| After much reading on this board I bought the Bushmaster XM E2S A2 16" carbine (heavy barrel, no comp/brake, A2 stock) and an EOTECH 512 with an ARMS carry handle mount. Now I need extra mags, a better sling, and lord knows what else (vertical grip handle, ACE skeleton stock, light?). Thanks to all for the education. I can tell that this is going to get expensive, real quick! Russ |

At 6' I think you'll find the A1 length stocks more comfortable (they are 5/8" shorter). If you like the A2 style and want some storage area then buy a Cav-Arms C1 type stock. Its the cheapest option (other than a surplus A1 stock). You can use the buttplate from your A2 stock - toss the spacer - and use the A1 length screw that should come with the Cav Arms stock. Other options are the ACE Skeleton stock (without the rubber pad); or the new VLTOR A1 length stock (which has compartments for batteries for your EO Tech). For A defensive rifle you will need a light - and get some 'Urban Carbine' training. Jim Crews is up your way and offers some great training. |

Forest: as a newbie to AR's there are a lot of things I didn't think of, one of them being stock lenght -- other than I knew I wouldn't be using body armor and didn't want the stubby stock. I've been contemplating the ACE stock. I am unfamiliar with Jim Crews and would appreciate some more info about his course and him. Thanks again. Russ |
