantic M4 or G36c type change out in the middle of a skirmish after lunch), but doable if you have the time. I have 2 clubfoots, and If I'm using one and it dies, I'm just going to swap on the whole other stock.

+1 on the CRANE style stock, it'll hold large (i.e. sub-C cell and smaller) batteries.
- with 7 cells, it's not bad closing your stock all the way
- with 8 cells (i.e. 2 in the "pipe"), it's a pain in the a** and I almost never seem to get it right and typically leave it fully extended or just one position in.
- the last battery I made for a CRANE stock was made from a disassembled 9.6v large battery (sale again). They were a pretty tight fit (CA CRANE stock) but they worked.
- if you get a kit, get it with the stock pipe. Some pipes have cut outs and channels for wiring, which make closing your stock less painful.
