I finally broke down and got a fixed stock for my rifle. You guys are a bad influence.
I am testing a Meprolight M21 reflex sight at work in the photo, but will probably run one of those and a 3-9/4-12 scope on a QD base to swap as needed. Beyond that, i just need to find a good sling to carry it, and she's almost done. (need a flashlight and maybe a PA green laser for goofing off) Hoping to make a shroud out of some ATACS fabric since I can't bring myself to paint the rifle (dont want to screw it up) I figure that the M21 will work in the cold where an Aimpoint or Eotech would die horribly (batteries last 30 seconds in -35/40f) so it would work great for a wolf hunting optic. Not to mention that even with my glasses, most red dots are goofy from astigmatism but this actually works for me. Without my glasses I'd still be able to manage torso shots at 100 yards in a rush. (I just see a blob)

It likes 62gr handloads and PRVI 75gr OTM. I'm sure many other kinds of quality ammo would be good too - just haven't tried them yet! Balance is good too, as you can see it naturally rests on the grip and magazine with nothing else touching.

I'm sorry guys, but I have sinned. I have left the brotherhood of the fixed stock. FrozenSig (buddy of mine) is leaving state for CA and wanted to swap me parts for my CA legal A2.
Not sure which I like more honestly...

Do you like the A1 upper middy or the AP middy setup better? Reason I ask, I might take the c7 upper off my carbine and make a c7/a1 middy upper and put a flat top on my carbine. Or leave the carbine alone and flattop the middy barrel and put an ap pro on it. |

not sure what you mean by AP, but I lean towards the A1 upper on the midlength barrel for the longer iron sight radius. A flat top and an M4 barrel seem to go together better.
But I'm really no help, because right now this is my favorite AR 14.5 midlength barrel, switched uppers and barrels from pics 2 & 3  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fastswift:
Well….I did some changing around on my fixed stock middy. Like a lot of us, I thought I had it configured the way I wanted. Then I saw the extended Apex handguard and realized I had a bit more work to do….then a good deal on a T1 came my way and my trusted PRO was switched out for a T1 on a DD mount. Still looking at white lights, but in the meantime I have a old Surefire 6P I can bolt on if needed. The Apex is strictly amazing. Light, super stiff and it had the two things I wanted – it had a small outside diameter and it extended past the FSB giving me more hand room. NOW I am done! (I hope) http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y345/fastswift1/IMG_1476.jpg" target="_blank">http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y345/fastswift1/IMG_1476.jpg</a> I like it. Is that a PA red dot in a high mount? |

A set of Armalite demo furniture that they made for the AR10B back in the early 90s when they were trying to drum up interest for the new rifle. Supposedly hand painted aluminum tube and plastic grip and stock; they made around 100 of them (at least, that's what one of the guys at Armalite told me when I asked them about the set). ARP 6.8 SPC middy barrel mated to a Les Baer matched receiver set (old pic still had the Tom Sawyer MFG lower). |

Thanks - that top one is my sons and I really like the way it turned out too but he's wanting to upgrade it to something more like mine (the bottom one). FYI, both guns have Colt 'CS' stocks which IMO is the best fixed stock for the AR platform. Shame they're so hard to find. |

Expensive too, for what they are. I think the Cav Arms A1 stocks are a decent modern option, but their buttplate is junk from what I understand. I would like to see one cloe up. Frankly, I use standard A1 stocks and doubt I'll ever need to buttstroke someone with it, so they work fine for me. I really like fixed stock carbines, and use a GP style sling on mine - very simple, very cheap, and the fastest transition to handgun (no adjustment) I've found, but I'm no ninja either.

They will work and I'm not worried about them breaking but they're too hollow/cheap feeling for my tastes. I'm not worried about butt stroking anybody but I do like the extra weight of the CS stock which helps balance out the rifle and give it a more solid feel. Originally Posted By Morg308:

(Range shooting, 3-gun, hunting, whatever) and I think a fixed stock is more appropriate for that type of rig. I do prefer a retractable stock on my carbines though because I'm more likely to use them for training classes and CQB type shooting. For that type of shooting, I like being able to shorten up the stock so that I can more easily square up to the target. Right tool for the job and all that. |
