Is Essential Arms Co still around?  

Looking for an aluminum stock for a retro build, but keep getting voice mail.  Left message but no response.  Thanks

Stock is loose on mil buffer tube. It fits well on a commercial diameter tube.

I had a tonys customs aluminum CAR  stock. It was nice. And was also loose. I added a couple thin strips of soft Velcro inside the stock and tightened it up.

EA Arms is alive and well. I ordered a Colt clone carbine stock after Thanksgiving.

I got the impression that the owner is working with little or no help: he answers the phone and does many other things as well.

BTW, the stock looks good. They no longer ship Colt tubes and instead ship a mil spec 4 posistion dark gray tube with blued castle nut and parked end plate. The stock fits the tube well.

The two position buffer tubes that came with these are Colt?

They had a decent supply of them in the past and would ship them with the mil spec stocks. That supply is gone now and they ship a mil spec 4 position tube with the mil spec stocks. These tubes are not Colt grey.

I just ordered a retro stock from EA with 2 position tube. They told me they are at plating right now and should be ready to ship in 2 to 3 weeks.

I bought some essential lowers during one of the panic buy eras, and they are really nicely made

hope they are doing well

I've been calling for days, left numerous voice mails trying to give him some money. No response yet.

For those of you who have gotten through, what's the secret? Any particular time of day that works best?

Interesting. I've called 17 times in the past two weeks, leaving three messages - including a message this morning at 9 am. No response.

At least I know he's returning some calls...

He's afraid of you and your droogies. Not wanting any of the ole in and out or ultra violence.

There's no way he could "see" my mascara via voice mail!

And who doesn't like a bit of the old in-out, in-out?
