deaner Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 How much of a difference is there between reds and bastard stock? They are both 5/16" CRS so I'm thinking they are similar, but I've never tried the bastard stuff yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anuwbius Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 FBBC is definitely harder, at least IMO. Although I do believe this is general consensus. I dont remember the percentage difference (i think it was 5 0r 15% but dont hold me to that) but I am pretty sure that it is generally felt that the FBBC stock is comparable to reds at half an inch's length. That is, a 7" FBBC = 6.5" Red, 6.5" FBBC = 6" red and so on. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtime Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I dont know if i got like someSUPER fbbc stock or what, but i noticed a hughe diffrence. I can get a red down in under 10 seconds, and the fbbc took about a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handgripperman Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I think they're pretty close. But the fbbc is a bit harder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Both stocks vary, as does pretty much all steel. I have noticed that some of the "easier" FBBC is almost identical to some of the "tougher" Reds. But yes, as a general rule the FBBC is going to be in the neighborhood of 5% tougher.
