Ignore the big bloated handguards on the middy they are coming off. The first time I saw a mid-length with a rifle stock, I knew I had to build one.

Thanks, it's funny how I couldn't wait to ditch my carry handle uppers to have a flat-top and longer forearms etc. After reading threads here and on the Retro pages I had to go back to where I started. I still have one or two flat-tops but I really like my handles. The middy has a Fulton A1 stock on it and it shoulders like a champ.

They originally come with fixed stocks. Slapped on a collapsible stock from a LE6920, 6 postion buffer tube, and the fat M4 style handguards. I replaced the goofy looking shroud type flashhider in the picture and put on the original A2 bird cage style
