| hello all. i was wondering if there's a difference in accuracy between an AR with a collapsable stock and an AR with the full stock like the A2. it doesn't seem like there should much of a difference but i'm new to ARs and i'd like to know. thanks. |
Welcome to the site! personally, i see no difference in the stocks (16in bbls) and accuracy h/w, there are many factors, such as bbl style/size, posision of shooting, chamber tightness, ammo, etc--i would not rate the stock to be a major factor in accuracy h/w, the stock that fits you best, that gives you the most comfortable length of pull, and stability would probably give you the best, more comfortable shooting possible i would use the fixed stock (ACE) if you are accuracy orientated also, having a 20in bbl and a collapsable stock would be kinda forend heavy and feel weird to shoot standing...... |

I think of the two stocks as being in two different environments: collapsible for shoot 'n move work, fixed for sit 'n shoot. I realized that's a gross generalization, but I think you see what I'm trying to say. At any rate, I've never felt that I've suffered a loss of accuracy while shooting my 16" rifles with their collapsible stocks vs. shooting my 20" rifle with its fixed stock, even when using both in a "tactical" training environment. The collapsible stock offers me greater choices in LOP is all. |

| I am a torn individual. I HATE M4 and CAR stocks, shit weld, rattly, ugly. I love the Magpul, but cant afford one again right now. The A2 stock is WAY too long for my squared stance, so I bought a RRA entry stock for cheap, and put a 1" long recoil pad on it. I love it. Its short, solid, comfy, sticks to my shoulder pocket, and doesnt RATTLE! |
Beetle, I think in theory, yes, but in practicality, you would have to have some MAJOR catlike reflexes to take advantage of the lock-up difference. Doc |
Full auto would be a big difference if faster cycle rate though, right? |
