As in 16” barrel with an M16 style fixed stock. (or any other barrel length less than 20”)
 I’ve seen others with that set up before, but I haven’t seen a pic thread dedicated to it. If there is, please direct me there. If there isn’t, let’s start one. This is the first rifle I’ve put together in that configuration. I tried a few new (to me) things, the most obvious being the mating of a 16 inch barreled upper with a fixed stock A2 lower. I’m lovin’ it. First time I’ve used a RDS mounted any higher than a lower 1/3 co-witness. The slight increase in height is perfect for this rifle and helps alleviate the annoying A2 stock GONNNGGG!!! felt with every shot fired. And it is mounted to a bombproof fixed A2 sight/riser. First time I’ve ever rattle canned one of my rifles. I’m diggin’ it. First time I have ever put FDE furniture on an ODG rifle. I’ve wanted to ever since I saw some old HK 416s issued that way. Looked a little weird to me at first, but it has definitely grown on me. I think I’ll call the color scheme 416 camo  First time I have ever mounted a light that wasn’t originally made to be mounted on a weapon. (1,000 Lumen Surefire P3X Fury in a basic GG&G mount) It’s a little long, but fits perfectly on this pig. Damn sure on the hefty side, but I think it’s pretty groovy overall.

I have only one with a fixed stock. I hate it.
I am getting ready to rip this one apart this weekend, and get rid of the fixed stock. I tried to like it, but I need a CAR on this thing. I also am not digging the RAS, so off they all go to the EE. I have a set of skinnies, and a spare CAR to make it perfect. It is actually a Colt 14.5" pinned 6921, so technically 16", you have to give me a pass!

The only other AR I have with a fixed stock is my FN Military Collector M16. Fixed stocks work OK for me because I am 6’ and slender with long arms and don’t wear body armor, but it still would never be my go-to rifle. A collapsible stock will always reign supreme in usability for me, but I wanted to build something different. |

I always preferred fixed stocks for my ARs. Though it seems I've gotten rid of all my photos of my past builds except the last setup for my Dissipator before I parted it out:
 Used to be more retro with a BRN-10 handguard on there, but fit on those was iffy, so I swapped them out for the Magpuls. Like them a lot more. |

Fixed stocks are the best. Go to blaster is a 14.5" P&W with a fixed stock (seems to be a trend in this thread already).

This is my favorite AR. I have a second lower and will be getting the same upper, probably fixed sights on that. I have a set of Daniel Defenses, somewhere...
 KP15, PSA 16" pencil barrel upper, Leupold 2.5x20 in an Aero mount, Streamlight Polytac in an Odin Works mount. Six pounds before the sling and QD mount added. Ignore the other fixed stock gun.  Attached File Attached File |

I haven't shot this one much at all. A2 kit, Griffin lower, 16" PSA upper, Vortex Razor HD LH 2-10, Leupold mount. It seems to have some feeding issues, I'm considering re-barreling it. I have a 20" Gunner that'll get the scope and lower with a 2 stage trigger. Any recs on lightweight rifle buffer stocks? I ordered 2 of the stock kits, not remembering how much they weigh.

I used to blow through at least 100-200 rounds of 5.56 at most range visits. Nowadays, it’s a couple of magazines at most, then I switch to one of my AR-22s before heading over to the pistol lanes.

Quote HistoryQuoted: @spyderboy03 Good looking rifle - I like the different earthy shades. What colors are those on the receivers, rail and furniture? Thanks! The rail is Geissele DDC annodize, the receivers are Brownell's Alum-Hyde II Magpul FDE, and the furniture is all Magpul ODG. ETA: I've got a pistol build that was cerakoted in FDE (I think Magpul), and it is really close to this rail. The receivers came out a lot lighter than I was expecting based on pictures and videos I found while trying to decide between it and Coyote. I wasn't sure if I liked it initially, but it is growing on me. |

I bought my first rifle when Billy Bob Clinton said AR 15's were too dangerous because of all those evil features. Bushmaster XM15 E2S Shorty AK. Pinned and welded AK compensator, neutered bayonet lug, fixed A2 stock, and a 30 round magazine that was cut down and riveted back together with a block to make it only hold 10 rounds.
A few years ago I sold the barrel to somebody in the Peoples Republic of California, and installed an adjustable stock and carbine barrel. Recently I purchased an 18" mid length gas barrel, and will be re-assembling all the fixed stock goodness. .

OP, I like your build. I don't have a fixed stock AR of any barrel length, but can see benefit in certain situations over collapsible stocks. Love its simplicity. I have many bolt guns and other rifles, none with adjustable stocks and have never seen the need for adjustment. Some have built in LOP options, but its a one time setting and done.
I have a precision 16" Recc-style AR that could probably benefit from a fixed stock, for example. Its running a Magpul ACS, but it is always locked in the same place. I do like the wide, rounded comb on the ACS. A fixed stock like yours, but with a similar comb for scope use would be nice. Maybe the new Magpul PRS Lite? I know, these don't look like a standard issue A1 or A2 fixed stock, though. It gets adjusted for LOP and comb height one time and then bolted. Not adjustable without tools. Might not meet your criteria. Thanks for sharing. |

The others are an M16A4, two AK-47s, an FNH SPR A3G, a Winchester .22 lever action & a Winchester Defender 12 gauge. Everything else has adjustable stocks or are bullpups (I guess bullpup could be considered fixed too). I’m still enjoying this build quite a bit. This rifle is a shooter, one of my more accurate uppers. But, after a couple of range trips, there’s no denying it’s a heavy mofo. Not ideal for offhand shooting. I’ve decided to keep it as kind of a DMR - excellent for shooting from a bench. Pic Thread (current setup):     |
