Amendment: Going rate for an M231 stock? thinking of dumping it.

I believe I have an original M231 stock, any insight on the buffer spring length?

Is the buffer tube and actual buffer unobtanium?

Was thinking of doing some frankenbuild.

They functioned in an entirely different way.  

The carrier was similar, but rather than a hammer, there was a striker that rode in the back and took place of the buffer, and then there were nested springs that shoved that forward.

If you're intent on going completely correct, it'll take a lot of doing.  Parts are near-unobtanium.  I know a couple of the buffer tubes/caps have made the rounds.  I have a tube, but no cap for it.  The springs are likely unicorn beaks, at this point.  I've seen a carrier/striker set go a few years ago.

Most of us just have one of JHud's kits, which use a spring of his own manufacture, as well as a chopped down buffer.

Edit: For whatever it's worth, Augee has a fantastic, photo intensive teardown of a real M231 that he had in his unit, here: https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_123/459672_M231_Firing_Port_Weapon_Review________56K_MASSACRE______________.html

There are kits in the EE right now here.

I don't have any affiliation with the seller, and haven't looked at those at all.  I just paid for some handguards though.

I built this little beast out of one thanks to jhud

I had an original stock block with a repro stock body but missing a few pieces. I got in touch with him and he squared me away with setup to run .223 or 9mm. It is very nice quality and while not cheap it's not outrageous either and he's the only show in town.

You have to use an A1 lower or have the stock modified as well or it will rub on the reinforcement.

Amending my OP, whats the going rate for an original M231 stock? Probably going to dump it on the EE.

You've gotta ask that in the Official Appraisals thread, I'm afraid.
