Folding? So whats going to happen to your Buffer Spring?  As for collapsing Stocks, I would go with the MagPul CTR, M93B and eventually the UBR. They are the Best IMO. Rainier Arms Nathan |

Even a gas piston upper needs a buffer or extension tube to work unless its a Z&M Weapons made upper that is a piston with direct gas assist..they also sell the folding stocks.The bolt carriers in those uppers are half the legnth of whats in a standard AR.

Your Colt Std. Car stock is one of the best out there. Mil speck buffer tube. Best for std. fit and finsh. But If you want a "Bling" Type stock. The Sopmod crane clone form LMT is the best. Followed bye the CTR from Magpull. Price will run you from $90-$200 or so for the LMT. Your buffer tube Rec. Extension. Is mil speck so you can also run a Vltor type stock. Also nice. I have 2 Sopmod and 2 CTR plus 3 Colt stocks and had a Vltor and I personaly love the Sopmod form crane best for cheak weald. But the CTR lock up the tightest No rattle etc.

Okay, my error.
I was inter-changing collapsable and folder. You guys got me. Anything I should be looking for? Rock River any good? |

Look for a milspec receiver extension. I'm going to replace the one on my Bushmaster. They come with a non-spec tube.
I'll probably go with a Colt stock for now; hopefully I can find a two-position tube. I have the old Bushmaster aluminum stock, and it's kinda rattly. Not looking for the Bling at this time. |

Lemme get this straight. You want an RRA Collapsable stock for your Colt? The LMT SOPMOD has the best cheekweld, no contest. Just make sure you get a mil-spec diameter receiver extension (aka stock tube). That will allow you to experiment with only the best collapsable stocks out on the market. HS1 |

My favorites are a standard Millspec Collapsible stock and get a CA Saddle for it or just get the Vltor Modstock. |

You already have a good 4 position Mil-Spec type buffer tube on your Colt if it's a carbine, just get a CMT/ Stag 6 position Mil-Spec type tube if you would like more adjustment.
Other good buffer tubes are the 5 position Vltor which have a better black finish and LMT 6 pos gray color. Here are some good stock choices: Vltor Modstock CAR and also club foot model LMT SOPMOD Magpul CTR (& UBR when available, maybe next month?)
