[pure crown]

Do you find you can get comfortable cheek and shoulder contact with the Forcetube? (If that's what you use?)

[royal wagon]

the only thing that should cause stuff going to the side is a really bad alignment or the offset issues they had the other week

i use the classic magtube though i do have the forcetube parts as well

[wild ruin]

Here are some examples of what a user has done. They've bought an insane amount of different parts to make their own design that does everything they want

[royal wagon]

cheek weld is the minimum or im out, trivial with a magtube

[pure crown]

It's an aiming bug I think it's fine at first but when I move forward it sticks and points

Thanks Jon! I've seen those in the Protube discord, and even some crazier builds

[wild ruin]

Yup. The modular design allows for so much freedom and creativity

[pure crown]

Decision made, will order now! Thanks everyone 🙂

[wild ruin]

Enjoy

[pure crown]

Sorry one last question, is the only Forcetube available right now the 5 joule option?

I think I had the option to upgrade to 10 joules a while back

[wild ruin]

Yeah the Storm is out of stock at the moment, waiting on next batch of PCBs to arrive then they will will be back in stock. The Storm is 12 joules

[pure crown]

Cool cool! Thank you very much

[wild ruin]

The PCB used is different from Explorer and ProVolver which both have the same internals/specs.

If you want you can self role in the discord for pre order updates and I'll ping that when I'm informed it is back in stock

[fickle valve]

Thank you! Looks like it will be easy to order cups for Quest 3 later this year too.

[wild ruin]

Yeah pending on things likely ~2 months after launch just like PSVR2 was

Granted for all we know it will use same controllers as Quest 2 or Quest Pro, or at least same shape.

[near kernel]

The printing is very sturdy, its still a 3d print so its got those lines or whatever, otherwise it is solid. The joint itself swivels on a metal screw and its the magnets that take most of the impact. The one thing i was worried about was the ring that goes on the inside of the controller, the tabs or wings broke on my other gunstock, but this one seems to me buch sturdier. Very good build quality.

@random grail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfLp3SdIypM This video does a great job on reviewing the stock

lots of people complaining about iron sighting with certain gunstocks, with the Sidewinder, I'm able to fold the stock in and use any gun. IMO shouldering isn't necessary except for long range shooting. So i'll unfold my stock, take a long range shot, then refold it. So satisfying every time.

[random grail]

Yeah I got it cuz I hate fumbling with magnets, just always having it attached to the right hand sounded so comfortable, is the ring replaceable if it gets damaged?

[near kernel]

I want to say yes, if you watch the video, the guy explains how the whole things can be taken apart, more than likely you can contact KobraVR and ask to buy a replacement.

[near kernel]

yeah magnet attaching or even friction cups suck in comparison to the Sidewinder. I've had issues with a gun sling rubbing too much on my shoulder and causing irritation. And the stock may feel heavy at first, but after a few hours of gameplay you get used to it. The only other thing is the limited space for your thumb under the attached controller. It bothered me at first, but ive gotten used to that as well. Watch the video, he describes its perks over other gunstocks in great detail.

[random grail]

oh I currently use a VRS mk3 its will be way lighter than that haha

[near kernel]

I had a sanlaki gunstock, and it has that same occlusion issue on the tracking rings as the MK III. I had drifting issues with that stock. This occlusionless design is so much better. You're really downgrading on looks, but I promise the performance is way more worth it.

And sure one can get used to the magnet attaching position.. but with the Sidewinder, attaching to the front cup take mere minutes to adjust to

[peak talon]

https://www.olenvr.com/vr-gun-stock-accessories/spine-full-kit-vr-gunstock

does anybody know if this is good or not

[random grail]

some guy made a video about it want me to send it?

[peak talon]

no problem player

[peak talon]

dont worry i subbed to you

[random grail]

no really its not me hahaha

[peak talon]

hmmmm

[random grail]

Im a pokemon tcg guy

who just really enjoys capping people in VR

[near kernel]

i wouldn't reccomend any stock that covers the tracking rings, you're bound to have controller drift, try KobraVR sidewinder, it doesn't look great, but it performs extremely well

[kindred tartan]

@royal wagon, which gunstock do you use?

[royal wagon]

magtube

[kindred tartan]

?/10

[royal wagon]

11/10

best out there

[kindred tartan]

Okay, thanks

[gusty elm]

No 12/10

[royal wagon]

i have no objections

[kindred tartan]

It’s pretty pricey

[wild ruin]

only have to buy it once and can use forever with all future hmds tho, just buy new cups whenever you get a new hmd

[violet saddle]

Anyone got a good video about kobra vr stocks that go in depth and stuff

[wild ruin]

I've had my MagTube since 2018 zero issues whatsoever

[violet saddle]

I was also looking to get one of those can those change to match most guns so it feels more immersive

[wild ruin]

yes can align to any gun in any game

[violet saddle]

Ok sweet I ordered a kobra but I am looking to get a few so I can put them in my setup and was looking at that one

[near kernel]

Protube is overrated

[kindred tartan]

Oh really? Which do you use

[kindred tartan]

Very true

[near kernel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfLp3SdIypM

[wild ruin]

Also have a great warranty as well

[kindred tartan]

Good to know

[violet saddle]

Do you have any good videos about the kobra Wolverine dmr?

[near kernel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNentMNPsyc

KobraVR even has a conversion kit for collapsible butt stock

[royal wagon]

Not for the quality you are getting. I’ve had one since early 2016 and they’ve only gotten better and better

[kindred tartan]

Are you in the US

[royal wagon]

I’ve got like 6000 hours or more on them

Yes

[kindred tartan]

What’s the price difference pounds to dollars?

[royal wagon]

Not that much right now, your bank handles everything, 2 day shipping faster than amazon

[kindred tartan]

Okay, that’s good to know. I’m always nervous with the money difference lol

[royal wagon]

It’s not really a big deal

[violet saddle]

I have question about kobra in general for the front controller grip on the stock is it easy to find once you get used to it

[near kernel]

absolutely, took me only a few minutes to adjust to its position. im so used to it that i forget im using a gunstock in the first place

[steady basalt]

Im too poor for gun stock

Anyways thats the end my speech

[radiant falcon]

Same 🥲

[random grail]

I’m so stoked for mine to come in!!

[near kernel]

definitely worth the wait

[jolly pulsar]

Just ordered a gun stock and im honestly pumped, i really think it will improve how i play ❤️

[near kernel]

i was decent enough without one, but im even better with one. probably best part is being able to hit long range shots without all the twitching

[jolly pulsar]

Im pretty good I think but those long range shots are my problem my hands move to much

[near kernel]

definitely, you really need some stabilization for that

[tender cipher]

Is there any idea on when gun-stock calibration might be developed/implemented?

[lusty thicket]

29$ shipping to us for any of there product is a yikers for me

[near kernel]

yeah pretty pricey, but I'd rather pay that shipping cost than a $150 protube

[safe forum]

almost paying the same price tho the gunstock alone is 89 dollars

[wheat cairn]

Check #📢・announcements it's supposedly coming in the update next week.

[near kernel]

Even if it is close to the same amount, there are major differences between the Sidewinder and a protube where I opted to have a Sidewinder over that

[safe forum]

i agree personally I own a sidewinder aswell and a protube i for sure recommend the sidewinder cause the protube is imo outdated and there is better cheaper options but to each there own

[tough hemlock]

i have a kobravr stock and when i aim in, the weapon in game tilts up, how did you fix it? you need like calibration to fix it, how did you get it to work correctly

[near kernel]

yeah the sks especially has a huge upward tilt. With the sidewinder at least, you can fold the stock inwards and you can aim "smg-style"; in fact i tend to keep the gunstock folded most of the time and unfold it for my long range shots or if i'm trouble putting my sights on an enemy

[near kernel]

I haven't owned a protube, but i have owned another gunstock with magnet attaching. You lose precious seconds fiddling with the gunstock. Being mounted to your dominant controller and being lighweight and compact makes it a much easier choice for me. That and the grip cup in the front for extremely easy mounting and dismounting

[green beacon]

What do u guys think of this one? It's essentially a 1 handed stock but with a long skinny platform sticking out of it to rest your front-hand on.

[safe forum]

Personally wouldnt go for this you could miss or slip your hand if you want something similar try the istockvr

[green beacon]

It's not feasible to ship to my country because shipping is practically the same price as the actual iStock itself lol.

However Im now looking at this one. And then I can just tie the wrist-straps together to get the same effect as the iStock "link" tether.

[safe forum]

havent heard of this brand but looks decent, i just highly advise against the one your you just “set” your controller on top of a thin stick

[green beacon]

Yeah that makes sense, I agree. I think the second one is a better idea. I don't want a stock where both controllers are stuck in it. I still want mobility which is why I'm looking at the 1 handed stocks. Plus by tying the wrist-straps together combined with the 1 handed stock, it should be a lot more stable than just free-handing it.

[polar glade]

Get something like these then. I like the Bowk model most, but there are plenty of options out there

You want one that isn't gonna wobble, nothing more annoying than a flimsy stock

[kindred orchid]

i've used a magtube for a couple of years, loved it in Onward, but for this game I ordered a sidewinder from Kobra. I think it makes more sense to have a gunstock that give you a bit more flexibility when you need to perform lots of quick interactions with objects, looting, etc, and then be able to quickly snap back to gunstock mode when needed.

the Kobra sidewinder has the best design for that imo

[austere pine]

Just looked up Kobra sidewinder. UK to UK estimate delivery over 1 month?? 😮

Longgggg

[empty plover]

Hey guys, played a lot of shooters but want to get a gun stock to up my performance, any suggestions ??

[light oriole]

I use the glistco magni stock and it’s pretty good

[timber shore]

How is the gun alignment with a stock in ghost of tabor?

[light oriole]

It might be a bit off but they are adding gunstock calibration in the next patch

[wild ruin]

The main thing is because of Brexit you have to pay some import fees

We do deal directly in GBP though just select GBP as your currency and pay with card. For PayPal select Euros.

[empty plover]

What’s your guys thoughts on protube stock?

[light oriole]

Never used one

[wild ruin]

There has been a considerable amount of discussion surrounding ProTube in this channel, if you want to use the discord search function to sift through it and find a lot of different opinions and feedback

[empty plover]

What’s the command for that? Sorry about the questions

[wild ruin]

its not a command, its a search bar at the top right of desktop or a side thing you swipe to see on mobile iirc

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000468588-Using-Search

[lusty thicket]

It's still very unreasonable shipping to still have to wait over a month

[violet depot]

I feel like all these companies screwing us on gunstocks lol 100-200 bucks for 3d printed stuff plus the shipping is always crazy amount for items that weigh less then a pound..supply and demand I guess😵

Iv been looking into the Unistock, all aluminum and seems to be the most (easily) adjustable stock iv seen being sold so far.
I'm just trying to justify the $132 price tag (before shipping) currently have a sanalaki and not a fan of it

[obsidian forge]

buy an 3d printer and learn CAD

design your own to your liking

their entire business is making vr gunstocks and in general vr accessories

capitalism bitch

[versed badge]

Where do I acquire this item🧐

[austere pine]

Anyone got a gunstock in UK with fast local shipping?

[near kernel]

The printing took about a month, the shiping itself was only a few days.. he's a one person army printing all sorts of different products with his limited amount of 3d printers.

[near kernel]

KobraVR is in the UK

[mortal parcel]

Order the KobraVR Sidewinder

[pure crown]

Where I get

[spring venture]

All aluminum adjustable connections as well. Thats a nice touch

[gusty elm]

https://clips.twitch.tv/ObedientBrightButterNononoCat-kM777bV4c7G-aCGX

[violet depot]

Agreed, it seems very sturdy. Iv had my sanlaki a few months and it's pretty much held together by duct tape now lol. Dropped it so many times due to the magnet not being strong enough. Currently have my trigger controller ziptied to the stock to keep it on

[storm shell]

Actually, before I get too excited, would you be able to tell me if there will be a version compatible with the Index controllers? What about a minimalist shoulder stock?

[lament bridge]

Where can I find the stl’s for a good quest 2 stock

[faint wigeon]

Great questions! Index controller, no, I dont have an index controller to work with so I cant adapt this to that unfortunately.

Shoulder stock, down the road in a different iteration of the stock. This version of the FreedomStock isn't designed with a shoulder stock because its core function is speed and mobility, to be there when you need it, and out of the way when you dont.

With that said, im currently working on the early stages of a version with a shoulder stock,yes.

[ashen epoch]

Hi, I'm the creator. I personally use the PULL stock for Tabor. But if I'm trolling long range on Tabor island, I use the SPEEDRUN PRO. Hope this helps 🙂

[austere pine]

Estimated delivery is late June. So long

[austere pine]

I looked it’s long ass delivery considering I’m in UK too

[past sun]

I got a protube and I was curious if anyone had any suggestions for gun stock size that works best for this game

[devout perch]

Id imagine most are made to order and prints can take a looooong time

[wild ruin]

https://clips.twitch.tv/PricklyTubularBarracudaPicoMause-vxFUP585vkUbiZyi I assume you mean alignment etc., this is a good setup until the gunstock calibration update

[past sun]

Yeah, thank you

[candid coral]

E

[warm ingot]

anybody know of a good cheap gunstock for the index?

[polar glade]

https://www.bowkvr.com/shop

If you don't want the full version, just send Bowk a message and he'll give you a discount code
He's still working on adding a half stock page

[royal wagon]

magtube or magstarter

[warm ingot]

thanks

[past sun]

Would anyone be able to help me figure out how to align my Magtube to work well in game

I tried doing it on my own but i was really struggling

[obsidian forge]

printing a fully 3d printed gunstock

no time to run to the hardware store and grab me some pvc pipes

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4709000/remixes

[faint wigeon]

No time to run to the hardware store, but you have 10hrs to kill printing a stock haha. Jk, looking good!! 🙌

[obsidian forge]

my ass always at home, cant go out unless its for groceries

[polar glade]

Once gunstock calibration arrives it'll be easier

Basically just set up your stock the way you like it and then calibrate the guns to match

[obsidian forge]

suprisingly printing well though

[past sun]

Gotcha, so it probably be worth it to just wait for the gunstock calibration

[polar glade]

Probably yeah

[polar glade]

Uber does groceries now

[obsidian forge]

too expensive

not paying 1 dollar delivery fee

[past sun]

So wait how would the gunstock calibration even work?

[polar glade]

Contractors does it best, so helpfully they do it like that

It basically let's you orient and shift every single gun into whatever position you like

[past sun]

Oh cool

[near kernel]

They're made to order, so it takes time to print it but the delivery is only a few days. It was the worth the wait for me. Now i'm calling off work and forgetting about school just to use the Sidewinder in Tabor.

[green beacon]

Where'd u get this? Noticed ur also from Aus, did u get it locally?

[polar glade]

Yeah bowk is a Kiwi

[polar glade]

https://www.bowkvr.com/shop

There's options for DIY, 3D printing files, or buy the whole thing

Also, there's a link to the au/nz vr server in my bio if you're interested

[green beacon]

Hmm yeah the one from ur screenshot isnt on that site

[polar glade]

Yeah, it's the marksman version. I just didn't put the front part on
Send Bowk a message and he'll probably give you a discount code for just those parts

I was the 1st half stock user so he's slow to make it its own page

@acoustic spoke have you made the half stock page yet lol

[low stream]

all of these are crazy cool but expensive. i bought PVC piping for $9 and it works well.

[fierce coyote]

Spine is good

Taking forever to arrive tho

[obsidian forge]

now I know why the fuck this shit takes so long and expensive

this is a FUCK TON of post processing

i understand why they charge 50 extra bucks for this shit

[austere pine]

In a world where most my deliveries arrive next day. I haven’t the patience for an order that long 🙈 looks good though

[stuck vale]

anyone know a gunstock thats on the cheaper side

[faint wigeon]

Toilet paper roll gunstock

[stuck vale]

ight bet

[sinful citrus]

well sad to say if you have a vive pro with index controllers the "Olen spine "vrstock wont work for you and give you tracking problems, the guns wont line up sights with out hitting the headset do to how raised the back end of the gun is, and controllers can lose tracking making the gun shoot all over the place at the worst times

very nice looking/ feeling stock for the price how ever

[west garnet]

So idk if its allowed... but im actually sponsored by "IStockVR" And i literally use mine daily so if anyones interested?
https://istockgaming.com/OfficerDrexx

[lethal sinew]

Gunstock Calibration coming next week 🤞 hopefully we can use those kinds of top rail stocks soon

[sinful citrus]

dont think it will fix the problem

[lethal sinew]

If the GoT calibrator is anything like the one in Contractors it will make the spine usable for you.

I actually have no idea though. Being optimistic on their implementation of it

[sinful citrus]

th problem is the pla on the but end of the stock hits the headset as the vive pro is wider then most headsets other then pimax

[lethal sinew]

Ohhh, that's an irl problem. Woof.

[sinful citrus]

These points

Even taking off the back end had problem

[lethal sinew]

Yeah... No offset would help you there,can't shoulder the stock

[sinful citrus]

And for 90$ i should not have to strip it down to use

Ya cant even shoulder it

It hits the side of the pro just barely but enough to mess with you and not be able to line up properly aka the one on the bottom

I feel like it was just built for the quest users and everything else second in mind

Some was saying to take off the top part and just leave the metal rod but if I’m going to do that I just fucking go down to Lowe’s and buy a metal rod for like 15 bucks

Plus, the top part makes me lose tracking on the indexes quite a bit people also say to remove the top part to fix this however, again, this goes back to what I just said if I’m going to do that, I can just buy a metal rod

If you have a quest is great for you if you have anything else I’d probablysay just get a protube I got one of them way back in the day when they first started up and they were really good. I should’ve just went with one of them for my new set up with the indexes

downfall of protube dont look fancy and a bit costly but I know it will at lest work

[frozen walrus]

Any Open Source model, or publicly available .stl / .obj file of a similar hinged stock mechanism? If not I will design and make.

[vagrant halo]

Just go to thingiverse.com and type in quest 2 gunstock there’s a bunch of options with the stl files

I’m pretty sure I’ve even seen that exact one he has

[turbid blaze]

I encourage you to test your design skills

[tepid spruce]

Just tried the iStock today. Had the controls tethered using the included piece. While I do like how it allows for much more stable shooting, not sure how I feel about looting and interacting with my backpack.

[jolly pulsar]

You will probably have to get used to it its what im the most nervous about for my vr gunstock

[fierce coyote]

Im getting an Olen vr spine can’t wait for it to arrive

[rapid tulip]

I was thinking of getting a longer string to tie between them because climbing ladders with them tied is also a nightmare

[tepid spruce]

Ugh. Didn't even attempt to climb a ladder. Lol. I might try it without the tether and leave virtual gunstock on? Would still be more stable than no stock at all. Will report back.

[near kernel]

I don't think KobraVR gives out his designs, you're gonna have to make your own mate. LMK how that goes, and if you need pictures of the stock send me a DM

[timber shore]

Any advice for getting used too a sanlaki gunstock? Printed myself one yesterday and damn it feels awkward as hell (first time stock user)

[near kernel]

I have that stock myself. you're just gonna have to play a lot of games to get used to it, if you're lucky enough to not get controller drift and the 3d printed docks last long enough.. TBH I couldn't get used to the Sanlaki stock. This new KobraVR Sidewinder I got seamlessly integrated into my gameplay within minutes.

[pure crown]

That's funny, that's was the inspiration for my diy stock

[pure crown]

I am NOT affiliated at all. Just got this 2 days ago. More kills in 2 days than the 2 weeks I have owned the game. Really helps with handguns as well.

[pure crown]

It's gotta be the best of both worlds, have u tried it with the virtual stock* enabled aswell?

[pure crown]

I am going to try it here soon actually

I was tryin it out on my first go with my diy but then started playin with It on with just the controllers, but I've made some adjustments with my diy so imma give it another try

Never used a stock before but after seeing what some people can do with them it's starting to get really tempting

[split bronze]

The craftsmanship on this looks top notch. I r. Even trying to figure out how to securely connect my CV1 to PVC and it looks like you’ve nailed it. Would you mind sharing the materials you used, how you got it looking so tight and whether you think it will scuff the controller? Thanks in advance @plucky pond 👍

[candid coral]

E

[twin solar]

Honestly I play way better without my gunstock and just with the virtual gunstock

And it kinda pisses me off

[plucky pond]

Yes bro of course.. I dont know the size of pipe accually but I got my stock from my airsoft M4 then 1 pipe and an angle connector. You need to heat up one pipe( i used heatgun but also stove would work) and just put into it while it is still warm a controller so it will shape perfectly. I need to use tape to atach controler to gunstock for perfect stability and also guard for hand is very important so it stay in your hand like a knuckle.

[plucky pond]

on this connections I'm able to rotate every part like pipe or controller for adjustments, I found all parts at home so it was basically for free but its easy to find in shop with tools and stuff. I'm glad you like it.

[split bronze]

Thank you for the detail man, I appreciate it. Once the pvc cools is it possible to remove the controller easily or does it take a bit of force to disconnect? Also, I’m concerned about scuffing up my controller by inserting/removing frequently, what have you noticed so far?

[plucky pond]

it stays in but goes out when I use it, that's why i use tape to hold it in place.. I see no harm on my controller tho, I have oculus.

[split bronze]

Ok cool, thank you for the info. May need to give this a shot. Cheers @plucky pond

share some pic when u done, im curious

[split bronze]

I have a couple other design challenges to iron out but I definitely will be sharing here whenever it gets built.

[austere pine]

Choosing a gunstock might be the hardest decision ive ever made icl

[light oriole]

So many options

[strange night]

I have a gunstock set up and calibrated for onward, is there any update coming soon for calibration?

[royal wagon]

It’s not too hard, Magtube ftw

[light oriole]

Next patch is introducing calibration for gunstocks

[strange night]

Thank god. Some guns sorta line up, but some are just so far off 😂

Cheers mate, any eta?

[royal wagon]

Next week

[strange night]

Oh fr? Thats amazing

Perfect timing to buy then

[hearty basin]

just joined the discord to ask about this

Made a senlaki and it wasn't lining up with all the guns

good to know a fix is on the way

[austere pine]

Magtube would be an easy choice if it werent for its price for carbon fibre

[royal wagon]

It’s worth it. I’ve had one for over 6 years

[fickle pumice]

It's not it's just a paintball gun stock

[light oriole]

Glistco magni is kinda a cheaper magtube

[fair plank]

I’ve just got a sanlaki gunstock really can’t take to it I’m gunna try and get a refund…. Does anyone recommend a really gunstock for this game?

[quick raptor]

I like this gunstock a lot, the seller recently made some upgrades after him and I talked about it some and it works great with tabor, I suggest buying the additional stock adapter that lowers the gun butt a bit for guns with super low pro sights like the mp40 and sks and other like it, no tracking issues or anything and it’s very satisfying to use. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1408397089/

[lethal sinew]

If you can hold out the gunstock calibrator comes to the game Wednesday, might work then.

I bought the Modus R for about the same cost as that same Sanlaki sleek. It works great if you are adamant you need to replace it

Modus R on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/911983863/3daptive-modus-r-vr-gunstock-quest-2-pro?ref=share_v4_lx

[fair plank]

Might be a shout holding out like you said you can tell it’s not all calibrated right it’s well off and I can’t look down sights with the gunstock at all.

It also just feels abit cheap when you’re using it controllers can’t keep still as I’m trying to ADS

[lethal sinew]

@fair plank here's a video comparison of the Modus R and Sanlaki sleek. I had both on hand

[fair plank]

I’ll take a look thank you

[digital arrow]

What is a magnet stock you would recommend

[royal wagon]

Magtube

[digital arrow]

Thx

[fierce coyote]

Is their any problem with the skolvr gunstock!

?

[delicate quail]

i have the glisco magni stock +. it works well, the only issue i had is that i had to tape down the mechanism that makes it so you can move the cheekrest up and down cause itd just fall to the bottom after a bit

[delicate quail]

well gunstocks are always helpful to stabilize your aim some of the weapons (ex: the luty) are offset so it points up like 10-20 degrees

[delicate slate]

is it just me or the virtual stock does a better job than an actual stock

[old slate]

That's just you, while the virtual stock is nice, having 3 real points of contact is a game changer. Especially for those that shoot irl, the muscle memory transfers real well.

[delicate slate]

i have a protubeVR stock and it feels wierd so yeah maybe its just me but i used it all the time in Onwards but this game i dont need it

[sand relic]

Have y’all see where the 3 in 1 tomahawk went I can’t find it anywhere

[turbid blaze]

you cannot buy this atm

[dusk dagger]

The creator is currently making his own website. From what I was told through his email that it'll be up in a week or two. I was lucky enough to order one before he removed it from Etsy

This is the link to the site: https://skolvr.com/

[fluid hornet]

How much did it cost?

[dusk dagger]

Umm mine was just over $200 CAD, but I think it's usually $150

[fluid hornet]

Awesome, thanks!

[final citrus]

whats the best under $150 stock

[obsidian forge]

a 3d printer

[faint wigeon]

😏

[obsidian forge]

all must suffer

[faint wigeon]

I recommend tree supports, and increase your "Support Z Distance, that'll help make the distance between the print and the supports bigger, and combine that with tree supports, they should come off fairly easy, Compared to normal supports

[light oriole]

Glistco magni stock is 75

It’s pretty good

[candid coral]

@faint wigeon

[faint wigeon]

[faint wigeon]

No can do bro, im out of the house today

[candid coral]

Dam k

[obsidian forge]

tree supports dont work on this stock unfortuantly, theres some places that wont be supported by it that needs support

I also tuned my support settings so both top and bottom z distances for my supports are good

density, ect

[wild ruin]

https://www.protubevr.com/en/product/169-magtube-gunstock.html MagTube is just under $150usd with free DHL Express International shipping, compatible with 20+ different controller brands

[hallow stream]

I cant use my sanlaki on half the guns…

[wild ruin]

gunstock calibration next update 😄

[misty ibex]

This is my Frankenstein stock. I went with the Mamut due to its metal construction. I wanted something that would be a bit sturdier than the standard 3D printed fare and I am quite happy with it. Though, the shoulder piece that comes with it is a bit of a hassle to adjust.

Since I wanted to simulate real rifles as much as possible, I decided to get the ProTubeVR ForceTube. To get it as close to real I decided to get the 12 joules version – which I paid an extra $300 for – and that is where the disappointment begins.

Here is a video of my unit in action.

When you compare that to the prior video posted you’ll notice that my unit has less recoil than the presumably 5J model posted earlier.

What does that mean? I can’t be certain of course. But some possibilities include that the 12J unit never actually performed to specs. That may be why it no longer seems to be available for purchase.

Part of it could be that the 12J model is heavier than the 5J model and that impacts the amount of jump that occurs from the table.

It could mean that there is substantial inconsistencies in the performances of each unit. In any case it is best to be forewarned before you decide to purchase one of these rather pricey units.

Overall, the amount of felt recoil that I am experiencing is not worth what I paid for the 12J model.

[wild ruin]

Sounds like something is wrong with your unit. https://www.protubevr.com/en/content/6-customer-support go through here and they'll take care of it ASAP.

The reason Storm isn't available right now is we are out of stock and waiting on the next batch of PCBs to be able to construct more. We order PCBs in batches for all of our haptic devices. ForceTube Explorer (aka 5J) and ProVolver use the same PCB, and Storm (aka 12J) uses a different one.

Any 12J unit that is weaker than 5J is not functioning as intended and we will for sure resolve the issue asap.

[misty ibex]

Ok I will look into that. Thank You

[molten pollen]

who else here is holding off until the tomahawk is purchasable again?

[tired iris]

does anyone know where i can get an oculus controller gunstock under 47 dollars?

[radiant falcon]

Yea lol

[umbral lynx]

if any one is thinking of just making their own due to slim pickings online here is mine.. hoping it will give someone some ideas

[forest girder]

Can you change the tomahawk on the fly?

[radiant falcon]

Yea

Pretty much

[forest girder]

Is there a vid of it

[radiant falcon]

As long as you remember where the buttons are and hold I’ll get the link

https://youtu.be/3P-NK511wIk

[forest girder]

Controllers look like they are very close together

Problematic when using big rifles Maybe?

[radiant falcon]

Yeah kinda

[stoic cairn]

That's not a bad idea though... I've learned that for the most part, you can put your off hand on the rifle and then pull back some to clip into my protube. I'd imagine the idea would be similar here.
Personally, I'm more concerned about the lack of adjustment. If the game you're playing doesn't have manual calibration (clears throat looks at devs) you're going to be limited to what weapons fit that specific configuration.

The stock helps but differences in sight over bore wouldn't be helped more by that.

Also, I don't think they should market this as more than a stock. The whole magnets on the ends sticking them together, like, why? What game do you play with that? Imagine trying to pull a grenade pin and you have to deal with that

[royal wagon]

Yeah, more is not better. It’s also a lot of 3D printed plastic for the structural strength. A protube is mostly injection molded the rigidity is provided by steel or carbon fiber tubes

Very sturdy, very adjustable, very optimized

[candid coral]

E

[stoic cairn]

I'd assume this is less than a protube though which would be a selling point. Imo stocks are far too expensive right now. I'm surprised bigger companies haven't started producing lower cost injection moulded pieces.
I mean, the joints for the protube are injection because it's a mass produced item they just utilize, but the cups and butt are printed which is super sketchy to me since those are the highest points of stress.

[royal wagon]

Protubes 3D printing is extremely high quality, I’ve got 6000 hours across various protube parts, the stress points were the ones they made injection molded. Durability on protube stuff is very high

[stoic cairn]

Oh yeah, it's high quality product but printed pieces are just inherently weaker and you're using the printed cups to press against the printed butt and tugging on them, etc.
I absolutely love my protube but injection cups and a butt would just be safer, all I'm saying.

[wild ruin]

Safer yes. As ragesaq mentioned what we currently do is safe enough. We also have an extensive warranty in place to cover any breaks or cracks etc. Even outside of warranty it is very easy to replace a part. After a lot of practice one doesn't need to put much force into holding the stock or detaching/reattaching controllers, so the actual amount of stress onto these printed parts isn't that much.

Also the joint connectors are injection moulded I'm fairly sure. So it is just the back end (shoulder stock), the cups, and the magnetic brackets that attach to the t connectors, plus the sling points, and other misc parts that are 3d printed.

[split bronze]

I see a lot of people making gunstocks where the controllers are side by side height-wise, then I see others where the front controller is slightly raised like this pic. Can anyone with experience making then using their DIY gunstock share their experience with how much higher their front controller should be than the back controller?

[wild ruin]

In regards to our stocks being 'expensive', we did recently increase the price after maintaining the same price point for years.

[royal wagon]

Until gunstock calibration is out, and for any game that doesn’t have it, there is no one height that is the correct answer. Different games and different guns have different geometries and require different angles to be correct, that’s why an adjustable stock is an such an important aspect

[wild ruin]

^ and all of that is compounded by how you hold it and aim as well

Then also try to factor in tracking for the controllers

[narrow parrot]

Is the hand closest to the butt of the stock moveable ?

[forest girder]

You are probably the biggest lover of protube ive ever seen

More than the creators 😂

[candid coral]

Ku

[quick raptor]

No it’s mounted to the stock but I use it just fine with backpacks and looting and stuff

[unreal tusk]

Magni Stock+ - VR Carbon Fiber Controller Stock Rifle Adapter Compatible with Valve Index (Black) https://a.co/d/hF9WTSu

So I finally pulled the trigger on this

any thoughts?

[molten pollen]

im sorry bro but $100+ for some metal and 3d printed plastic is just outrageous i get yall are reputable and your designs are very well made but still those prices are just insane

[torn badger]

yo

[light oriole]

There’s a lot of people from vr gunstock companies here

[wild ruin]

What are you wanting out of a gunstock?

[molten pollen]

durable and not a 1/3 of a paycheck to buy lol

[rancid abyss]

by any chance do you have the stl files for the controller holder parts? (if they're for quest 2) Also how easy is it to take out the controllers and put em back in for looting?

[plush wyvern]

My bro got me a gun stock and im happy

[obsidian forge]

make your own or dont use one at all

raw materials may be 20 to 50 bucks but the work required to put one together and multiply that by however many people DONT wanna design or create their own gunstock, and it starts to add up

you are paying for the raw materials, the use of the design chosen, extra CHOSEN customization (color ect) and the work required to ASSEMBLE

all that shit makes sense when it goes over 100, people gotta live and no one making reputable gunstocks are outsourcing their work to china where labor is less than a cent per hour

also heres my rant in a mp3 just in case you have attention deficit disorder

[tropic barn]

yeah when i was looking for a gun stock i though about just making one but the plans online kinda suck and i dont want to waste my time making it let along designing one so my free time is worth paying someone to do it. also sourcing materials/hardware can honestly be a pain in the ass thats why ive seen other 3d printed stuff be sold as a hardware kits. anther thing to add is they maintain a whole fleet of printers as people wont want to pay you if your prints are done on a worn out ender 3 that was never set up right to begin with.

kinda wish some gunstocks you could just buy a hardware kit as the designer gets payed and i dont have to wait for them to have a a 3d printer to be avalbe and for it to get printed i can just but the kit and start a print when it ships make it way quicker. only problem with this is the design has to be open source as if its not anyone who buys on can leak the print files.

[obsidian forge]

yeah, I belive salanki does kits

probably spelled his username wrong but I remember you could buy the kit for 30 bucks, raw materials minus the printed parts

his stuff is all open source so if you wanna make your own then you can make your own and source your own parts

but if you dont wanna go looking he has the kit for sale and just to get by, he adds like 5 bucks for a “service fee” for grabbing all the parts and shipping it for you

[pine fjord]

lol

[indigo terrace]

If yall already have a 3D printer, there’s loads of models online that you can download for free and just print a stock out. Might require some assembly work with a doddering iron but it’s easy enough

[balmy grove]

$100 is 1/3 of your paycheck? you make $300 a check? wtf.

[ivory torrent]

Does anyone have the mk3 I’ve been looking into getting it for the quest what’s your opinions

[noble scarab]

I converting a nerf gun stock in to a vr stock

[tidal eagle]

Honestly just make a gun stock without the front part, ive made one only for my right controller and it works very well

[past spindle]

On the bowkvr discord server you find all the STL files!

[lofty comet]

this is actually an awesome idea and i might do the same with one of mine

[faint wigeon]

[lusty thicket]

@faint wigeon when is it going on sale

[faint wigeon]

Its alive!

https://www.etsy.com/FreedomStockVR/listing/1468612811/freedomstock-vr-quest-2-vr-gunstock

Currently only shipping to US at the moment however. (hopes to ship international in the future)

[lusty thicket]

What's the approximate time ittl arrive after ordering if

It

[light oriole]

Neat

[faint wigeon]

They are made to order, and production takes 1-2 days, then once shipped (Im shipping from California), shipments usually arrive within 2-3 business days depending on the state being shipped to.

[lusty thicket]

Ahh ok

Not too bad

[faint wigeon]

Yeah, in a perfect world, outsourcing manufacturing to a plastic injection molding manufacturer would be much more affordable and the ideal way to go, and would allow me to have a ton on hand ready to go. Unfortunately, i'm like most other small VR gunstock creators, and am limited to 3D printing the parts myself.

[fair plank]

Has any one used the Kobra wolverine gunstock and can recommend it? I’m just looking at one handed stocks?

[summer pebble]

Which is the best and cheapest gunstock?

[sinful citrus]

best set up is close to $200 usd kinda joke for protube

[faint wigeon]

"best setup" is pretty subjective. A higher price tag doesn't automatically make it better, just means its made out of more premium material.

[lusty thicket]

I like cheesy setup I will probably order one soon

60$ really isn't bad and it doesn't really get in the way

[sinful citrus]

ok well best set up for Valve Index is 175$, subjective there the carbon tubes are knowen to be better for tracking so its close to 200

o ya thats 175 is with there very nice 10% off too

so ya I would fucking hope they could hold there price lol I dont think it will hurt th em

and to be honest I dont know if they charge for shipping so guess it ""COULD"" even go over 200

so ya I stand by what I said " best set up is close to $200 usd kinda joke for protube" but ty for your 2cents of input was 100% worth u typing

the man himself is typing now

[wild ruin]

All Magtubes ship with FREE DHL Express International 5 day shipping

Depending on where you live you can receive it in less than 48 hours

[sinful citrus]

well thats nice of you all big time ... for the price u charge at lest.... I member when u all just started off

I have a og one for t he old rift, ya protube is super nice, always been pricey very much so

[wild ruin]

Our stocks are built to last, so buy one and use for years, upgrading to new cups as you upgrade to new headsets

We also have an extensive warranty, and even outside of that replacement parts aren't hard to get

[sinful citrus]

to be honest for same price someone can buy a 3d printer

[obsidian forge]

you should

[sinful citrus]

I have

thats how I know

thingiverse is a nice place

[obsidian forge]

lovely

[wild ruin]

What accessories for your headset do you actually buy then

vs diying

[sinful citrus]

wireless unit for the vive was kinda hard to 3d print that lol and wires

also got indexs for the vive so guess that counts

I did get a olanvr as they looked super clean and wanted to give them a shot but sadly it did not work well with the vive pro would hit the headset nice stock for the cash tho, would prob work well with the q2 and not a bad price under 80

I also got a bhaptics vest the other day ( not worth te cash ) but a super cool toy

but id give them shit for there price too

[obsidian forge]

bhaptics is fun but not worth 500 bucks

ahh tingling buzz buzz

[faint wigeon]

Its $500?? Holy mother of moses

[sinful citrus]

not that it dont work or anything just dont think its worth the price

Order Summary
Item(s) Subtotal:$529.00
Shipping & Handling:$9.72
Free Shipping:-$9.72
Total before tax:$529.00
Estimated tax to be collected:$35.71
Grand Total:$564.71

ya thats the price

[obsidian forge]

at that point just tell someone next to me to shoot me with a fucking pellet gun everytime I get shot

more realistic

[sinful citrus]

alot cheaper too

[wild ruin]

Definitely don't look into racing or flight sim then. Makes VR look CHEAP AF

[obsidian forge]

my ass looked into some flight sim shit and holy fuck was it expensive

[sinful citrus]

ya I have not found a good racing I like for vr sadly, vrchat had some kart raceing that was fun

btw I give pro tube shit for there price and always will, how ever I how got one in the past and it way better then what I can do and I will prob end up getting a 2ed one for the indexes , dont mean I agree with price

just means I say fuck it drop $200

[wild ruin]

Just depends on what someone wants and why, and that's why there's so many different stocks available in different price ranges and also why so many people are perfectly content without one at all. No one product or company can cater to every single potential consumer in a market space.

Even within racing and flight sim there's the low budget pulley resistance based wheels or small spring hotas, all the way up to $4k+ for a single pedal or FFB joystick base. Really just depends on what someone wants and why. If they just want a basic experience of racing that isn't a gamepad, maybe they'll be perfectly content with the cheapest wheel available. If they want to train for real racing or an experience as close to 1:1 GT3 as possible, maybe they're fine dropping $100k on a full motion rig.

The diversity available on the gunstock market is such an incredible and wonderful thing and it is such a great time to get into VR as it begins to really kick off and hit mainstream.

[sinful citrus]

I agree

[obsidian forge]

also a good time to start making gunstocks too, not many known options out there aside from protube that I know of

protube is literally the only company that comes to mind when I think of gunstocks

[sinful citrus]

if you got a quest 2 you should give a olan spine a shot there nice looking and all but if you have a wider headset then the quest 2 dont even bother

[obsidian forge]

printing my own gunstock

[sinful citrus]

thats king

[obsidian forge]

i got no money to buy one

[sinful citrus]

it be like that sometimes

[obsidian forge]

project should be finished today since I started on friday

[wild ruin]

Yeah ProTubeVR has been around since the beginning.

For anyone curious this page explains a lot about the history of ProTubeVR etc.

https://www.protubevr.com/en/content/41-who-are-we-

[obsidian forge]

power goes out and I forgot to turn on power loss recovery

lost an 5 hour print

[sinful citrus]

I was there at the start... and had that same rant I just did with you all back then lol

[obsidian forge]

filament got tangled during printing

8 hour print lost

i shoulda finished on sunday

random shit kept happening so now it moved to today

[sinful citrus]

I think I meet one of the owners if not the owner back in orbus

[wild ruin]

That's pretty cool. Man I remember OrbusVR. The fishing was pretty cool. I also used one of the power or special attacks with a sword to do the Zelda spin attack 😂

[summer pebble]

Best cheap gunstock?

[split bronze]

The more time I spend on here, the more I realize everyone just asks the same few questions 😂

[light oriole]

Depends on what you are looking for

A half stock?

Full stock

The one freedomstock made where it’s kinda a mix of both

A cheaper fullstock that I use is the glistco magni stock

A good half stock is the istock

[fathom kraken]

play asetto corsa it is hard to get going sometimes but its some of the most realistic driving you can experience in a game rn imo but you will need a wheel and stuff the headset is only a small part of a good driving sim

[fathom kraken]

i have my own 3D printed stock that took ab .15 cents to make the ROI could go crazy

[winter gyro]

It seems this is the best channel for this question. It may be biased however; do you see benefit in using gun stocks for tabor? I play a buncha VR FPS andy tracking seems a little off, or drifty and wondering if a stock will help alleviate

[sinful citrus]

ill take a peek at it, ya I got a wheel set up for forza so good there

[forest girder]

my stock is finally in the country so ill recieve it soon i hope

[lusty thicket]

@faint wigeon I did order one can't wait to get it

Especially with gunstock calibration susposed to be soon

https://tenor.com/view/confused-wth-wtf-really-meme-gif-17151805

[molten pollen]

its a gunstock chat not a “ProtubeVR” support chat man

[forest girder]

many many people own protube so why not

and its not he advertises it out of the blue, someone asks a question and he answers

[molten pollen]

i mean looking at his message history the only chat hes ever typed in this discord is this one and its all him trying to sell their products

i understand mans gotta eat but

i come in here looking for alternatives to an $140 gunstock and i just constantly see this man flooding the chat with his salesmanship

no hate brother just giving my 2 cents

[rugged sail]

Im in the midst of trying to create a gunstock kind of like the protube but with printed grips and pvc pipe + connections

has anyone attempted or seen something similar?

@wild ruin I mean thats fantastic, but also a little out of place. Does protube have their own discord/subreddit/chat help? Rather than seek out tabor gunstock-chat to get help and suggestions for buying a protube don't you think that information would be a bit more accessible in a general area for protube?

Please be respectful. We appreciate ProTube helping people out here. We have other people from other gunstock brands around and we also appreciate every single one of them. It is ok to buy a gunstock from any enterprise you may want to support. All we are asking is to stay respectful as the rules from our server also applies here.

[forest girder]

shipping price wont be outrageous if you want the shipping time to be outrageous

Ordered mine 2 weeks ago

[molten pollen]

i dont mean shipping price i mean shipping time

[forest girder]

Haven’t got mine yet

[molten pollen]

most etsy creators take like 2-4 weeks to ship them out

[tulip dust]

for any brand, please, don't use Amazon

[forest girder]

Why

[tulip dust]

or the less you can

[molten pollen]

why wouldnt you wanna use amazon

[tulip dust]

cause amazon make the life super hard on 'manufacturer side'

[queen badger]

if you can find a direct link to their enterprise it is always the preferred method for max support 🙂

[tulip dust]

but sometime it's convinient,
but things tend to be more expensive on amazon due to this

Problem is customer need to 'trust' the brand/manufacturer

[molten pollen]

thanks for saying that, just found their etsy and they are $20 cheaper

[tulip dust]

In my case,
Amazon don't even let the customer contact us in case of problem

[tulip dust]

👍 see

[molten pollen]

yessir

[tulip dust]

Amazon take about 14% minimum,
margin have to be done anyway, it's why many things are more expensive on Amazon

[molten pollen]

@queen badger You the one who voices the tiktok content?

The struggle stock

[violet depot]

Money doesn't always mean better

Nicejob on the homemade stock!

[obsidian forge]

the struggle stock v2

pain in the ASS to remove supports and polish

i use this for other vr games and it works very well

ghost of tabor? not so much

[maiden bobcat]

anyone know if its cheaper to buy the magtube as a whole or the individual parts

[wild ruin]

https://clips.twitch.tv/PricklyTubularBarracudaPicoMause-vxFUP585vkUbiZyi

Follow this until gunstock calibration update

[twin solar]

oooooo

[wild ruin]

Cheaper as a whole. We used to sell in kits customers assemble many years ago. It's actually what people like me and @royal wagon bought.

Over time that changed and is no longer sold. Buying the MagTube outright will be both cheaper and easier. Especially since most parts of it are combined for a discount such as sling, prostraps, etc.

[maiden bobcat]

roger, thanks for the info

[wild ruin]

The full parts list pdf for magtube plus assembly video is still up on our discord if one was determined to get in parts, but it'd be a lot of work to add each individual part to cart as well.

[wild ruin]

With the adjustability of the magtube it is possible to set up for all guns in all games. It may be easier in some than others, and some like GoT may require a lot of experience with the stock understanding how it can be adjusted to achieve a decent alignment.

Hopefully that clip helps not only with this game but gives an idea of how you could approach other harder to align games in the future as well 😉

[maiden bobcat]

would it be 10-20$ cheaper?

ima do it just to see if I can lmao

are the carbon tubes susceptible to shear stress with bonking them on stuff

[jade tundra]

So like, why does releasing the grip of a gun tilt the gun sideways it’s so odd

[wild ruin]

If you manage to get the actual correct full parts list in your cart let me know lol. Just eyeballing it and estimating I'm quite certain the magtube is cheaper. By how much idk.

I have never since the existence of carbon tubes for protube seen pics or heard of someone breaking them or otherwise structurally damaging them. They are quite durable moreso than chrome.

[maiden bobcat]

ui element here is a little confusing just fyi

[north vector]

All that and yall still can't aim smh

[wild ruin]

What page is that

[maiden bobcat]

I aint got a stock lmao

[maiden bobcat]

magtube

for mq2

172.66usd for carbon, 111.84usd for the parts, lemme double check though

[wild ruin]

Also it's a good $30+ cheaper to get magtube chrome and regular material cups

It just means you have to select a sling type. Can't not have a sling.

[maiden bobcat]

sling/cup/backend/mech/carbon tube

[wild ruin]

Checkmark the empty box I think

[maiden bobcat]

yea im just saying the "accessory in this group" doesn't highlight the sling explicitly

106.41 for components, 145.51 for chrome magtube

[wild ruin]

it says mandatory choice

The components are wrong

[maiden bobcat]

do you need two of the mechanical components?

[wild ruin]

You need the components, plus 2 bracket for gunstock.

It's definitely cheaper to just get the magtube

[maiden bobcat]

ah, thought I grabbed those already

[wild ruin]

Carbon you save 10% on magtube by selecting cups and tubes and backend

[maiden bobcat]

still 124/145 for the chrome

for this +2 brackets

[wild ruin]

Missing so many parts

[maiden bobcat]

do you got the list on hand

no worries if not

[wild ruin]

#🔫・vr-gunstock-chat message it's in our discord

In tutorials channel

https://www.protubevr.com/en/product/5-3-componant.html#/3-compo_0_type-gunstock_black_structural_parts

https://www.protubevr.com/en/product/3-1-bracket-gunstock.html#/1-bracket_0_type-notched

Well over $146

Getting magtube va getting starter and upgrading to magtube is also cheaper

[maiden bobcat]

ah yeah so its the 3 mech groups

[wild ruin]

Some of the products are presented the way they are due to website limitations

[maiden bobcat]

makes sense

[brittle depot]

Are we getting settings for adjustments anytime soon?

[obsidian forge]

wednsday

[mortal parcel]

Does anyone know if the gunstock calibration really coming out this week?

[royal wagon]

That’s the word

[mortal parcel]

Wednesday confirmed?

[royal wagon]

More or less

It’s not confirmed until you see the #📢・announcements that the servers are back and here is the patch notes

[mortal parcel]

Off topic, will we keep our trader levels post wipe on July?

[royal wagon]

No

Wipe is wipe

[mortal parcel]

Nooo don’t tell me that bro I was grinding for no reason I got them all level 4

[royal wagon]

july 1st is a long, long time away

[meager merlin]

Does anyone know of a 3D printable stock for vive cosmos?

[turbid blaze]

maybe slippy slap cups vrom bowkvr may work for cosmos

[turbid blaze]

.

[meager merlin]

thanks mate

[forest girder]

My stocks in customs Yay

Gotta pay for that too

[radiant falcon]

I’m either going to build this or buy a tomahawk gunstock again

[tulip dust]

To the test today :

(not sure I can call it an 'advantage' or say it's 'smart' to use this in a competitive game... But it's so fun😅)

[summer pebble]

Best cheap gunstock?

[tulip dust]

@summer pebble some are on Esty for super cheap,
Can look on 'prostarter' side for ProTubeVR's ecosystem,

But it dépend what you call 'cheap'?
(can also attempt a pvc build before investing in a retail one 🤷)

[meager summit]

I 3d printed a quest right controller holder, zip tied that to a leg i took off a broken old tripod, duct taped a sock to the end and it works a treat lol ill send a photo of it when i get home from work ahaa

[digital arrow]

Wasn’t this meant for work

[fierce phoenix]

anyone have any ideas for lefthanded gunstocks that work with pistols and rifles?

[tulip dust]

It work, but have to test how 'viable' it is with dual recoil module
Ps : It's my work to play/test in VR^^

[tulip dust]

Many can be reasambled as lefty, and many let you go free hands for pistols

(magnetic gunstock plus à sling, and can go pistol when you want to, just drop the gun stock)

[pure crown]

I seen this print online that attaches to nerf stocks hahaha

[surreal quarry]

That’s pretty creative

[obsidian forge]

I mean it works

[surreal quarry]

Would be good if they extended it and added a second controller cup

[pure crown]

Might head on down to the library one-day and print it, see how it goes, pretty much an istock 🤣

[faint wigeon]

Your library has a 3D printer? Thats dope!

[pure crown]

Apparently , I was googling 3d printer near me and the library popped up

[pure crown]

I tried something similar with a paintball stcok, I'd post it again but buddy might have a stoke cuz I haven't cleaned it yet hahaha

[faint wigeon]

Ide be interested to see how they handle or if they allow, really long 5hr+ prints at the library.

[pure crown]

So by the sounds of it if you go early enough, you can print till they close haha

Don't mind the group chat picture hahaha

[obsidian forge]

or invest in a 3d printer

that always works

somewhat

[finite pike]

You don’t need these expensive gunstocks there are easier ways just put your right hand against your left arm it helps with stability

[obsidian forge]

only issue is my hands cant keep a 3 ounce controller stable because its so fucking light

[finite pike]

Bro what

Just hold it against your arm that’s all there is to it

[obsidian forge]

you forgot how guns in vr align

i try that with snipers and it semi works for me

nothing else

[finite pike]

Just use the point adjusting tool they give you to align where your controllers point

[obsidian forge]

too much work

id rather spend 5 days 3d printing a vr gunstock

[finite pike]

But buying a 100 dollar game stock is better?

[obsidian forge]

fuck no

I already 3d printed my gunstock

[finite pike]

The 3d printer is worth alot more

Like 400 bucks

[obsidian forge]

900 including my time on maintence

fuck 3d printer maintenance

[finite pike]

Well damn you might as well buy a stock

[obsidian forge]

i bought my 3d printer not just for a stupid gunstock

I had the option to get a quest 2 or a ender 3 v2 and I chose the ender

then I got my quest 2 two years later

[finite pike]

Bro what is wrong with you

[obsidian forge]

nothing

you are misreading my shit

[finite pike]

Spent 900 bucks on a 3d printer for a stock

[finite pike]

Why so hostile

[finite pike]

Damn so heated

What did you buy it for

[obsidian forge]

💀

[unique cargo]

Just kiss already

[obsidian forge]

he dead

[obsidian forge]

this is true

[hexed stone]

Yes, it is I

[surreal quarry]

Hi soul sorry for ping but since you’re here do you know what time patch is tomorrow because I’m out of town until late tonight and wanna try to buy the FF (I’m on quest)

Just wanna know if it’s gonna be mid day or the morning to see if I gotta do it when I get home

[hexed stone]

No idea.

They're hard at work.

[wary heron]

psa: with v53-54 for quest, some headsets have the new double tap to switch tracking option on by default. this absolutely screws with gunstocks and on pc and q2 versions of the game causes tracking to hang for about 5 seconds. the gunstock transfers the vibrations between the controllers and initiates this.

also, if you use link or watch videos in your headset, disable the updater app with a file manager to avoid v53 for now if it hasnt installed already. it causes minor white fuzz artifacting in dark scenes over link, they changed encoding, aka broke it again, very minor if at all ingame, but still very noticable in steamvr homeless mode, and dark games.

ive tried everything, there is no mitigating this issue.

worst 2 updates in a long time

[forest girder]

just turn it off

thats what i did

[static pulsar]

what gunstock do y’all think i should get?

i was going to get the tomahawk stock but idk if it’s any good

[random grail]

What controllers do you have?

@static pulsar

Before everyone comes in shouting protube lemme tell you about them

So if you have an index protube is probably going to be your best bet if you’re ok with the weight being under your hands rather than over

If you have a quest I would recommend something lighter. I personally enjoy the stocks that semi permanently attach to your right hand so you don’t have to fumble with the magnets. So I would recommend Kobe’s VR sidewinder

Open VRs Spine, the VRS MK3, and the Sanlaki are all great except they all block parts of the tracking rings. Some people have issues some people don’t.

Hope this helps @static pulsar

[wary heron]

yea, i did. didnt know it existed

my issue is just the minor artifacting over link with the update

could break it entirely like past updates, so could be worse, but i wish theyd have 3 update channels, ptc, newest and stable. because clearly a ptc isnt enough to stop them from releasing broken shit

minor, but shouldnt exist at all

[faint wigeon]

Freedomstock is also pretty rad also for Q2 users, and it doesn't block tracking at all.. im definitely not biased or anything tho 😏 haha

[random grail]

That’s the magnetic one right? For stability not shoulder support?

[lethal sinew]

https://www.etsy.com/FreedomStockVR/listing/1468612811/freedomstock-vr-quest-2-vr-gunstock

[mortal parcel]

I use the kobra vr DMR but like glued the front parts together and removed back stock

[faint wigeon]

Correct, but shoulder support is in development 🤐

[mortal parcel]

I would suggest @faint wigeon ‘s freedom stock but if you live in the UK then kobra vr sidewinder

[random grail]

It looks like a cool option I’ve just never tried it. Could be a great alternative to the protube magstarter though!

[faint wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/machoman-gif-13385558

[barren vigil]

Any suggestions for a good gunstock that's is interchangeable for different variations

[royal wagon]

meaning different controllers for different headsets?

[barren vigil]

Different variations of game and weapons and is somewhat affordable and not over priced

[random grail]

I mean you could always send me one to review lmao

[random grail]

Btw your Etsy page says sold out

[pure crown]

iGunstock has changed my kill count 12,000% in just a few days

[lusty thicket]

Will the shoulder peice be able to purchase separately for a cheaper price and attach onto the normal one?

[faint wigeon]

That's because the VR shooter community on discord is so awesome and supportive, I sold out within an hour of opening. I am in the process of getting more up tho!

[faint wigeon]

That is the plan, yes. I'll definitely let you know when that's ready to go!

[lusty thicket]

Damn I'm lucky I got to order one then

[fossil isle]

Do you ship to EU?

[hearty basin]

Was looking at @faint wigeon FreedomStock and then saw this and started laughing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8mRzASSs48

I guess if it works right

[faint wigeon]

Not at the moment unfortunately. I am looking at international shipping in the future tho for sure!

[fossil isle]

Ok thanks for answering 👍

[faint wigeon]

Haha, hey if it works it works 😄

[faint wigeon]

Absolutely!

[light oriole]

And they MEAN gunface

[barren spire]

Works flawlessly

Cost me nothing

[wraith lichen]

Is that cardboard and duck tape

[maiden bobcat]

expensivei mmersion

looks wicked though

[dusty marlin]

Oculus Quest 2 gun stock recommendation

?

[wraith lichen]

Why not just tape your controllers to a rifle why spend extra money not a vr stock

[barren spire]

Its toilet paper rolls, plastic tubes, ducttape, velcro, and a chobani yogurt cup.

[wraith lichen]

You red necked Rigged that bitch

[barren spire]

It works great for tabor since i never have to drop the stock.

[wraith lichen]

😂 true

[dusty marlin]

Is the wolverine stock good?

Nah i hardly ever use it anymore dont play many flat games any more

[forest girder]

But you can still tidy up

Make it look better

[barren spire]

Nah its all good. Looks good to me just like my gunstock. Functional

I work 60 hours a week and dont feel like spending my limited free time moving cords around

[mortal parcel]

I want gunstock calibration

[unreal tusk]

we all do..

and it’s coming

For sure

[barren spire]

In this update tomorrow i believe

[stark hornet]

Oooh update

[unreal tusk]

sweet. That’s the day my gunstock is arriving

[obsidian forge]

finally putting my stock together after 5 days of printing

[obsidian forge]

tested it out, not bad but tracking is delayed for whatever reason, think its because of a software update I did actually

my controller kept fucking vibrating every few seconds for whatever reason which I dont think I caused

[wild ruin]

#🔫・vr-gunstock-chat message you hear about this?

[obsidian forge]

oh shit yeah I skimmed over that thinking it was nothing

ok now I understand what you guys were talking about

I updated the quest recently so thats probably whats fucking the stock over

[bright pelican]

Not gunstock but here’s my loot from just killing dupers

[obsidian forge]

how does one do this

[brazen badge]

what is the best gunstock for my money

if im on a budget

[mortal parcel]

What is that bro the John wick gun?@strong narwhal

[strong narwhal]

I found it in raid you trying to trade?

[mortal parcel]

Get outta here ain’t no way

They don’t got that in game

[sterile ingot]

How do y’all feel about the update

[wheat parcel]

Some dude gave me this gun and that green mag is that obtainable

[stoic cairn]

Kinda just makes you look like a duper with a weak excuse to try and flex though doesn’t it?

[strong narwhal]

Yes sir

[wheat parcel]

Dupers are hella gay

[maiden bobcat]

protube starter/istock

[tulip dust]

For now, all I can say is it's way more pleasant to handle than expected 😅

[pure wharf]

Only issue I find with using a stock in this game is every gun has a different position to hold it and realigning on the go is difficult

It would be good if we had per gun offsets we could save

[turbid blaze]

calibration should be in upcoming patch

[steel zenith]

is there anyway i can turn off virtual gunstock? i’m pretty sure it’s on bcuz my gun will get glued on my shoulder in game and it messes me up bad

[light oriole]

It’s in settings

But it’s turned off by default

[rotund viper]

Use sticks taped to your controllers for budget options.

[pure crown]

?

[tulip dust]

just completed an extract on Silo using the ProVolver with extention and a P40,
I just love how i feel 'noob' in this game and the 'pressure' to stay alive^^.
Right now i'm more focus on stay alive and complete runs instead of 'just testing'...
So i act like a tiny little splinter crossing the map and love it^^

[forest girder]

$30 extra for customs great

[tulip dust]

from / to ?

[forest girder]

From canada (i think) to sweden

Its the magni

[tulip dust]

ok, cause usually i see complains 'to' canada^^

(still have no 'general agreement' between CA and EU.... so have overcharge in many cases unlike USA)

[forest girder]

Where do you ship from?

[tulip dust]

France

(taxes stuff is a mess especially since UK left EU.... No Tax to USA, Taxes to Canada depent on luck and aera of delivery, UK have 'normal' VAT until you reatch 150£ and then customer have to pay taxes.....)

🤦

[obsidian forge]

uk left the eu?

[wild ruin]

Brexit has changed a lot of things

[potent yarrow]

I found it too in the radio station on island

[mortal parcel]

Where is our gunstock calibration

[dusk dagger]

Just got this bad boy

that also makes gunstock #4 just been trying out the different brands

(magni stock, protube, Istock, and now the Towahawk)

[toxic haven]

Getting the same one soon

[empty plover]

Lmk how you like it I’m going to buy too

Did you get it through skol @dusk dagger

[dusk dagger]

Got it through the Etsy before closed the page. They're making a site right now, should be up soon

[empty plover]

Ahh I see, yea I Dmed the guy the site is going to be up within the next week he said

Lmk how you like it!

[dusk dagger]

Gonna try it out in a few, I'll let you know!

[sacred glacier]

I farted

[steep raven]

Where did you get it? I still cant find it. The website still isnt up. I got this one for now until i can get that Tomahawk. Looks to be the best one in my opinion

[dusk dagger]

Managed to grab it before they took down the Etsy page

[steep raven]

Nice! I cant wait for it to become available again. I do like this Magni Stock. But that Tomahawk seems perfect for this game

[forest girder]

what is this foul wizardry

[tiny ember]

i ordered the magni stock a couple days ago you got any major complaints? wanna know if i made a good choice lmfao

[steep raven]

Only played a few hours with it so far, but i like it. It definitely made a huge difference in skill and is comfortable. Ill be posting here the second it breaks for reference of durability.. Lol

[tiny ember]

alright thanks for your response! 😄

[steep raven]

@tiny ember But as far as quality, it is very light, yet feels sturdy. Definitely adjustable to your comfort level. The controller grips fit nice and feel nice in the hands. The magnets are strong as hell. Lol. I did have to make slight adjustments in game as well to get it to line up with my natural line of site, but it wasnt hard. All in all, i like it so far. No complaints

[tiny ember]

thats nice to hear the magnistock was really my only option since everything else was very expensive or had high delivery costs so im very glad to hear you're having a good experience

[light oriole]

I have this one

[steep raven]

Same reason i got it as well. It also had the quickest shipping time to my house since im impatient. Lol. I still plan to buy and try others though.

[steep raven]

Hows it held up for ya thus far?

[light oriole]

Very good

[steep raven]

Nice. Good to hear. Im not well versed in 3d printing material, so i wasnt sure how well the plastics would hold up.

[light oriole]

I thought that at first too

[sage girder]

Damn I just got the gun store to lvl 2 lol. Won't be playing with that nice sniper this season

[mortal parcel]

Where is my long promised gunstock calibration

[royal wagon]

in the next patch

[mortal parcel]

Which was supposed to be today no?

[royal wagon]

#📢・announcements (the lack of announcements means it hasnt started yet)

probably not today, but soon, tomorrow or friday

[mortal parcel]

So maybe later today?

Oh ok

I hope so I’ve been mainly waiting for this

[queen badger]

Not today no
Still going through testing

[forest girder]

But this week?

[queen badger]

When is ready would be the best answer.

[forest girder]

Alright i really hope its this week cuz that was promised

[queen badger]

We'll announce it when we have a fixed date. Probably when ready to patch. We'll make an announcement if we can't hit this week. For now it's still a possibility.

Not sure it was promised... it was mentioned.

[forest girder]

#🔫・vr-gunstock-chat message

Id say promised

Then that was delayed until this week

[wild ruin]

More time to buy FF on Quest

[pure crown]

Forcetube and stock arrived yesterday, shipped on Friday. Feels great, more rigid than any other stock I've used, high quality and incredibly adjustable. Not sure if I'll run into an issue using the Forcetube for GoT through Steam VR, since it doesn't work well when launched in Steam. But so far have tested it really briefly on the Quest version and it feels great, really immersive

[wild ruin]

Should work fine all versions on all storefronts/platforms use openxr api

Make sure to charge the forcetube before use it arrives on low charge

[pure crown]

Awesome. Haven't had a chance to try just noticed in the setup guide mentioning having to launch your games in the Steam VR mode

Charged it for 8 hours, went on charge about 10 seconds after DHL dropped it at my door 🙂

Enjoy

[wild ruin]

That's for games without native integration

For use with companion app

[pure crown]

I will! The feeling of emptying an AK magazine while feeling the kick... amazing 🙂

[queen badger]

I'd say mentioned. Don't add words where they're not.
He did said it would be in this week's patch. But if this week's patch is delayed, then it will be in whenever it arrive.

[forest girder]

Yeah wont argue anymore, just a bit dissapointing

[queen badger]

It is in the patch, patch will come. But we'll test it as much as it needs to be tested and fix what needs to be fixed. A delayed patch is better than a broken game. Believe me. We're doing our best to deliver a stable update.
We want you all to be able to enjoy it without constant crashing or major bugs.

[hollow yew]

Thanks Mikael. We love you

[queen badger]

love all of you too!

[wild ruin]

Any 'delay' is fine if it means spoons don't break the game again 😛

[queen badger]

oh I'm sure he will 😂

[wild ruin]

Where there's a will there's a way

[hearty basin]

I agree that waiting for a stable patch is the better way of doing things although phrasing does matter and that would have been better said “Gunstock Calibration will be included in the next patch” There’s a reason most devs don’t specify date because someone will always be unhappy when things fall though.

[heady umbra]

Shout out Kobra VR this gunstock is amazing for this game 🔥🔥

[hearty basin]

How does it work with some of the low profile iron sights like the sks ?

[bright pelican]

No lol my pleasure is killing dupers

I play the game like it is supposed to be played

[elfin wadi]

any one know of a supper simple 3D printed gun stock files?

[heady umbra]

Terrible with the SKS absolutely terrible ngl but all others that I've come across I haven't had a issue with

And long shots are sooo nice and easy now 😂 I was tearing it up with the M4 and opsks last night

[small fable]

i use this gun stock easy to print,https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4651978

[elfin wadi]

Thanks!

[small fable]

print the grip v6.stl

[hearty basin]

sounds like the same issues the Senlaki has, i’m building a bowk stock again because it’s been my favorite i’ve used. Always wanted to try a pro tube or modus but when i have my own 3d printer i find it hard justifying the cost.

[heady umbra]

It's not the gunstock it's the games mechanics , it's angled more to your chest than it is to your shoulder , Wich makes it weird to use at first , soon as they make it to where you can change the gun angles and not just wrist angle I think everything and everyone would be happy

[obtuse idol]

Anybody else use their left arm as a gunstock? I feel like a wonky archer.

[hearty basin]

i’m excited for calibration, i’m just not a huge fan of the magnets and weight of the senlaki, i enjoyed the bowk when i built it a while back but gave it away when i quit VR. Only got back into VR for GoT. Highly recommend the bowk stocks.

[split bronze]

I think this may be one of the most brilliant simplistic DIY designs I've seen in this channel. How do you find that size cup in terms of "finding" it when you want to ADS? If you had to remake it would you make the cup bigger?

[barren spire]

The cup size is perfect. It is needed only in case you are off an inch or so as it guides the tube right into the other tube.

I also have a squre cut out of the large tube that forces the main habd tube to line up straight when inserting it and prevent the front tube from rotating when adsing.

[split bronze]

You are a genius man, I was thinking about some shape like that. If you had any close up pics of that I would immensely appreciate it. The simplicity of this design is genius 👌

[barren spire]

Thanks!!

I will send you some photos and a video of how it all works when i get home tonight. And answer any qusetions you have if you want to build something similar

[obsidian forge]

I use a modified variant of that gunstock https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4709000

harder to print but it was the first that caught my eye

[small fable]

its looks good, i have to try this

You're offering something above and beyond, I truly appreciate it. Thank you.

We need a Pinned pro/con list of gunstocks per controller. I feel like ive spent more time looking at stocks online than playing

[surreal quarry]

There’s a pinned message with a couple

[ember estuary]

I guess I just want some anecdotal pros/cons of each (for the index) but im sure others are wondering as well. Things such as over or under mounted for example im sure is different based on the geometry of the controller

I have a 3d printing company so I feel silly buying one considering they are like 75-100 bucks each online but that also means I need to design something and eventually convenience wins out.

The 3d printing options for the INDEX seem to be lacking

[ember estuary]

Im about to print this I'll let you know

[lofty gorge]

💯 sorry just catching up in chat lmao

how you liking it

[lofty gorge]

should try mamut next 🙂 or @lapis vine has a Gstock which was my first and i still use when changing batteries out for friends to use when they try the headset out

[surreal quarry]

Hey

[ember wasp]

Has anybody made any modifications for a little more comfort/length to their istock? Just need some ideas

[dusk dagger]

Mind DMing me a link if you have them on hand?

[pliant stag]

Funny enough I only played the one time with it and I haven’t had time to play since. Hopefully will get on this weekend. Need to get used to it and the gunstock calibration update should be big

[crimson lichen]

I have this one 3d printed https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4257873
It is pretty nice and uses magnets to keep the controllers in place and release them. I have tried about 10 weapons so far though with great success. Your IRL aim is a little high vs in game aim with some guns where you grip the side of the handguard such as the m4 without a foregrip. MP-40 is slightly annoying because the mag is right in line with the end and sometimes tries to magnetize. The ability to have the controllers snap into place easily for quickly grabbing along with built in holes for attaching a rope to act as a sling for fully releasing the stock make up for some inconveniences though IMO

[lofty gorge]

ah yea i feel that, finding time to get on has been rough for me too and yea im looking forward to that gunstock calibration especially when Scott said it will be like Contractors, they have a great one

[lofty gorge]

sure, i dont know if Ring is still making em but i can ask him and the Mamut one for sure
