who makes the longest stock? I'm over 6'4" and i simply want more length than the factory dpms 6pos can handle....
if there's one that carries 2-4in more i'd be exstatic.

5) Adjustability - How many positions does it have? Can it be easily opened to your preferred LOP
MagPul M93A - This stock offers more positions (8) than any other stock on the market. It is also the only stock that allows the user to set-up LOP presets. Fully collapsed, it's about .25" longer than the M-4 closed (10.04" LOP). When fully extended, it's about .5 longer than an A2 stock (13.98" LOP). Clearly, the M93A offers more adjustability than any of the other 3 stocks. Ace M4 SOCOM - This stock has 5 positions in 1/2" increments and it comes with either a 1.0" or 0.5" recoil pad. There are no preset options. There are 2 versions of thi stock available. The shorter version has a length of pull (without a recoil pad) that can be adjusted from 11.0" to 13.0". The longer version has a length of pull (without a recoil pad) that can be adjusted from 13.0" to 15.0". Also, for folks in states that still have an AWB, you can swap out the push-button with a supplied set-screw to "fix" the stock at the user specified length. LMT SOPMOD - This requires a mil-spec buffer tube which are available in either 4 or 5 position versions. If you use a 4 position buffer tube, the minimum LOP will be 11" and the maximum LOP will be 14.25" which makes the LMT SOPMOD stock the longest one out of the box. Vltor - This requires a mil-spec buffer tube which are available in either 4 or 5 position versions. The buffer tube offered by Vltor as 5 positions. Minimum LOP is 10" and maximum LOP is 13.32". There are rubber butt pads available for this stock if you want to increase the LOP. Standard M-4 - These do not require mil-spec buffer tubes with the exception of genuine Colt stocks. Buffer tubes are available with 4, 5 or 6 positions and I believe there is even a 7 position one now. Minimum LOP is 9.84" and maximum LOP (with a 4 position buffer tube) is 13.18". If you use a 5 position buffer tube, the max LOP will be right around 13.32" If you use a 6 position buffer tube, the max LOP will be around 14". There are also rubber butt pads available for this stock if you want to increase the LOP. From this thread |

thanks guys..
I don't chicken wing it, i simply don't like the sight window on my 0-2 sight from the standard stock... I was thinking that if i move the weapon forward/shoulder back/sight forward etc... that it might help a bit.. for now it's not a major concern, but as my carry handle is not detachable i can't move buis forward.... looks like the socom with the 1in pad would net me the longest possibility, but i'm pretty much decided on replacing my upper with a flat top and simply mount the iron sights forward an inch or so.. shouldn't have settled for a fixed carry handle in the first place. |
