    In another forum I mentioned my likes and/or dislikes with the Kriss Vector CBR.
    I got another chance to go to the range.
    I wanted to sight in my red dot on my Vector.
    I noticed flexing while firing.
    I pulled on the bolt charging handle.
    The stock easily bow as I pulled back.
    I think this will be a breaking problem after long duration firing.
    The way the stock is made with that drop off.
    If/when it breaks. It will come back into your face and/or eye.

    After reading your post, I got mine out of the safe. Yes, it does flex. I doubt seriously it's going to break during normal use though. If it did, with two pistol grips, and low recoil, I don't anticipate any injuries. Just not really an issue. :twocents:

    Better to flex than to suddenly break.

    That's what polymer does 1000x better than metal alloys. Flex without breaking.

    I think you'll be OK.

    Just be sure you never watch any slow-mo video of any polymer pistols being fired. Their frames flex every time the trigger is pulled on a live round...(hopefully)

    If you're that worried, wait until the AR stock adaptor comes out for it and put on an AR stock...or do that for the pistol variant and put the brace on it

    If Kriss seen the need to come out with a "AR" stock. Then they must have seen the problem. They just want the consumer to pay for it.

    I did just receive a reply from Kriss. They also mention I could buy the AR stock.
    I replied that I think they should exchange the stock.
    It is a matter of safety.
    If it should give-way. it would end up in my face or eye.
