The A-1 buttstock is the one that I prefer and it's 5/8" shorther than the A-2 version. You could always go with the stubby stock which is the shortest fixed buttstock available and still remain legal. It's 3.25" shorther than the A-2.

There are several options. I use an Ace shorty stock on my Colt M4 carbine, and two different recoil pads are available to change the length of pull. You can also get a shorty A2 style stock. Here are some pics of mine:

Cool. Will changing the buffer spring affect the F/A performance?

Quoted: You could always go with the stubby stock which is the shortest fixed buttstock available and still remain legal. Not quite. You could use a shorter stock than the stubby and remain legal, but, the rifle may no longer function. The limiting factor for the stubby is that it uses the tele-stock buffer and spring. My 16" barreled rifle with the stubby-stock is quite a bit longer than 26". |

If you have a functional tele stock on now-
it uses the carbine length buffer and spring. A fixed (A1 or A2) stock would require a longer tube , buffer , and spring. The function would not be affected , but you would "feel" less recoil. |

I would recommend an A1, Cav Arms C1, or a Colt C7 (A1 length, A2 construction). All of these are 5/8" shorter than an A2. You might find the C7 here...[url]http://www.sawlesales.com/[/url]. Ask to speak to Ken and ask for the Colt short stock.
The above link will probably start a shitstorm, but please try to refrain from turning this thread into a mosh pit. |

Check out the MagPul Modular Stock - MagPul will make it a postban compliant stock at any position you request - and as an added bonus, they will convert it back to a telestock when the ban sunsets.
I'll also bet money that it is as solid as any fixed stock out there. |

Thanks! I had that length with the stubby plus a 1" spacer. It's just too short for me. Guess I'll have to stick with the A1 until the AWB sunset, then get a collapsible.
