I have a Bushmaster with "stock" (no pun intended) collapsible stock, and even at full extension, it feels too short.  Besides adding a pad for extension, I am wondering if the other after-market collapsible stocks add length to the stock.  I'm only looking for an additional 4-5 inches, and would appreciate any info (besides smart-assed comments regarding length) on the subject.

I don't think there is any way you can get an additional 4-5 inches.    I can't even imagine needing 4-5" more.  

The Magpul stock I believe is a little bit longer than a 6pos atock but no where near 4-5"

Square your stance up.  I'm six feet tall, and I like to use a Crane stock at full collapse.

Points taken.  What I'm dealing with is the uncomfortable "hunched over" feel I get when using the BUIS.  I feel like I'm crowding the rear sight in order to post my target, and I'm trying to get away from that.  When shooting my SKS with the Dragonov (sp?) set up, I have a longer stock, which allows me to aquire the target more effeciently, and I switch to the AR, and it just doesn't feel right.  I of course realize these are two totally different weapons, but I'd like to match the feel of the longer SKS stock on my AR.

I don't know what to tell you.  I shoot nose to the charging handle, but I put the rifle high up, with the toe of the stock on my collarbone so I don't have to bend my neck.

 That's what bothers me; the butt plate on my collarbone, or the hunching down.  Just feels wrong.  I'm used to the rifle being solid against my shoulder.  I think I may be too accustomed to shooting magnums...

You could switch to an A2 stock and add an adj. butt pad by Accuracy Speaks or Fulton Armory.
This is about the only way I know of that you can get the drop at the heel you need or come close on length of pull.
