Not mine, but just a pic from the web, remember the Magpul M93 introduced in 2002 it was a very interesting stock design which the USMC ordered a batch in '02.

The Magpul M93 was replaced by the model UBR in around 2007-2008.

Since there was still a ban us civilians wanted it but it only became available at the end of the ban at the end of 2004 and really became popular in 2005, the price was high so I just got a Vltor Modstock at that time on my first LMT M4 carbine clone build.

In 2003 I wanted to build a M4 carbine clone but because of the ban it never materialized and I actually built my LMT M4 clone in 2005.

Here was my components plan for my M4 clone in '03:

The forgotten pony Colt Match Target M4 Carbine model MT6400C with pinned muzzle brake (guys remember those were really desirable during the ban and after for a very close M4 clone?)
Knight's Armament Co. older M4 model RIS rails (or new Colt M4 double heat shields handguard)
KAC VFG
cut down rear carry handle rear sight
SOPMOD or new Colt M4 type 2 waffle buttstock
Aimpoint Comp M2 on Aimpoint mount or Wilcox 30mm mount
Surefire 6P light with Wilcox mount
Boonie Packer 2 point sling (remember those?)
USGI 30 rd mags with Magpul mag pulls

After the ban in 2005 I completed my M4 clone with updated components:

LMT M4 16" barrel upper half
LMT Defender 2000 lower half
LMT factory fixed rear cut carry handle sight
KAC M4 RAS rails & VFG
KAC high QD mount lower 1/3 co-witness
Aimpoint Comp M2
Vltor original carbine model Modstock
Surefire M951 weaponlight
Blue Force Gear 2 point sling (not Vickers VCAS)
USGI 30 rd mags with Magpul gen 1 anti-tilt followers, Ranger and L plates

Maybe I might build an early 2000 M4 clone later on after I finish my current build projects.

I remember when that was first posted here.

I built my first AR in 2004, and it was a M4A1 clone. They were referred to as "M4gery" by most here at that time. Bushmaster barrel, detachable carry handle, and Colt M4 (double heat shield ) hand guards. I knew I couldn't afford a good optic at first. Most of the parts I bought for the build were used. I think I had $530 in that base rifle.

I later bought a new Hakko Tacpoint Blue Ring (Aimpoint ML2 clone) from CDNN, and mounted it in what was definitely an airsoft high ring (6-screw) so it would lower-third cowitness with my ASA copy of a GG&G M.A.D. BUIS.
I did much reading here deciding on that setup. The reviews were favorable. (Not the high ring. I took a chance and ordered it directly from Hong Kong, along with some other crap.)
https://picturearchive.gunauction.com/1121145810/6625887/5af288d09fc270145d4a4bf881c856b4.jpg

Mine didn't have blue paint in the markings, but the blue ring bothered me, so I carefully covered it with flat black Testors model paint. I was very pleased with its performance and it held zero just fine. Only the switch and covers felt cheap.
The next upgrade was a YHM 2-piece quad rail (with KAC VFG and Magpul XT covers). This was before RIS/RAS were all over eBay for $100. I actually got that Bushy M4 barrel from eBay. Someone had messed up and listed it as a M5 15" barrel. I was the only bidder.

I still have most of that AR, but it now has a real CompM2 in a GG&G cantilever, KAC RAS, real M.A.D. and PVS-14 QD. These upgrades were 2006/2007 timeframe, when I could finally afford a PVS-14 and other fun toys.

I still have my Tacpoint from back then, lol.

I have it mounted on my 10/22 and I have abused the absolute hell out of it. Treated it like I would never treat my real Aimpoints, and the thing is still working perfectly. Nearly 15 years old, all dinged to hell and Sharpie'ed on the blue ring and Tacpoint logo, but it holds zero and does its job. You're right about the switch and covers being cheap, though. Maybe one of these days I will splurge and get some real Aimpoint covers for it ;p.

I want to say it was called the Duostock? That sounds familiar. I think Troy made that, but I could be wrong, I remember seeing ads for it in a collection of old Shotgun News i was given when I was 14-16

ETA: Yep, Duostock, but not seeing a brand.

I could see how it might actually be useful.  But man is it hideous.  I remember those things too.  Very few people on here used them.  If any.......  Now the magpul, some dudes had one.  I always thought that thing was ugly also.  Not quite as bad as the duostock but blaaaaaaaa  Looks like 3CPO's arm or something like that.

I have a duostock. It needs some sort of friction material on the butt. It just slides out of the shoulder pocket as it comes from the factory. CDNN was selling them or possibly a clone for 9.99 a while ago.

Here's one I put back together a couple months ago, but finally zeroed. The A1 HGs are too squishy w/o the heatshields and some ribs, so I'm gonna grind another A2 set to fit.

I do remember this stock.  I wanted one around the time I bought my first AR (2006ish?) thinking it was the most advanced looking AR Stock I’d ever seen.  I never picked one up because they were disco’d by Magpul at the time as they prepared to market the new UBR.  Then a few years later I read this article and was glad I didn’t because Ergo has picked up the design and it got crushed but just about everything else.

GearScout Buttstock Bashfest

Instead, in my infinite wisdom I decided to purchase one of these monstrosities...



Expensive as s***, heavy as hell and not even remotely practical.  You couldn’t even charge the weapon unless the cheek riser was down all the way.  Dumb.

Weaver 1-3x was one of the best tactical minded scopes you could buy.

Any decent quad rail fore end was $300 plus.

Perma welding brakes so you wouldn't have a naked muzzle.

the 16" HBAR Bushmasters with the fixed stock just had a great stout feeling about them and were decently balanced.

The "modern" equivalent. Ultradot 30 in a 1.55" mount (right between lower 1/3rd and co-witness) and MBUS on a flattop.

I can tell I’m getting old because my rifles all now look “retro” except for my overuse of Magpul furniture. For instance, I still really like VFGs.

My first AR was an Armalite M15A2 which cost more in the late 1990s than say a 6920 goes for now. It did, however, come with a muzzle brake that roughly resembled an A2 flash hider when most factory ARs had plain muzzles.

My pre-ban Colt (I bought that around 2001) started life as a 20” HBAR. I made it into ARFCOM cool by getting a Bushmaster A2 Upper with a 14.5” Barrel and pinned Phantom flash hider and of course the M4 telestock and double heat shield handguards.

What do I miss from those days?

-Carry handles everywhere.

-1/9 twist being considered optimal.

-Go chrome or go home.

-Every post on ARFCOM contained references to M4gery builds.

true that.  And you had to run your stock really close to the receiver because it was cool.  And helped you square up to the target.  COMPLETELY square.  A 20" gun was forbidden.  I remember thinking my Colt 20" A2 was a POS because most said it had no use.  Too long.

But yeah, M4gery craziness......

I went with the ABC’s, and later I desperately wanted a Rock River.

Here the Bushmaster was stock, but the PSS was much cooler with the krylon.

Suppressor, light, sling, Eotech, and chopped carry handle - this was one bad rifle. I didn’t know anybody else with a can, I was definitely the coolest guy on the range but there were always some that couldn’t be convinced it was legal.

It ended up with a Yankee Hill free float handguard and a VFG before I sold it.

I’ve learned KAC/P&S VFGs are the crème de la crème. Everything you need and nothing you don’t.

My collection of discarded parts and doodads grows with age.

Is that you?  I like the 12 gauge rounds up on the chest, high.  Knock yourself in the chin getting those?  LOL.  [/url]

The "modern" equivalent. Ultradot 30 in a 1.55" mount (right between lower 1/3rd and co-witness) and MBUS on a flattop.

I'd never seen Ultradots on anything except Bullseye pistols and thought I was somethin' special.

Not sure what I'm looking at here or how it relates to my post. Looks like a bullseye shooter. Is he using an UltraDot?

Gotcha. SSK recommended the UltraDot for its ability to withstand recoil. Again, way back when before RDS became de rigueur.

After having owned what seems like nearly every flipping variation of AFG, VFG, short vfg, Hand Stop, etc... my fav is the KAC VFG style.  For the exact same reasons as you.
