To have a little bit of wobble between your collapsible stock and the tube? I had a Car-15 style stock on my AR. I've been wanting to upgrade to an M4 style stock so recently at a gunshow I bought one. It's not alot of wobble, just seems like it may be a little more than I had with the original stock that came with it. Just wondering. Thanx.

Wiggle on those type of stock is normal.

If your receiver extention/buffer tube Mil and the stock is comercial, then there will be more wobble. If the stock is well used there will be more wobble. Eventually they will wobble more than when they were new.

It's completely normal for there to be some slop between the stock and the tube, even with the "right" stock on the "right" tube (commercial vs. Mil-Spec diameters). This slop could be small or distractingly large, and for those of us with facial hair, it can also grab whiskers. A simple fix for both the noticeable wiggle and the hair catching is to place a segment of bicycle inner tube over the front end of the stock.

My SP-1 carbine is super tight no wobble. My A-2 carbine has a little wobble. My old Oly CAR-15 was very wobbly.

As has been stated, a little wobble is normal. Sometimes you get lucky with the tolerances and there is very little wobble. Sometimes you're not so lucky and you get extra wobble.
