I like my 6 position collapsible just fine. I wish I had a CTR though.

CTR or SOPMOD. I have SOPMODs on both of my carbines; one is an M4gery the other is a mid-length. Place a vertical fore grip on the handguards or rails. It will definitely help with balance.

CTR all the way. I does not make a midlength nose heavy, IMO. I have one on my 20" AR, and it's not nose heavy, either.

I have a ctr on my lw midlength and it is perfect.

I have a CTR on my gov profile 14.5" middy and it's fine.
I could have probably done fine with a CAR stock (lighter and cheaper). That's what's going on my next build, anyway. ETA: I used to run an old M16A1 (like the one posted above) on my middy, but things seem much faster (more handy) with the CTR. |

A midlength cant weigh much more than a m4 can it?

Personally, I like CTRs or SOPMODs for carbines, SOPMODs or M93/UBR for middys and SOPMOD or UBR or A2 for anything longer then 18"

This will definitely NOT be the popular choice but these stocks are very solid. This is my Rock River Middy.
Stock is an ACE ARFX

Just to add...it's a Sabre Middy with a DD 9.0" light rail.

I have the ACE ARFX on my Middy as well. For me, it's the perfect length and balance. I love it. |

I've used an A1 and a ACE adjustable on my midlength, both feel great. I prefer the A1.

+1 - For balance, both visually and weight wise, I found an A1 length stock is the best choice for a 16" middy. If I had to or needed to have a collapsible stock, it would be with a UBR because of its added weight and fixed stock like consistent cheek weld. I do love the CTR stock and have a couple of them but not for a 16" middy. Makes the weapon way too out of balance (front heavy) for my tastes. I'll take an 8lb balanced rifle over a 7-7.5lb front heavy rifle any day. |

 VLTOR EMOD stock   EMOD stock on my midlength with 9" FF rails For midlength with rails I would suggest the Vltor EMOD, I've tried my CTR on my midlength and it felt too front heavy, the EMOD or any heavier stock should balance it out better. |

I agree about the emod. I prefer those to the CTR, which I tend to run on my 16" and 14.5" pinned carbines.

I have the same stock on my 24" SUM rifle, i love it. So much that I got a stubby version for my next build. My middy wears a M93A2 stock in OD |

Another vote for the ACE ARFX. Who cares what's popular or not. Most retractable stocks sold are purchased for their "tacti-cool" feature, nothing else.

They look good, and also balance good. +1. |

Other than the FH, that is exactly how I want my next build to be. Very nice. |

Sherluk has complete A1 buttstocks. (They're a listed source in the Retro Forum)

Very helpful for the OP i'm sure. It all depends upon whether you want a fixed or collapsable and your shooting style. What length of pull are you looking for? I think the Vltor Emod is a great stock for just about any AR out there. Edit to add- I wish Magpul still made the 93, haven't handled a UBR yet but the 93 was/is my favorite for ANY configuration. |

I like the CTR, but I really like the balance of the UBR on my 16" midlength. Even though its heavier, it just feels better to me.

Im using a LMT M4 type stock. It works fine.

I may have to check out the Emod. I have a "regular" VLTOR on my LMT M4gery and it's nice and solid. FWIW, I do want a collapsable stock, and I normally shoot NTCH. |

I don't know if anyone other than Cav Arms is currently making A1 stocks, but you will get a quality piece from Cav and you have your pick of colors |

My experience has shown me the exact same thing. I run an E-mod on my mid-length as well and it's the perfect balance for me. |

Sounds like an Emod would be perfect. Do I see one in your future...... |

What about a SOPMOD?
|

Posted: 10/17/2008 5:13:02 AM EDT

Had a CTR, tried an A2 and never went back. Just seems to balance a little bit better for me, personally. Especially after the railed FF went on. |
|
|

Posted: 10/17/2008 5:26:25 AM EDT

Not a fan of the A2. I thought I read somewhere that the DD middy lite rail makes it lighter than if I had "regular" HG's. |

UBR or if money is an issue, EMod

I'd love to put UBRs on my ARs but hell for the cost of a few of those your in "New Gun" territory...makes it hard for me. Personally, I'd go to AIM surplus and get a few of their CMMG mil spec buffer assemblies and a couple of Magpul MOEs. Nice setup and won't break the bank.

It all depends on your barrel, rails and accessories you have on your rifle.
I got a CMMG LW with DD Lite 9. Tried the UBR on it and it felt rear heavy. Shouldnt be a major problem though. But going to try a CTR on it and see if i like it better. |

I'm a big fan of the Sully stock, they're a good compromise between a collapsible stock and a the A1 stock imo.
I plan on getting one for a KISS build I'm hoping to make in the near future. |

How much does the Sully stock weigh? I've always been intrigued by them.
|
|
|
|
Posted: 10/17/2008 11:24:57 PM EDT
[#44]
According to this site...... groups.msn.com/TheMarylandAR15ShootersSite/stocks.msnw The Sully stock weighs 17.75oz which does not include receiver extension nor CAR buffer which adds 8oz. The stock also comes with an optional extension which weighs 7oz. |

+1 on the EMod. Used one on my 16" BCM midlength w/ troy rail and a light/vfg setup and she balances just right... |
