My first AR15, a pre-ban collapsible stock M4 clone, was sold several years ago to fund another purchase. Recently, I purchased an upper and lower and used some old parts to cobble them together. I was initially going to replace the fixed stock with a collapsible one, but I actually have come to appreciate the balance and stability of the the current one.
While looking through this forum, it's been a challenge to find others running a similar setup. I'd love to see some.

I prefer a fixed stock carbine. I went the CavArms route for mine.

These are my two test mules, affectionately known as 'Click' and 'Clack'
They are old skool Rock River lowers with Colt internals, uppers, and furniture. |

I like a Sully on mine...it brings the balance point back, making it swing a lot better.

No shortage of fixed butts in my harem. Fact is the only carbine that's still got her slider is the 6520LE Colt.....which along with the A2 rifle are
the two finest ARs ever assembled on this planet !

I like the die-hard simplicity of a simple fixed stock, but I prefer the LOP of the carbine stock in the 2-from closed position. I've considered a Sully, but the length is just a little too short and where's the QD sling points?

It's a Colt 16" pencil barrel and Colt FA BCG in NoDak Spud A1 upper and lower receivers with a Geissele SSA trigger and A1 furniture (triangular carbine handguards from Tony's Customs) - so, basically a 6520 in retro drag. One of my favorites. |

I like the feel of the rifle stocks but appreciate the adjustable stocks. It's much easier for my kids to shoot my carbines when I can shorten up the LOP.

I've been eyeing a Sully but how short is it? I know it may sound odd but I never thought I'd like the collapsing stocks now I have one.......
First started with it two clicks out shot it a bit and then went to one click-now? I have it all the way closed and like it that way! and I'm 6'0 with longish arms  so is the Sully as short as a fully closed collapsing type? 'cos if it's not I may not like it too much.

I love my Sully Stock. It's comparable to a collapsible pulled out one notch. His site says the LOP is 8 inches. He also offers an optional +1 inch buttplate.

Sorry I've got no pick of my favorite former Colt model R6530 Sporter Lightweight carbine.
The model R6530 was a pre ban, blue label, have a lightweight pencil 16" carbine gas system barrel, no bayonet lug, A2 fixed carry handle upper and A1 style lower receiver. I like its A1 length but A2 style solid stock, rifle buffer and it was my most reliable carbine, never had a FTF with that one. |

I've seen another post in the Defensive Edge pages where the guy got a Grail from Sully with two cups installed on the side; one up close to the receiver and one closer to the buttplate. Otherwise, I've recently seen this option. Here's where I put mine...

I have a Ciener .22 kit and I was considering using a Cav Arms lower to make a lightweight dedicated .22 carbine.

No sir. I've got an A2 stock on my CMMG Middy. First AR. Honestly never cared for 6 position stocks much. I recently built a lower and put a Magpul MOE on it. I do really like it. Maybe I'm starting to come around.

While it handled fine I never liked the way my carbine with fixed A2 stock looked.
Here's pics before and after I switched to a middie upper and ARFX fixed stock.
