There is gear for every level of paintball player, from the once a month player, to the avid weekender. Lets not forget all of the gear available for the different types of paintball. Woodsball and speedball players have never had so many markers, barrels, masks, tanks, clothing, and even paintball gun stocks to choose from.
We should be thankful that paintball companies care to deliver this wide range of stocks. However, if so many options to choose from, picking the right stock for you can be hard.
To help you on your quest for finding the right stock, here are 3 important questions you should ask yourself before you start looking. Its important you know the answers to these questions so you don’t fall victim to impulse buying, which may lead you to get gear you’ll never ever use.
1. Do you plan on using a remote? A lot of woods players use coiled remotes to distribute some of the weight off of their marker. If you plan on using a remote then finding a stock will be much easier, as there is a wider range of gas-through stocks available then non-gas-through.
2. What kind of paintball gun do you use? Depending on the brand of paintball marker you use, the number of aftermarket stocks could be higher. Tippmann markers tend to have the widest range of stocks available compared to any other marker. While you can find stocks for markers such as the Angel, it is fairly difficult to find one for most brands of speedball style markers.
3. What style of stock do you want? There’s foldable, collapsible, and t-stock style stocks out there. With all of those to choose from it would help if you could narrow it down via your own preference. So pick what type of stock you need and start looking. If you have a marker that has a lot of stocks available, then determining what style you want is a great way to weed through what’s available.
Determine the answers to the above 3 questions and you will greatly enhance your chances of finding the right stock for you!
