Both good questions that I don't have immediate answers for.
The AR0113T receiver extension used in the Tactical Stock is a short version of theAR0113B rifle receiver extension, but I don't remember if it's the same material. I'll have to check with Engineering on that and get back to you.
GRSC used to make an A1 single loop receiver endplate, which IIRC worked with the Tactical Stock. I don't believe that kit is available from them any longer. We have modified the A2 version that we carry (AR0144A) a couple of times...the screw has to be replaced with a customized A2 buttstock screw, and the stock spacer has to be reduced in thickness to approximately that of the endplate.
