Ok now that I've got my pre-ban Colt AR who makes the best collapsible stock and what can I expect to pay for one?  I'm sure this has been done before so my appologies in advance.

You might look into the Vltor and the Magpul stocks.Both are much more superior than standard collapsible stocks.There's a couple threads on them right now.

I like the looks of the ones from Brownells the best but what would be better, aluminum or synthetic?  What does the military use?

back in the day, the original's were alum. but now all current mil M4's us the synthetic. the synthetic it lighter and prob just as durable as the alum. I carried one for a few years in the army and never had a problem with them

Aluminum rattles.  It is the absolute worst stock design.  Nice to see you asked what the best stock was and ignored the best stocks (VLTOR and Magpul) and went right into considering the worst collapsing stock made. [rolleyes]

Get the plastic one.  Aluminum will set off metal detectors.

WHOAAAAAAAA...!! hold on there a minute !!!!!!!!

just in case you folks don't know this, the owner of "ESSENTIAL ARMS" is still in business & he makes most of the "slider" stocks the major mfgrs. use on their guns, he makes the "original" plastic coated stock that Colt once used.., but only when he gets an order that makes it profitable to produce , he also makes fixed stocks & handguards..., i talked to the owner a few months ago about getting just the slider portion, as mine is dinged up around the sling slot, he does about 50 of these once a year.....

i found his add in SGN several months ago, it was just a small 4 or 5 liner, haven't seen it since, i'll have to dig out my old phone bills to find his phone #..., he did have some good prices......!!
