I have seen Tony's stocks at a gun show.... Going to cost a little more but I would recommend Essential Arms (link) instead (C2) ^^^...still cheaper than a real Colt...look better than Tony's |

Verses starting a new thread, I thought see if I could get some way in here.
I have an EA and I'm very please with it. I have been wanting an original Colt for another build and watch this stock right up to end of auction but failed to pull the trigger. I was torn weather it was an original colt or an EA. Something about the coating just does look the same as a Colt. What's the hives thought? Did I let an original colt slip through the cracks for $200? After emails with the seller, he would not stand behind the auction and give a guarantee for it to be a colt. (I think that's what cause my hesitation. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=497356548 |

The real deal looks like it has less metal and more coating. |

This is kinda retro at least the look. Has anyone ever gotten one of these? http://www.tonyscustomsllc.com/product/c-a-r-stock-aluminum/ I am just wondering about it. Don't have the funds available for the real Mccoy always wanted one but they go up and up in auctions. I just want an honest opinion before spending $100. I have one of these that I like real well. Be advised they ship with a mil-spec tube but are really cut for a commercial tube. The mil-spec tube can work but the stock is very loose. There are commercial diameter tubes out there that are mil-spec length and work with this stock (I luckily had one in the parts box). It is solid and well made. |

Quote HistoryI have one; it is a fiberlite type stock, not aluminum as in the subject of this thread. But it is a very nice quality fiberlite clone, mil-spec diameter, and inexpensive. (I just checked it; It fits snug on a mil-spec tube; a commercial tube will not go in at all) I recommend the M&A to anyone looking for a fiberlite clone. |
