Hey all, Seeing as how the ban has been expired for a good while now I'm looking to convert my "ban-legal" AR to its appropriate glory by adding a new barrel with threads and a lug and also by adding a collapsible stock. In the interest of saving money (I'm a grad student) I was thinking of getting one of the "el cheapo" telescoping stocks like the ones made by Leapers at Cheaper Than Dirt.... http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ARR007-3293-1888.html I'm not really interested in the six-position M4's, mainly due to my budget. However, if anyone has had a bad experience with the Leapers 4-position stocks or similar ones made by another manufacturer I'd like to hear about it. Otherwise I'm probably gonna go with the Leapers. Thanks! |

I fully understand where you are coming from, but I would avoid getting that low cost leapers stock. the ones I have seen were not very good at all. For 50$ you can get a much better quality one from here. Or even go here and get a good stock from a very reputable vendor. The buffer tube, springs and buffer are very important to the function of the rifle. |
I like my Cav Arms M4 stock. Seems like a solid product to me. I've never compared it to the cheap chinese crap but I have compared it to a friends DPMS. I liked the Cav Arms much better. |

I got a six position stock from J&T Distributing, and it's great! Check them out at: www.jtdistributing.com I ordered from the PDF catalog, called the order in over the phone and the woman who took my order was really cool. I think it was 65-75 bucks. Verry sturdy and functions necely. |

Have any of you guys tried the fiberlight stocks from Model One Sales? FIBERLIGHT STOCKS AT MODEL 1 SALES |
those fall in the same category as the other cheap stocks |
+1 That style of stock can be had in better quality. Don't buy crap several times; buy quality once. |

Here's where I ordered my Cav stock. It should be here soon. dsgarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=20&CFID=203204&CFTOKEN=68413494 |
The 50$ EE stocks sound like they are rock river arms type stocks. They are a much better stock than the el cheapo stocks from China. The stock's like the stag/CMT have a buffer tube made to mil-spec, and they are supposed to feel and be better constructed. I have a RRA stock and a stag/CMT one, but have not compared them side by side yet, so I'm not the best to answer this fully. |

I bought a OLD Style Tele stock from bravo comp. its pretty nice for the around 40 buck price tag! and has hradly any slop! I also bought the VLTOR wich is a BIT nicer and has a good cheek hold! But it doesnt seem any tuffer or stronger than the Tactical Stocks from Colt/Bushwacker I think if you are just going to the range to have fun get the FIBER LITE old school type stock! |
Well, I got two new collapsable stocks last week. A Rock River (on a complete lower) and the Cav Arms. The RR is tighter than a ticks ***. The Cav looks great but is a sloppy fit on the supplied tube, rattle city.
