Nice gun. Keep your eye out for a proper N1 stock and optic.

Man, this site keeps my wallet nice and skinny. I'll keep searching for a good deal on an N1. Keeping in mind this build is for the 95-02 era, would the correct optic be an Aimpoint with Wilcox mount, or would it be a specific variation of the Trijicon Acog?

Looking for a 6 pos 7075 buffer tube, possibly with spring and buffer if anyone has a plug on one that can be bought with PP.

Tigwelder1971- Thanks for the lead! So what indicated to you off that my stock was in fact a repop of the N1? Is it the fact that it is missing the two support ribs on each side by the base of the buffer tube or what?

In addition to the missing ribs...the latch profile, sling cutout shape/location, and the latch profile. Also, no "flange" at bottom of sloped portion. Yours is open. I've been through ~5 repops searching for "the" stocks for a few of mine, only reason it jumped out at me. Eta pic: For comparison ....

Another way to ID a Colt CAR buttstock....
They will always show 3 mold circles on the stock body, at times faint, but always present:

Wow, did not realize there were so many differences. Have you seen these by m&a? They seem to fit the bill. Obviously not authentic N1 but might be a close second at the price point.

That stock from Brownells looks pretty nice, not to bad on price. Always nice buying from a reputable source. Maybe I'll just keep watch on the parts/used lower sections of the EE and wait until I find an authentic one for $75-ish, who knows.. Buy Once Cry Once sorta thing.

I have one of the CAR reproduction stocks on the way. Seller stated it's not branded or N marked. Here's the pic that was on his TS post.

wissota4 I like the waffle stock, but the feel and look of the N1 style stock is just classic. I guess the same could be argued for the waffle stock. Both perform excellent for their intended purpose, so I guess it just comes down to personal preference. Doesn't hurt to have a spare cage code colt waffle stock laying around for a rainy day build. I'll add it to my exponential list of things to buy...

All of the waffle stocks I have come across have terrible tolerance on mil-spec buffer tubes. So loose you would think they were made for commercial buffer tubes.

"One more beer won't hurt" couldn't agree more.
I'll pick up a colt or lmt next time I see one for a decent price on the EE. All of mine have been run of the mill S&W, PSA and other various cheapo's. I had assumed they were all produced by a few vendors(similar to forged uppers) with the only difference being the logos cast into them. |

No work means a great time for spring cleaning and I was able to cobble this together with random box finds at the house.
Upper: Colt raised C / raised cardinal, Colt BCG Barrel: Colt 14.5” barrel with KAC M4QD, ADCO spacer p/w’d. The spacer is amazing by the way and this setup still allows an M9 bayonet to be fixed securely, for any future people wondering that. Rail: KAC RAS / VFG Sights: Aimpoint M68 w/ QRP mount, Matech BUIS Lower: Colt ‘M4 CARBINE’ lower w/4 pos tube, H buffer, Colt FCG, grip. I took the N1 stock off my 727, and the SOPMOD off my Mk18 to try but for the life of me cannot decide which direction to go for this build. The SOPMOD is way more balanced even with no junk hanging off the rail. At most I will add an M3x. The N1 looks so skinny with the girthy RAS. I guess I could convince myself to toss an M3x on and then have the SOPMOD for batt storage like I do on the 18? Decisions, decisions, okay back to job hunting!
