Carbine stocks

[Timfoilhat]

I've got a milspec carbine buffer tube. I need a new stock. I want A2 stock length in either a fixed or telescoping stock that installs on existing tube.
What should I look at? The cheaper the better.

Any specific features you want? Basic M4 stock can be had under $20 and will extend to 13.xx" LOP.

Pretty sure this one can be made A2 length.

So a basic M4 stock grabs goatee. Trying to avoid that. A Magpul UBR telescopes, but not on the tube...just it uses it's own tube and is way over budget.

That could work.

Magpul MOE Fixed Stock? I've got a few and they're decent for the price. Rock solid too.

Well that ain't no good then lol. It always felt the same as an A2 for me but I never measured it.

It's 12% off day at Primary Arms. Saved $5 on the Strike Industries model @Exspiravit pointed me to! Thanks!

ETA: Sorry didn’t read the previous post saying you had found something.

I have found that a B5 sopmod or bravo are the least grabby on beards for me. They also seem to be a bit longer that some other common stocks. If you want to keep it cheap there are some sopmod knockoffs out there that are dimensionally the same not quite the same level of quality (I.e., no o-rings on the storage tubes). I have one of the knockoffs on this rimfire ar and it’s pretty decent for the price I paid. It was previously on my ar10 so should be sturdy enough for whatever your intended purpose is.

I put a b5 on my dad's rifle and it feels great. I run a bcm sopmod stock very similar shape to the b5 but a more solid lockup. They pricey though.

Post some pics of the setup after you spray paint it @Timfoilhat

They are. I found this knockoff for less than $25. Just google searched it.

Let me know how that works out, I've been curious about that particular stock.

No paint on this one. It's going to be boring black with just a stainless PSA barrel for flash.

I installed it today. Exactly the same length as my A2 stock. Top edge doesn't grab facial hair. Win!
