I did try to google that, but it came up with a bunch of vague references to extending the Retaliator stock's overall length. I think what BigS is referring to is the incompatibility of most N-Strike shoulder stocks with the Vortex series blasters.

As I understand it, Nerf stocks from the Recon, Retaliator, Raider, and AlphaTrooper actually mate with Vortex blasters, but the locking mech does not engage properly. As a result, the non-Vortex stocks are prone to slip off at the most inconvenient times. Then again, vodka might be playing an important part in my misunderstanding of the situation.

What I'm trying to say BigS is there's a problem with the notch in the butt of the Vortex. Clearly the tab in the N-Strike stocks isn't engaging at the same depth as the tab in the Vortex stocks. Maybe you could use a Dremel or a saw blade to extend or create a new set of notches so that N-Strike stocks will clip on correctly to the Vortex blaster. I'm positive it's an alignment thing.
